Ever


Author: Gail Carson Levine
Genre: Fantasy, romance
My rating on a 1-10 scale: 4
Type: Fiction
Number of pages: 244
Time period: Fantasy
Main characters: Olus, Kezi
Exciting events: Hmmm...
My overall opinion: Well, I came to this book fully expecting to love it. I have loved other books by Levine, so. However, I had multiple problems.
1. Gods. One of the main characters was immortal and a god. As a Christian, I can't accept this.
2. The romance. The characters were about 17 and 14. There was a lot of kissing, and at one point it sorta sounded like they were sleeping together. Obviously wrong.
3. This wasn't so much a problem as something interesting. It was written from both points of view. The chapters went back and forth, first from Olus's view, then from Kezi's. It was interesting for reading. Also they were in present tense.
So all in all, I can't recommend it. Don't read it.
