There’s nothing I can really add about the great characters I mentioned in the last review than to say is that they get better in this book. I said in my review of Everlost that it was really unique in its world building the world building didn’t stop with that book, it continues in Everwild, and there’s so much more to discover and be in awe of. We find out more about Everlost, about skinjackers and ecto-rippers, and we see the characters we followed in Everlost evolve in surprising ways. There were moments in this book when I was close to tears, there were moments when I was so disturbed and disgusted I didn’t want to read anymore – but couldn’t put the book down at the same time. Everwild is written in the same style as Everlost, which I can only describe as sweet, so there is nothing graphic or too violent that actually happens in the book, which I think just makes these bombshells even more surprising! I recommend that you try and roughly remember this summary or just that you like the sound it, and don’t read the summaries on online bookstores or on the book when you buy it.īut now to the actual story! I loved it! I cannot tell you just how mind blowing the plot of Everwild is! Despite the obvious detail in the blurb, there were so many things that happened in this book that would literally have me gawping at the book. Does it not annoy you when summaries/blurbs give away too much information? It drives me mad! So for the sake of those who haven’t read the book yet, I removed the line from the summary. The one above from Borders is the best in giving the most summarising info, but every summary I found included one line that is also on the back of the book one line that made it so obvious what was going to happen for one of the characters, that I worked it out before I even opened the book. From Borders US.īefore I get into this review, I need to talk about the summary. Allie is tempted by the seductive thrill of skinjacking the living, until she learns a shocking secret. Meanwhile, Allie the Outcast travels home to seek out her parents, along with Mikey, who was once the terrifying monster the McGill. Traveling in the memory of the Hindenburg, Mary is spreading her propaganda and attracting Afterlights to her cause at a frightening speed. Mary Hightower, self-proclaimed queen of lost children and dangerous fanatic, is determined to keep Everlost's children trapped within its limbo for all eternity. Nick the "Chocolate Ogre" wants to help the children of Everlost reach the light at the end of the tunnel. Everlost, the limbo land of dead children, is at war. And there were whispers of a terrible ogre made entirely of chocolate, who lured unsuspecting souls with that rich promising smell, only to cast them down a bottomless pit from which there was no return. There was the rumor of a beautiful sky witch, who soared across the heavens in a great silver balloon. If you plan on reading Everlost, don’t read any further if you don’t want to be spoiled.
