Create an account and send a request for reading to other users on the Webpage of the book! I will probably stick around for the third volume in this trilogy. Holy crap, guys. If you thought that the feels couldn't get any more intense than in book one, you're in for a rude awakening.
Ashton, quit playin' games with my heart. There's a lot of pain in this book, but it's crafted into something incredible, just like book one, and I feel like Ashton as a writer grew in nearly every technical area with this book. The words feel stronger, and the twists are twistier, and generally, it's just a rollercoaster ride of a book.
If you liked "Everneath", you're going to love "Everbound". In "Neverfall", we get to see things from Cole's POV as the Everneath itself has changed over the years, especially with Persephone's descendents no pun intended.
However, because we're seeing so much history, it's a great link to this second book the best way to use a novella! Which is useful, especially when we're on a journey to save Jack from the almost unfindable Tunnels in Everneath.
While it isn't essential to have read "Neverfall", it certainly helps as you get continually punched in the feels with this book. That being said, this book is really intense.
To the point were at some areas, I had to put the book down and walk away to process the either emotional input or the sensory input and not feel overwhelmed. But you know what? That's a good thing. If Ashton is overloading me with feels and sensory input, it means she's doing her job as a writer. Any hesitation you might have felt when it came to putting Nikki and Jack through the ringer okay, yeah, Cole too in "Everneath" - you won't see that here.
At all. The sensory input is almost brutal just wait until you get to the first real sensory language-filled scene with the Queen in Ouros Square - won't spoil any further than that , but it's a glorious thing.
There's also a lot of hybridism going on with this book in terms of which Greek myths Ashton is retelling within this series as a whole - for the first book, we get the sense of a retelling of the Persephone and Hades myth. In this one, it's Ariadne and the Minotaur all the way - with only mentions of Persephone herself and by name near the end of the book.
Which isn't an issue as long as things are compatible - if anything, it's exciting. I don't think I've seen anything done like this before in either YA or adult lit, aside from Marissa Meyer's rewriting of fairy tales with the "Lunar Chronicles" series which is also amazing, fyi. So I really have to give a fistbump to Ashton for being brave enough to even attempt to do this.
I tip my hat to the fact that she's pulled it off gorgeously. Also, fyi - if you're a Christopher Nolan fan, watch for the "Inception" tributes scattered throughout the book. And the noises of glee I made whenever a tribute came up? Not even close to human. Perhaps what's developed the most in this book aside from Ashton's loss of fear of completely tearing apart her darlings for emotional payoff success is the way she's filled out the rest of her world along with introducing new characters which is a great way to help finish building a world, or at least firmly establishing it.
In book one Everneath isn't quite given equal screentime because Nikki's on the Surface, we get more of the Surface in terms of worldbuilding and details. Things are more or less reversed in this book - because Nikki needs to find Jack, we get more worldbuilding and detailing of Everneath itself - and the complexity that's been put into it is nothing less than awesome. It's simple, but it works. There's also heavy mentions of Dante's "Inferno", so look out for those, because they're really quite relevant.
There's way more sensory input this time around when it comes to talking about the Everneath - and in some areas, so detailed, it made me nauseous or dizzy. You know when you get a visceral reaction from a reader that you've done your job as an author. As for characters, Ashton kind of makes use of the relationship web school of worldbuilding by extending her main cast to more firmly include Max, Will, and Mrs. Jenkins and to a lesser extent, Jules , but also introduces the Queen of the Everneath and Ashe, one of Cole's friends who still lives within Everneath.
Through these new or more filled out minor characters from the first book, the Everneath world is built easily, and along with the plot arc of trying to find Jack, it's pretty smooth settling. Not once did I feel there was a character out of place, or giving information where it wasn't needed or appropriate. Though the Everneath world itself gets the most work done on it, the Surface world gets enough love to the point where both worlds feel incredibly polished, and thus, very real.
One last thing: that ending. I didn't see it coming, though with the hints from "Neverfall" and with a certain character, I probably should have. Get ready to have the rug pulled out from under you once again, though this time we don't quite end on a cliffhanger. Which was a relief because I feel like I need to apply ice to all of the areas where my feels got punched.
Final verdict? If you've already started the descent into the "Everneath" universe, you simply must continue the journey in "Everbound". I really hope we get another in-between novella between now and book three, because honestly?
I don't think I can wait that long without wanting more. Gorgeously crafted, I think you'll find yourself quite surprised with how much Ashton has grown, and that's one of the many reasons why this book has made my best of so far list. I am giving this 5 stars for the young adult audience that is the target group that the book is geared to, For an adult perhaps 4 stars is more in line.
I have not read Everneath, the first in this series but very quickly got the gist of what was going on. There are parallel world here - ours and then a shady hostile would in which humans can sometimes find themselves drawn into. Nikki, the main character, finds out that her boyfriend has been trapped in this shady world and she is determined to rescue him.
She has to enlist the help of another young man who also is smitten by the heroine. So there is a triangle here and I must say I think the book would much loved by the young adult female audience more than males even though there is tension, action, treachery and intrigue. I think the love story trumps the other aspects of the plot.. In total, it well written and even an old codger like myself enjoyed it.
Opening Sentence: I see Jack every night. In my dreams. So many hidden agendas and secrets are revealed and twisted into the story. Second book slump? No way! Everbound a great dare I say better edition to the series!
Everbound takes place a month after the ending of Everneath. Nikki is desperately trying to find a way to get back to Jack, who took her place in the Everneath. Nikki, still trying to recover lost relationships from her last journey to the Everneath, is desperate enough to try to enlist Cole to help her — but first, she has to find where he is. This is a journey unlike any other. Nikki will have to be tested on mental strength if she has any hope of making it through the Everneath.
It took a while, but eventually they came back, and they were as interesting as the actual plot. And believe me, the plot had me yelling at the characters and reading through the night I actually finished this book in one day.
It was that good. Ashton creates a suspense like no other—through the tense situations with Cole to the magnificent trials inside the Everneath. This book has 10x more Cole and 10x less Jack. I fell hard for this guy, despite what I knew from the first book.
He can seem so innocent, wanting the best for Nikki and actually helping her along the way. Now I have to wait another distressing year for the final outcome…Notable Scene: My cheeks grew hot. I thought about what Ashe had said about his tether to me. I shook my head. But then I felt him relax against me. He acted as if it were a joke, but did some part of him really believe it? The way Nikki reacts to her mothers death is given about as much weight as a dead goldfish.
She barely acknowledges it. But Jack, her fairly new boyfriend, is gone for a couple months and she is on the brink of death herself. It just felt so wrong. I would have enjoyed this book so much more if just an ounce of perspective was given.
Death of a loving mother should be so much more significant than a missing boyfriend. Most of the book takes place in the Everneath and characters are constantly stopping to explain some function or species or rule. On the plus side, in order to find Jack, Nikki has to keep him foremost in her mind while in Everneath so there are a handful of flashback scenes from their relationship: sweetly awkward moments, fights, their first kiss.
It really helped to explain why Nikki would risk so much for Jack and why his love had allowed her to survive the Tunnels. Imbalances aside, Brodi Ashton writes well and drops plenty of surprise twists and revelations. The ending is particularly well done and shocking.
The Arcana Chronicles, Book 6. Would you like to tell us about a lower price? In order to stay focused, Nikki often reminisced about moments with Jack to keep her tether intact and her memories strong. Death and the Girl Next Door. I personally find Cole more complex, and just a-little-bit-bad, and therefore a more compelling love interest.
