They kind of just popped up randomly and no one seemed to question it. I feel there were plot points in Everless that were just added with no suspicion or forewarning.
I found the story between the Sorcerer and the Alchemist interesting and liked how Holland used a children's tale to explain the story on how blood-irons had come to be. The concept was interesting and unique and it gave the book an air of uniqueness but that was about it for me. The idea behind Everless is interesting: time being bound to blood in the form of coins and then being used as currency. I also found her character to be super reckless and super selfish at times only caring about herself and the answers she was seeking. Only, Jules willingly went back to Everless, she sought out these answers and created many of these problems for herself.
I found Jules be very bland and fit into the same cookie cutter mold of the heroine who got put into a position she didn't ask for and now she has to save her country. Though I did find Everless interesting I did have quite a few issues with it. The idea of time be bound to money and being hoarded by the wealthy was a really cool concept that I was super intrigued by. Her decisions have the power to change her fate-and the fate of time itself.įrom the first moment I saw the cover for Everless I was immediately taken away with this book. Soon she’s caught in a tangle of violent secrets and finds her heart torn between two people she thought she’d never see again. But going back to Everless brings more danger-and temptation-than Jules could have ever imagined. When Jules discovers that her father is dying, she knows that she must return to Everless to earn more time for him before she loses him forever. A decade ago, she and her father were servants at Everless, the Gerlings’ palatial estate, until a fateful accident forced them to flee in the dead of night. No one resents the Gerlings more than Jules Ember. The rich aristocracy, like the Gerlings, tax the poor to the hilt, extending their own lives by centuries.
In the kingdom of Sempera, time is currency-extracted from blood, bound to iron, and consumed to add time to one’s own lifespan.
