You can read my review for that one here. Happy Book Birthday to this awesome sequel! I read Everless around a year ago – I think in the form of a NetGalley e-ARC, and although I wasn’t blown away by it, I did think it was a good, and entertaining book. For it is only by piecing together the mysteries of her lives that Jules will be able to save the person who has captured her own heart in this one. Jules must delve into the stories that she now recognizes are accounts of her own past. And Caro is intent on destroying Jules, who stole her heart twelve lifetimes ago.

The whole kingdom believes that Jules is responsible for the murders, and a hefty bounty has been placed on her head. But she has just learned the truth: not only are the stories true, but she herself is the Alchemist, and Caro-a woman who single-handedly murdered the Queen and Jules’s first love, Roan, in cold blood-is the Sorceress. Jules Ember was raised hearing legends of the ancient magic of the wicked Alchemist and the good Sorceress. The thoughts and opinions in this article are entirely my own.

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. Everless gives new and terrifying meaning to the phrase running out of time.' -Stephanie Garber, New York Times bestselling author of Caraval
