“In order to have a future worth fighting for, you must have a past worth remembering.”― Alix E. Harrow, The Everlasting

This felt like the longest 300-page book I’ve ever read. It was slow to start, difficult to get into, and overly drawn out for the amount of story it told. That said, I appreciated that it wasn’t a copy-and-paste romantasy novel.

The story felt original, and the writing style was unique, which helped it stand apart from others in the genre. Unfortunately, I struggled with the characters. I wanted to root for them, but I just couldn’t connect. It felt like the story was being told to me rather than allowing me to experience it, which made it hard to become emotionally invested.

Overall, this isn’t a book I would recommend. I found myself looking forward to finishing it rather than enjoying the journey.
