Product Description:
Falling in love is never easy, but falling in love with an immortal god while your days on earth are numbered is almost more than a young girl can bear.
Newbery Honor author Gail Carson Levine has created a stunning new world of flawed gods, unbreakable vows, and ancient omens in this spellbinding story of Kezi, a girl confronted with a terrible destiny. Attempting to thwart her fate, Kezi and her love, Olus -- the god of wind and loneliness -- embark on a series of dangerous and seemingly impossible quests.

The book is written in first person, present tense. I can never really get immersed in book written this way because people normally tell each other stories in past tense.

But she yet again proves herself a weak person by opening Persephone's box and has to be saved by Eros.

I must admit that I was disappointed by Ever, the latest book by Gail Carson Levine. With books such as Ella Enchanted and The Two Princesses of Bamarre on my top list for favorite young adult fiction, I always have high hopes for Levine's books. But Ever definitely diminished those hopes a little, and I am now hesitant to read some of Levine's other recent works, such as Fairest.
Not only was Levine's writing style different from her past books (though that is to be expected as an ... Read More

If you're expecting something similar to Ella Enchanted, don't. Mrs. Levine has taken a different twist, trying a more diverse setting than before. I, as a writer, found it interesting and helpful to see a book written from two points of view in the present tense. It took a little bit of time to get used to, but didn't drag the storyline.
If you are take an interest in philosophy, greek mythology, or bible study, you should consider this book for discussion. Though most wouldn't recognize ... Read More
