Rendition Concering Books Ever
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.

Nope. Do I really have to explain? A god and a human? *fake laughter* Not even gonna start. I picked the book up without fully comprehending what it was about. My mistake.I surprised myself by finishing this book in one day! I really enjoyed Ever, and I will definitely read Gail Carson Levines other books!Here are the stats:-Romance: nothing bad or too descriptive, a good deal of kissing. -Violence: hmm... I wouldnt say there is violence, but there is a lot of talk of making human sacrifices.-Language: nothing bad in this area! I appreciated reading a book thats clean.What I didnt like..-Kezi and Olus fell in love WAY too quickly and were kissing before I got
A lot of people reviewing this book are complaining about the writing style and seemingly flat characterizations in the story. The writing style used in this book is an intentional imitation of ancient Mesopotamian texts and story telling techniques, which was a quirk that I really enjoyed, perhaps because I knew where it was coming from and what she was doing. However, I can understand why others who don't know where this is coming from are having problems with it. This imitation also impacts
I bought this book with great anticipation. I loved the author's previous works, and I was looking forward to a nice enjoyable read. I found something quite different.First, I found the characters to be flat, one demensional, and simplistic. Perhaps Levine was trying to catch the simplicity of the setting, ancient times, with her tale, but I found it lacking her usual magic.Second, and most importantly to me, I found her presentation of the female's god hitting too close to home. Though she
From http://rowijo.void-star.netThe title of this post is my favorite quote from Ever, the new novel by Gail Carson Levine. Yknow, she wrote Ella Enchanted? And then some other books that werent as good in my personal opinion? Anyway, this one is amazingly good to the point of being ridiculous. Its so good, its almost like eating chocolate. Unless you dont like chocolate, in which case you probably arent allowed to read in the insane asylum you are in.The story is told in alternating (short)
It was a sweet, light, romance. There's definitely issues here, but for what it is, it was nice.
A Quickie ReviewI tried reading this a week or two ago, and forgot about it; just a day or two ago, I started it again, but couldn't finish it. This book is just not up to par with Ms. Levine's other writings. The awkward writing, the inane story...yeah, you should just skip this one.Content Concerns: Polytheistic spirituality may bother some folks, even if the above negative qualities don't.Score: 1.25/5
