Nərmin's Reviews > Everlost

The thing that attracted me to this book was its fascinasting idea and the name of the writer. I really loved his "Unwind" series so I went excitedly to this book.

I would say I got what I wanted from this book, be it an interesting story idea, a great setting, likeable characters or smooth writing. However there were some sides to the book which needed improvement. I feel like the idea of Everlost could have been explored more deeply, not within 300+ pages. Besides the character decisions and feelings were sometimes cringy, such as Nick being suddenly in love with Mary, or Mary's desire to have all children in Everlost. Allie is such a good character, but can make hasty decisions that contradicts with her smartness. Lief remained kind of underdeveloped in my opinion.
But these are minor issues and I want to continue reading the trilogy to find out what happens to those children. I am in love with the writer, and I guess the same obsession that happened with Rick Riordan will happen again with Neal Shusterman and I will devour all of his books in a matter of time.
