Interesting look at theology/mythology...but in the end, "Ever" falls flat. The book is too short for any real character development...and the every other chapter character viewpoint change doesn't help. It doesn't break up the story too badly, but some "chapters" consist of only a few paragraphs...not enough to get the feel of a character. Both Kezi and Olus are very two dimensional and have a relationship that I wanted to buy into so badly but couldn't. Is the message that you should search forever for a God that isn't there? Maybe it's unfair to review as an adult, as this is really a young adult title...but shallow writing is shallow writing. It's not bad for a kid wanting something that reads quickly and is sort of romantic...I just think with this author I expected more.
