Narrative Conducive To 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.

Criticize Containing Books Ever

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.

In a world much like historical ancient Sumer, there exist two nearby kingdoms, one monotheistic, the other polytheistic. The gods of the polytheistic kingdom are temperamental, but ultimately have the best interests of their worshippers at heart. The one god of the other city-state, Admat, is jealous and bloodthirsty. The other gods appear in the flesh among their people on festival days; Admats omens are ambiguous and his face is hidden.Atop the magic-shrouded mountain outside the polytheistic

I was a bit baffled by this book at first. I couldnt figure out if I liked it because it is by Gail Carson Levine who I highly admire or because I actually enjoyed the book. I certainly like Fairest and Ella Enchanted more, but Ever is still really good.Kezi lives with her Mati and Pado under her God, Admat. Her Mati gets sick very suddenly, and her Pado promises to Admat to sacrifice the first person to congratulate him if her Mati gets better. Kezi is already nearly 16, the age at which girls

I almost didn't read this because of the horrible reviews it received, and now I wish I hadn't, because I should've been doing laundry, cleaning, errands, paying attention to my daughter, etc. I didn't get anything done because reading this book was like having a plate full of warm chocolate chip cookies in front of me. I can't eat just one, I have to eat the whole plateful and then sit around and hate myself. Well, I don't hate myself, but I definitely couldn't put this book down. I absolutely

All over, I enjoyed this book much more than Ella Enchanted and Fairest (to this day, I still don't really like Ella Enchanted, but Fairest is high on my list of favorites). Olus and Kezi are star-crossed lovers in a desert world, and they meet at a wedding only to fall in love immediately. Ever is fantasically funny at times, and also heart-wrenchingly sappy. There are indeed its moments of cliche, but it's all-over well done. Imagination takes over, with only a few details to give the setting

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

I wasn't expecting much, and didn't get much out of this book. Gail Carson Levine just hasn't written as good a fairytale since "Ella Enchanted". Besides the fact that I thought the whole storyline was rather *ahem* stupid, I thought it was weak, the characters were weak...it just lacked the special "something", I thought. I didn't care about the characters, didn't care what dangers they went through, or whether or not they'd make it in the end. It won't be one I'll read again...
