Evermore by Daniel Reed, Isobelle Carmody

dark mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced

This was beautiful, strange, gorgeous and grim. Falls into Carmody's wheelhouse and some similarities with Obernewton. An intriguing short novel.

An unusual dystopian fiction, as it's merged with fairytale. I enjoyed the storytelling aspect and the journey, although I felt the ending was rather abrupt and contrived. But then that's generally the case with fairytales!

I don't know why I waited so long to read this? It was such an intriguing story, and the way it was told was stunning. I want to know more about this future that may seem bleak, but has good in it amongst the rubble.

What a magical journey full of stunning, unexpected imagery... Isobelle Carmody's writing style perfectly fits with the beautiful illustrations of Daniel Reed. It's a story told within a story told at different time points within the life of a princess. I would absolutely love to see both the Queen's and Tom's stories told in the same way!

Made me cry…THAT LAST SCENE.

I can tell why I really enjoyed this book. While I feel the time jump could have been handled better this is still fantastic. Awesome mix of dystopian, fairytale, horror, romance, and mystery

Freaking beautiful. It would be a five star if it wasn't so bittersweet.
Gorgeous art, and a twisty plot that seems to reference at least a dozen fairytales, and very well!

This story was very much told in fairytale fashion. The art was kind of dark and gritty - personally it wasn't really a fav style. The world building was interesting but I'd have liked more, and I think I felt the same about the story overall. The most interesting part happens off-page and then boom, everything's resolved. I find this quite often with graphic novels, but it just felt like a story with great potential that could have been developed to a deeper extent.
