Best book out of the series, which I didn't care for the others at all. This one actually was very interesting! Ever has to take a journey to see how things began so that she can "find the cure". Damen just wants to be able to touch the woman of his dreams for once and Ever wants to allow people to find their true happiness. She sets off on the biggest and most important thing in her life and possibly others' lives.

I've got to admit, I got a bit bored of this series. I found the penultimate book annoying and I was starting to get slightly fed up. Needless to say, I was still looking forward to reading the last book, even to just see the back of it.
I definitely enjoyed this book more than some of the others in the series but I found myself losing interest with some of the plots. It was slightly predictable and I would have liked to have seen a more Jaw-Dropping twist in there somewhere.
I have to say that I did love the Shadowland storyline about half way through the book. That was the best thing about the story for me (probably because Roman was one of the best characters in this series in my opinion and it got boring once he was out of the picture!), after that I felt like the plot was dragging slightly.
I was also very disappointed with the lack of Miles in this book. I think he is a fabulous character and I wish he had a bigger role to play.
The end was good closure for the series but, again, was predictable. Overall, I'm glad I stuck with the series and I think the end is very satisfying for the fans.

I just love this whole world. The drama within the book just keeps me hooked and it makes me happy that they got the HEA in the end.

The rest of the series was pretty good. This last one however was quite cheesy and lacked the true consistent concept that ran the others. I believe Noel made the characters act in a way that was inconsistent with the other books because she wanted the story to end in a moral rather than a true consistent ending.

Finally! The series is over, I enjoyed it while it lasted, but it wasn't my favorite. There were some confusing details in this installment and the typical Ever moment where you just want to roll your eyes and punch the girl, but overall I enjoyed it. The ending was a little too much for me though...

To start this review out on a positive note, Ever acts significantly less idiotic in this novel.
The Immortals series was never a top choice of mine. They were always on a lower half of a three-star rating for me, but they were nice, easy reads nonetheless. Evermore started out as a bit of a Twilight knock-off but eventually evolved itself into a series that stood its own ground. Alyson Noel thought out the series' mythology pretty well and offered the reader with topics such as reincarnation, magic, afterlives, etc. I never liked this series for the Ever/Damen relationship - it was the weakest part of the stories for me, and the we-can't-have-sex storyline is idiotic - but it was enjoyable to see Noel's ideals presented in a watered-down way for her young-adult audience.
That being said, Everlasting was my least favorite novel of the series. Like I said, this series was never a favorite of mine, but the simple good vs. evil conflicts and the petty, high school drama helped keep me engaged enough to finish these. This novel takes the series in a completely different direction, and what I didn't enjoy the most is the lack of any real conflict. In the past novels, we had a clear-cut, Ever vs. Roman and/or Ever vs. Haven conflict, but that ended in Night Star. Basically, this novel is a lot of reflection and discussion for the first seventy-five pages, a pilgrimage in the middle, and then more reflection and discussion to wrap it up. There wasn't a lot to keep me engaged in what was going on.
While I enjoyed that this ending wasn't just an ending for Ever and Damen but for many immortals as well, it still left something to be desired. Without really giving anything away, the ending kind of wraps the series around to where it began, and it just felt off. Maybe it was just too fairy-tale, everything's-perfect for me. When finishing a series, I like some spark of emotion (I was a basket case after finishing His Dark Materials), but I felt nothing when this ended.
If you've read all five books leading up to this, you obviously have to see how it ends. That's really the only reason I finished this; I just wanted to see what actually happens. Just don't expect too much out of it.
Oh, and can I say Alyson Noel writes the most awkward sex scenes ever? For the love of God.

Finally finished 6/6 of this series. My younger self's ridiculous aspiration is fulfilled and I am glad I never have to drag myself through this series of plot holes and unstable writing again. Maybe good time filling teen fiction, but nothing more in my eyes.
