 Thank you Berkley Romance for the gifted copy! #Berkley #BerkleyPartner

LJ Andrews completely swept me away with The Ever King. From the very first page, I was pulled into the Ever world—full of high seas, fae magic, and political intrigue. The author’s world-building was phenomenal, painting vivid scenes that felt cinematic and immersive.

The dynamic between Erik and Livia was a standout. Their enemies-to-partners arc was emotionally rich and believable, and their journey to heal the lands plagued by a mysterious sickness kept me turning pages late into the night. Andrews navigated their tension and growth with finesse, and I genuinely didn’t want to leave their side.

And that ending? Wow. What a cliffhanger. I audibly gasped and now I’m counting the days until the next installment.

All thoughts expressed in this review are my own.

I have whiplash. The plot had no rhythm and the characters didn’t make sense. I love a good enemies to lovers romance, but they went back and forth between the two almost every chapter. Exhausting.

I found the characters hard to relate to in this one. The story was good but it was difficult for me to get invested in it.
