The Ballad of Never After by Stephanie Garber

4.75

A whole 4.9.
It was... crazy. Jacks made up for all being missing in the first book.

Evangeline dying at the end and Jacks screaming made me shudder. I started to hate Apollo in just a single chapter. And what happened to Jacks? Will he survive? He will of course but stil...
I just felt betrayed when Jacks said he wanted another chance with Tella. But him losing the chance to save Evangeline was just swoon-worthy (Though I knew he didn't exactly 'love' Tella).

 
Jacks's behaviour made it really hard to know if he loved Evangeline or was just playing with her. But in the end... just wow.

I loved jacks under the influence of the mirth stone. I loved Jacks when he shouted at evangeline saying she would die if she didn't leave (probably because of the truth stone).

So basically I loved all the moments where Jacks's control cracked.
I feel so heartbroken for Jacks

, the archer. To know that he overcame the archer's curse but then lost his first fox in a kiss is just plain cruel.

I want to know the whole story about Jacks past. Each excruciating detail.
I loved the book so much.
