Every Never After by Lesley Livingston
3.0
I feel very torn about my enjoyment of this book, just as I did about the first installment of this trilogy.
The writing comes off a tad too wordy and pretentious, while amusing, I find it hard to get through the first few pages until I adjust. The story is interesting, the characters are more compelling than they are obnoxious --- but they are still very obnoxious, just take one look at their names. Allie McAllister and Clarinet Reid, no one has parents with such cringeworthy senses of humour.
I just don't know quite where I stand.
I love the concept of time travel, and I especially love the Roman era and Briton rebellion, but I don't think a lot of the past was shown in this book, probably because it was a really short read.
The ending was super disappointing, but not in a bad way. It's a definite cliffhanger and I have to read the final part of the trilogy, maybe by then I will have decided how I feel about it.
Happy reading!
