Everneath
by Brodi Ashton
3.5ish ~ My reading of this book was a little choppy. I started in, then had a couple library books come that took precedence, so I set it aside for a bit. Then I was reading while I also had a hardbound book that would take precedence when I was at home, this getting relegated to times I was out and about (often not the best dedicated reading time). As I came closer to the end, I did get pretty involved in the story and did give it my undivided attention.
Besides my reading being disjointed, the story itself was. Every chapter necessarily started by telling the reader WHEN this portion was happening ... because it would jump from the present to the past constantly. I tend to prefer a consistent flow (I also find jumping between perspectives to break up the continuity) but the time shifts did help explain things while keeping an air of mystery as things were finally explained.
I wasn't totally happy with the ending, although that's what I predicted would happen. I think I'll have to purchase the sequels ... at least they are reasonably priced (I feel that digital editions should be less expensive than hardbound copies).
