Imagine your heart is breaking from loss, heartache, and sadness. If someone said to you they could take the pain away forever, but you would never get to return to who you are and would forget your life, would you let them do it? This is the scenario that confronts Nikki in Everneath. She is taken away to the underworld, but returns for a limited amount of time to try to right wrongs.
The plot of the story is loosely based on two different myths: 1. Persephone and 2. Orpheus and Eurydice. The book starts off rather slow and confusing, but picks up pace within a few chapters. The story also begins to piece together and make sense. Within the chapters, time will jump between past and present, but each jump is clearly stated and is not hard to follow. What I like most about these jumps is you learn about Nikki's past while she remembers her life. The feel of the book is a cope with loss, learn to love type. There isn't really any high energy points.
Nikki was a difficult character to relate to. This is only because, due to circumstances in the book, she has almost no emotion and I am a very emotional person. I just saw this hollowed out shell walking along for the first half of the book, but this is part of the story. However, the second half of the book, I connected with her a lot better. She began to seem more human to me.
One main reason Nikki returns is to find her boyfriend, Jack. Jack has a lot of pent up anger toward Nikki for leaving, but still cares for her. Jack is sweet natured with a bit of a stubborn attitude, which is probably why I liked him so much.
The other guy in Nikki's life is Cole, who took her away to the underworld. I have neutral feelings toward Cole's character. I neither like or dislike him. I just felt there wasn't enought there to make a decision.
Overall, I did enjoy Everneath and will continue on with the series.
