A review by martuchi
The Ballad of Never After by Stephanie Garber

medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.75

[…] every girl I’ve ever kissed has died, except for one. And you are not that girl.


That line killed me. 

I can’t put into words what I feel for this book. I am overwhelmed (and a little depressed) and can’t stop crying if I think about this absolutely crazy ending. 

Jacks, my love, I will adore you forever. I desire with my entire heart that you have a happy ending. 

Evangeline, you made questionable decisions throughout the entire book, but I still adore you anyway, too. She is so genuine and feels too real. I love that for her. 

Lala, fuck you. 

Chaos, meh. Nothing to say other than you suck i hope you die. 

Stephanie, you’re a genius (but I hate you). This was by far my favorite book from her. 

It would’ve been a 5-star novel if the “Handsome Stranger” were
Legend, as I thought he was lol


Loved it from beginning to end (though too cliche for its own good, at some times)
