Ever


Written by the author of Ella Enchanted and Fairest, Ever is another amazing book, featuring Olus and Kezi. Olus is the god of the winds, son of Hannu and Arduk, Akkan goddess of the earth and of poetry and god of agriculture. Puru says his fate: "Olus... will... have... no happiness until he gains what he cannot keep."

And so the fateful story of Olus and Kezi begin. Olus is a god. Kezi is a mortal. Fate binds them together, and then apart. Can they change fate and mortality to fit what needs fixing and bring happiness to each of their lives? In order to bring happiness to both of them, they need to do the impossible. Change fate. Will they be able to do that?

Gail Carson Levine weaves another beautiful tale of romance and adventure that everyone can enjoy. Beautifully written, it tells a story of an average girl living a normal life with a god who falls in love. It's a tale of happiness fortune, misfortune, luck, and testing. Olus and Kezi are tested in every single way- through family, through will, and through strength of bonds. When a god and a mortal fall in love, what is the world supposed to do? What is society supposed to do? How far will they go to stay together?

Ever is an amazing book that I recommend to everyone from children to adults. It's an amazing book, and if you give it a try, I guarantee you will love it!

*** I give this book a 8.5 out of 10! ***
