Jules is possibly the worst “secretive” character as she constantly defies common sense and finds herself in situations that could have been avoided had some logical thought been employed. This purpose quickly falls flat which does not bode well for strong MCs. It was obvious that Jules’s purpose from early on was to save her father who was slowly running out of time by returning to the Everless manor, which they were forced to flee many years before. While not unique, I do, believe there was the potential to explore this separation of power a bit more to add some much-needed tension. The rich live forever and, the poor are forced to skim hours and days off their life to afford necessities. The characters should weasle their way into my hearts without meeven knowing so at the end they aren’t just characters in a book but they become something more, something real.Įverless fell just short of this for me because even though the depiction of time as a currency was interesting enough, the novel’s execution left much to be desired, especially the main characters. Personally, a good YA should captivate me from the beginning with its unique plotline and its ability to keep me on my toes and constantly guessing. In the ever-evolving world of YA books- Everless was a “Good not great” for me.
