Ballad of Never After Review
When I say I loved this book I don’t mean just any type of love. I mean a deep, all consuming love where I can think of nothing except this book!
I’m only going to give a very small synopsis. I went into this book not reading anything about what was going to happen. IN the synopsis the one phrase that really stands out is, “Not every love is meant to be.” That really sets up the vibe for what’s to come. Jacks has betrayed Evangeline, and she has discovered her magic. Evangeline is out to restore her own chance at a happily ever after.
While I did like Evangeline in the first book I didn’t love love her. However, that all changed in this book. She is so much stronger, her personality so more fierce and compelling. She’s full of fire, and warmth! She’s someone I can relate to and root for!
Jacks is hot. I don’t even know how else to put that! I loved in in Caraval, I loved him in Once Upon a Broken Heart. I became obsessed with him in Ballad!
Every character is become so much more alive, and full of depth, and interesting traits. This book really brought out the magic, and lore of this world. There wasn’t a moment where I couldn’t vividly picture everything. I was sucked in 100%.
This book is full of twists that you will not see coming. It will have you laughing, screaming, and holding your breath because things get steamy! It’s still YA appropriate, but it has some good steam.
The writing is superb. It’s lyrical, magic, fast paced, and simply perfection. I believe Stephanie Garber is securely a Fate!
I saw some reviews that were not fond of the first book. I would say please, just give this one a chance because it is well worth it. It grows beyond the typical ya book to something the is unique, whimsical, and heart destroying in the best possible way.
