Not to hate on the author, but I don't think Eliot Schrefer is the strongest writer on this team, so I don't think he should have been chosen to start this new arc. That's why I feel pretty bad for not enjoying this one. I was iffy about starting this new arc of the series, but I decided to try it anyway because I was invested in the characters and wanted to see where their stories went. But all in all I liked this book and after the cliffhanger on both teams, I can't wait to read the sequel plus the author is Victoria Schwab, who wrote The Archived, Vicious and A Darker Shade of Magic, I can't wait more of the adventures of the four heroes. Some chapters are too long while the others are short (that made me believe that it is short and I ended in reading the whole book in a few hours). The pacing is the book is good, especially on Meilin and Connor. I really liked Meilin and Connor's adventure more than Abeke and Rollan's (in fact I didn't find theirs enjoyable).

The team will split into two, Abeke and Rollan will find the other Fallen Beasts, they will find Tellun, while Meilin and Connor who is infected by the Wyrm and is healed by Jhi is the one tasked to discover why the Evertree is dying together with an unusual ally, Kovo. This book took place after 6 months, if I correctly remembered, the last book had ended. And dying Evertree=something bad will happen to the bond between spirit animals and humans. The second series focuses more about the history, since the enemy is an ancient one an egg that holds the Wyrm cracked when the Evertree died but when it regrew it is still weak and the Wyrm/'worm/parasite' attacked it and causes the Evertree to die.

But I quite liked the first series and it ended WELL.īut since this is popular to the children (like The 39 Clues) another series have sprung together with the Evertree.Ī sequel series is in fact not needed but due to the reason above it went on. Honestly, I only read the series for one reason - Marie Lu is going to write the finale of the first series, The Evertree. Thanks edelweiss for providing an e-ARC of the book.
