Review:
The Immortals series has been hit-and-miss for me, so I didn't have super high expectations going into Everlasting. I was excited to find out how Ever and Damen's story ended, and was hoping for a nicely-tied-up happily ever after. And I'm happy to say that my hopes were fully met!
Everlasting provided a great ending to the Immortals series with lots of closure. I love closure...it really irks me to invest so much time (sometimes years waiting for releases) in a series, only to have the author not give us any closure. *cough*Maggie Steifvater*cough* I really liked how every character was addressed, even the minor ones. I love knowing exactly what happens to everyone.
While I still believe that books 3-5 in the series could and should have been condensed into one book, Everlasting did not feel lacking as far as the plot goes, like Shadowland and Night Star felt to me. I loved going back into the past, seeing Ever and Damen in a new light. It took 100 pages for me to really get into the book, but once I did, I couldn't put it down.
One of my favorite elements to books is character growth, and there was plenty of that here. In fact, just about every character in the series as a whole grew some during Everlasting. That really made the book special for me. Overall, I would recommend The Immortals series as a whole. Four out of the six books were three stars or greater for me, and I like Noel's unique premise and writing style.
