I would probably give this book 3.5 stars. Maybe.
There were parts of this book that I really enjoyed and other parts that bugged me. I liked getting a better look at Summerland a lot. I thought the Temple of Great Learning (or whatever it's called-the name wasn't the best) was pretty neat. I enjoyed the scenes that took place there the most. I finally got to learn a little about Damen and Damen and Ever's past lives, which I was hoping would be shown in this book. However, I stress 'a little' because Damen's story was cut off right in the middle in the stupidest way.
Ever can be so annoying at times. I mean, I know all characters should have flaws in order to round them out but the two main flaws that Ever apparently has are her impulsiveness and her naivete, which are just about the worst two flaws she could possibly have for the situations she finds herself in. I still like her for the most part, at least. She comes across as a very real teenager. But the problem is, that after everything she's been through and is still going through, you'd think she'd have matured a bit and would start acting smarter. However, she continues to be a normal 16-year-old who obsesses over very meaningless and superficial things (like the very slim possibility of her teacher dating her aunt. I mean, come on Ever, you have far more important things to worry about!).
The ending was so awful. But I don't mean awful as in stupid and poorly done but awful for the characters. I'm worried about how this new development will affect the spark in Ever and Damon's relationship because I never really felt much between them as it was.
