From the Publisher

Review: Ever: was One of the best stories I have read this year! - I just finished Ever last night it only took me two days as I couldn't put the book down I had to see what happened next. The culture described was good I felt like I was part of it Gail Carson Levine is good at that. The names of the characters were a bit tricky apart from Olus and Kezi names. Ever is about Olus the seventeen year old God of the Wind an Akkan god. He is the youngest god and finds more joy in watching and interacting with the mortals. Kezi is a mortal girl from Hyte. Kezi and Olus eventually meet when it is too late for Kezi. She is to be sacrificed I won't spoil how or why she is to die. Olus loves her and Kezi loves him. Kezi battles to stay live to be with Olus and to find her god if he exsists as she is loosing faith that he does. Through tasks both together and apart through battling there fears they will fight to be together. It was a good story there was vivid imagery. I loved the fast pace and what Olus and Kezi went through. The ending was perfect. I have read Ella Enchanted and Fairest and now Ever by Gail Carson Levine and I will read others. It was a good novel I recommend it. It is good for all ages.
Review: I like fairy tales with a twist - I am not quite as fond of this book as other Carson-Levine books but I am still going to give it a 5 stars for originality. I like fairy tales with a twist. Fairy tales from India (at least what gets to this country) generally involve being caught by tigers etc. This one lets you enjoy a culture where multiple god stories are in play and the two main characters are endearing. I like tales with a twist that show the good and bad in the good-guys and the bad -guys and that have strong (or at least normal, non-whimpy) heroines. This author does a nice job of this. Ella is still my favorite - didn't care for the movie but the book is a nice read, Fairest has a lot of great messages for pre-teens (especially considering how more and more irrationally image conscious our young girls are becoming). If you like this book, you may also like "Museum of Thieves." Keep writing more please!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good retelling of Eros & Psyche
*by T***R on November 24, 2008*

Ever seems to be a retelling of the famous 'Eros and Psyche' (or Cupid and Psyche) myth. 'Eros and Psyche' was always my favorite myth and yet I was never truly happy with the ending. I thought that the whole point of the story was that Psyche betrayed him and so she had to go through the quest to redeem and prove herself worthy of being a goddess. But she yet again proves herself a weak person by opening Persephone's box and has to be saved by Eros. What I liked about Ever is that it took the 'Eros and Psyche' myth and took out all the parts I didn't like about it. There were no malicious/jealous/nosy sisters, no betrayal of trust, and no need for the helpless heroine to be saved by the hero; in fact, it is the heroine, Kezi, who saves the life of Olus (a god), proving that she is indeed worthy of being an immortal. Sure there were some aspect of the book that I didn't particularly like (I honestly don't get why the heroine is so obsessed with dancing . . . it didn't seem like it contributed anything to the narrative), but those, to me, are relatively minor so all in all, I'm pretty happy with this book. I'm grateful that someone has finally re-written the 'Eros and Psyche' myth and given the heroine some backbone! :)
