Quickie Review: Neverfall by Brodi Ashton

A thrilling new novella from the author of the Everneath series!

Jack is trapped for eternity in the Tunnels while Nikki has managed to evade Cole's grasp . . . for now. But Cole is more desperate than ever to find answers about Nikki, his best chance for taking over the throne of the underworld. How did she survive the Feed? Can Cole find another Forfeit like her who can survive it too?

Cole's quest leads him to the other side of the world, to a mysterious, dangerous society known as the Delphinians, whose price for information might be higher than Cole can pay—a price that could destroy Nikki. But when Cole attempts to steal the answers instead, his mission ends in disaster. Faced with centuries in a Delphinian dungeon, Cole is confronted with questions he's been too scared to ask himself: Is he really obsessed with the throne—or is he obsessed with Nikki? And can she really give him a new beginning as the Everneath's king . . . or will she instead bring about his tragic end?


The summary is a spoiler from the first book, Everneath. Highlight to read it!


Review:

I was excited about reading this, but I didn't read what I exepected. I always thought that Cole was awesome, and the story in Neverfall was awesome, but the writing didn't do anything for me. I know a lot of authors are trying to write from a guy's POV. But some can't do it, and this one didn't come off as a guy POV very well. But it wasn't horrible either, it was just in the middle.

But the plot was awesome! I would have never guessed the ending, or anything in between. Cole's goals are amazing, even though he fails to see the failure in them.

As always, I'm always Team Cole, and always will be. Even though Jack is awesome.

Rating:

4 stars!
