Everlasting (The Immortals 6) by Alyson Noel

Everlasting by Alyson Noel ☆☆☆☆

The finale is here.

I'm glad this series is over. The first and second books were amazing and un-put-down-able, the third and fourth were filler I trudged through, and the fifth and sixth finally started wrapping everything up nicely.

For me, the ending was completely unexpected. There were so many plots and side plots within this series that I was never entirely sure were it might go or end up. And where it did end up was interesting and uniquely Ever.

Ever and Damen's romance is definitely an eternal love fit for any YA fiction series. The fact that they were immortals and not an expected supernatural being like vampires was its own original twist. And I have to say that I learned a lot from this series. I learned there are different mystical properties to stones. I learned how to center myself (whether it works or not I'm still unsure). And I learned to trust myself.

In this book specifically it becomes really apparent how this series stemmed from her own personal loss and her attempts at accepting it and moving on. The journey and experiences that Ever deal with in the final installment mirror the lesson that Alyson Noel learned in her own journey. While I would have preferred it be a less obvious moral it did work for the purposes of the series.

I recently heard it was in the process of selling movie rights. I would like to see how this series would be interpreted as a movie and I'd probably be one of the first in line to see it.
