I loved both Ella Enchanted and Fairest, so I was a little disappointed that Ever did not catch my interest quickly. The two main characters are Kezi, a young mortal girl, and Olus, a young god, and they tell the story in alternating chapters.
Kezi's mother becomes ill, and when she recovers the family believes they must sacrifice Kezi's life as repayment of an oath her father made when trying to save his wife. Also, Kezi and Olus fall in love, so Olus tries to find a way to spare Kezi's life.
Levine raises important questions regarding religion and fate here, but she deals with them with a soft touch and provides no definitive answers. Lots to think about here, then, which is always good, but I belive the story could have been more compelling.
