AdiaSomi's Book Journey

I don’t know that I’ve ever before encountered a work of fantasy that is so beautifully sad, with feelings portrayed so realistically as they are in Eventide.

This story is told in dual POV, and both Relic and Lessi’s distinct views held a relatability that just rang true. The broken and afraid are called to believe in someone greater, to hope when all seems dark.

In many ways I felt the story even challenged me as a reader to do much of the same. I felt pulled into their world which in many ways was heavy but was never without light. I felt torn between not daring to hope for a happily ever after, and yet not fully wanting to give in to the acceptance of tragedy.

The sorrow of these two on a doomed mission beyond themselves was contrasted by one of the sweetest romances ever. I loved that this story is a different kind of romance. Not quite the same dramatic tension as is often seen but more a strong steady love fighting against circumstances.

As much as I wanted to read Eventide I was in a way hesitant to face whatever the end would bring. It’s worth it.
