Ever
By Gail Carson Levine
Image of Ever

Olus has a problem - he wants to live a normal life and grow up to be a normal person. The problem is he’s a god. In fact he’s the Akkan god of the wind. Olus decides as a young man to leave for earth and live among the humans. He works as a farmer raising goats on land, while farming he enjoys watching the lives of the family whose land he is living on. He is especially curious about Kezi, the daughter of the family and a skillful weaver. One day Kezi’s mother falls ill so Kezi’s father makes a deal with Admat, their god, for his wife’s life. The price however is Kezi’s life as sacrifice. Kezi is willing to make the sacrifice for her mother, but Olus is appalled he realizes he feels an attraction towards Kezi and saves her from her fatal fate. Kezi is distraught that her mother will die and Olus decides to that he’ll help Kezi become immortal. The two are tested beyond their wildest dreams by testing their endurance, strength, knowledge, and ultimately their love in pursuit of immortality. If you enjoy a beautifully crafted, book of love filled with action the Ever by Gail Carson Levine is the book for you.Review by Alexandra Mobeka
