My thoughts
This is an incredibly beautiful story. It's also an incredibly sad story. It is filled with so much. So many lives lived. So many deaths. From so many years. Year after year of loving and dying. And not knowing why. Not remembering what happened to start it all. But when that final answer comes your jaw will drop. It will floor you. Unpend your heart. Break you in a way that you will not see coming.
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is my all time favorite book. It's just that good. This one is my second favorite book. Ever!!!
A boy and a girl. They love each other so deeply. It's an intense kind of love. But they never give themselves to each other in that way that would bind them forever. He can't. She can't. They can't. The unknown is to hard to fathom.
A girl, Evelyn, and a boy, Arden, love each other. They can only live to be almost eighteen years old. Then one kills the other and they are reborn again in another place and time. This continues throughout but is not monotonous in any way shape or form. You turn the pages to find out why. What caused this. Each place they are different but the same. Different names. Different gender. Different in almost every way. Except they almost always fall in love and they always end up dead. Always. It has been thousands of years and still going. Until it's not.
The most frequent place and year in this story is Wales 2022. When you meet the Blythe family. When you meet a young girl who needs a bone marrow transplant. Her older sister is her only match. Will she be able to give her baby sister what she needs most? This is the place and the year that Evelyn finally finds out the truth of why this keeps happening. It's the year she finally get some kind of clouser if you will.. But at what cost?
This was such a good story. It held my attention and kept me turning the pages. I didn't want to put it down. I wanted answers. I wanted their love to prevail. I wanted evil to lose.
Thank you #NetGalley, #StMartinsPress, for this ARC.
About
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue meets This is How You Lose The Time War in this fantastical love story that defies death as two souls reincarnate through the centuries.
They've loved each other in a thousand lifetimes. They've killed each other in every one.
Evelyn can remember all her past lives. She can also remember that in every single one, she’s been murdered before her eighteenth birthday by Arden, a supernatural being linked to her soul. The problem is that she’s quite fond of the life she’s in now, and her little sister needs her in order to stay alive. If Evelyn wants to save her sister, she’ll have to find the centuries-old devil who hunts her through each life before they find her first, figure out why she’s being hunted and finally break their curse, and try not to fall in love . . . again.
