The third in The Immortals series recently hit shelves and I was undoubtedly one of the first people to snag it. I have been eagerly awaiting this book since finishing Blue Moon a few months ago. As many of you know, Blue Moon was very well received and its cliffhanger ending left readers dying to know what would happen between Ever, our leading lady and Damen, her eternal love.
Shadowland wastes no time jumping into the thick of the plot. Alyson Noel prompts the reader to think about human nature, immortality, karma and fate. This is not a superficial young adult book, Shadowland will inspire deep thought.
The character development progresses nicely in the third installment. The reader begins to learn more about the motivations behind the actions of the leading characters, learning about their true natures.
The Immortals is a series to watch. The characters have depth and interesting motivations, while the plot brings up age old questions that will leave the reader thinking, long after the last page has turned.
From the authors website:
Ever and Damen have traveled through countless past lives—and fought off the world's darkest enemies—so they could be together forever. But just as their long-awaited destiny is finally within reach, a powerful curse falls upon Damen...one that could destroy everything. Now a single touch of their hands or a soft brush of their lips could mean sudden death—plunging Damen into a bleak afterlife in the Shadowland, an eternal abyss for lost souls. Desperate to break the curse and save Damen, Ever immerses herself in magick—and gets help from an unexpected source...Jude Knight.
Although she and Jude have only just met, he feels startlingly familiar. Despite her fierce loyalty to Damen, Ever is drawn to Jude, a green-eyed golden boy with magical talents and a mysterious past. She's always believed Damen to be her soul mate and one true love—and she still believes it to be true. But as Damen pulls away to save them from the darkness inhabiting his soul, Ever's connection with Jude grows stronger—and tests her love for Damen like never before...
