Everafter is... interesting

I think I picked this up ultimately because I may or may not have seen my 14-year-old sister reading it and thought "Okay, yes, I'll give it a try and then if we agree maybe she'll come to me for more book recommendations and thus will begin a lifetime connection of literary exchanges and shared passion..."

But anyway.

It had some interesting insights when it provided possible explanations for the omnipresence of spirits, the spooky sensation of feeling watched, and a land of limbo. Pretty good job with character development for the short space, though I personally would have liked more.

The ending was a bit anticlimactic. And many of the scenes were mostly interesting to me because I kept thinking, "ooh, I hope Huntley wraps up the significance of that scene." But most of the scenes didn't have that tangible sort of "ah" moment where it all comes together.

Still, no shame in recommending for juvenile avids.
