Everley Donovan’s mission: retrieve the hallowed sword of Avelyn stolen by the wicked Prince Killian, who slayed her family and left her for dead. Should she fail, the seven worlds will come to an end, as could time itself. And no one treasures time more than Everley, whose lifesaving clock heart cannot beat forever. She has set sail with a rogue crew for the otherworlds, where the key to dethroning the prince lies deep within the Land Under the Wave.

But passage through these unknown seas—where horrors lurk and pirates rove—proves a treacherous gamble. The Land Under the Wave was not made for humans, particularly one with a fragile clock heart. Here, Everley’s tragic past resurfaces unsolved questions. Here, too, the prince has hidden secrets more precious than pearls, secrets that could fracture the future forevermore. Everley must take back her sword and break free from this watery world before her time runs out…or so will everyone else’s.

I received a free copy from the publisher and Netgalley. (Thank you!)

All opinions are my own.

This is the second installment in The Evermore Chronicles by Emily R. King, and it continues the adventure we first began in Before The Broken Star.

Everly, our beloved spicy heroine with the clockwork heart is still hellbent on defeating our villain, although while her intention may have been personal in the beginning, she has learned there’s far more at stake now should she fail.

This book has Everly taking us through quite an adventure: we sail with her ragtag crew toward a treacherous place called The Land Under The Wave.

This book had my nerd brain in heaven. There were twists and turns, DANGER!, mermaids, a sea witch, pirates, elves, fairies, time-hopping because, oh yeah I forgot to mention, she’s on a mission from FATHER TIME.

All of this combined with her trusty-ahem-loyal, (cough theyweremeanttobetogether cough) sidekick made for another solid enjoyable read.

Again, it wasn’t one I couldn’t put down. But there wasn’t anything I disliked about it and it kept me entertained. So I give those ones 3.5 stars.
