  • Erin C. (Clawson, MI)
    Average writing and a protagonist eternally lacking depth.
    If you and your lover were cursed to never be able to die, how would you spend your eternity? Hopefully more wisely and reflectively than the narrator, Rachel. After living thousands of years, loving a procession of husbands and raising dozens of families, she is still obnoxiously as immature as the 18 year old who made the life for death bargain in the first place. She is forever gasping in surprise, and having the world fall out from beneath her feet at every revelation. This is a quick read, fortunately, and does have a few redeeming ideas, and characters with slightly more depth. If you are a fan of Dara Horn, I imagine you might enjoy this book, but if you are looking for something more literary, look elsewhere.
