Holland explored how being able to buy and sell time from your life would affect people, and society at large, which I thought was fascinating. I thought this was a shame, as it was the most interesting aspect of Everless for me. In this sequel, the use of time as currency did not play much of a role in the story. I’ve read countless fantasy books where a young woman must stop the evil tyrant, whilst accompanied by sexy dude I didn't need another one. Those who felt so-so about Everless could enjoy this more, as it does indeed read more like regular YA fantasy.
One reviewer pointed out that this book loses the somewhat sci-fi feel of the first book and moves more towards traditional fantasy.
The ending is the strongest part of the book - nicely wrapped-up but with the lingering suggestion that there is more to the story - and yet even that couldn't save it for me. I really wish I could say I enjoyed this as much as Everless.
