Summary From Goodreads:

 

The New York Times bestselling series!

Jules Ember confronts the girl who is both her oldest friend and greatest enemy in the highly anticipated sequel to Everless, praised by New York Times bestelling author Stephanie Garber as “an intoxicating blend of blood, secrets, and haunting mythology.”

Jules Ember was raised hearing legends of the ancient magic of the wicked Alchemist and the good Sorceress. But she has just learned the truth: She is the Alchemist, and Caro—a woman who single-handedly murdered the Queen and Jules’s first love, Roan, in cold blood—is the Sorceress.

The whole kingdom believes that Jules is responsible for the murders, and a hefty bounty has been placed on her head. And Caro is intent on destroying Jules, who stole her heart twelve lifetimes ago. Now Jules must piece together the stories of her past lives to save the person who has captured her heart in this one.

Perfect for fans of Victoria Aveyard, Kiera Cass, and Kendare Blake, Evermore is the high-stakes, star-crossed follow up to the New York Times bestselling Everless that fans have been waiting for.

My Review:

Is there going to be a third book? I feel like it ended pretty solidly, but at the same time, it's left a few things open for another book.

I thought the whole premise of this series was pretty interesting, and I loved that whole enemies to lovers element in the first book.

The second book in the series focuses more on Jules growing as a character and learning how to handle the power that she has, and more of the history/background of her and Caro. 

In my opinion, this was a lot slower going, and it took a lot longer for things to happen. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I like when things are happening a little bit faster, because it keeps my attention longer.
