Awesome cover of the first Everdoor novel |
It’s been said that everything’s been done before—that there
is no new terrain to be explored within the arts; author Chauncy Felisz’s
brilliant Everdoor: The Paradise-Purgatory says otherwise.
An inventive adventure of truly epic proportions, the pages
of this first entry in the Everdoor canon are rife with unforgettable moments,
vividly visual descriptions and depictions of fantastical people and places,
and unique characters that drive the action forward with distinctly
entertaining personalities. Dual protagonists Etcher Everdoor and Jerro Ahliss
serve as perfect foils for one another, embodying traits that are conflicting
and complementary in equal measure.
The magical realm of Eclipse feels like a character unto
itself—richly crafted with Felisz’s inimitable array of adjectives that truly
bring it to life. From the delectable taste and aroma of moon buns to the
dazzling display of dancers parading through the lunar-lit streets, Gahza’Dune
is one of the many Ecliptian locations we have the pleasure of glimpsing as our
beloved heroes work towards unraveling the central mystery of the novel, while
also simultaneously generating many more.
Despite its surfeit of foreign names and terminology,
Everdoor never confounds the reader with its array of languages. Instead, these
serve to create a formidable backbone that further renders the realm as
realistic—believable in spite of the many magical miracles that inhabit both
Blank-Space and beyond.
Simply put, this is an incredible page turner and a series
that I am utterly hooked on. I just put down book one upon reaching its
conclusion and cannot wait to continue the adventure in part two of the saga!
