Wow. The Eternal Ones has protagonist Haven running all over the place— from stalkers, fires, home… Girl must’ve been a runner in her past life, sheesh! I felt exhausted after reading this book!
The Eternal Ones is one of the Penguin Five— a group of books hyped up to be the best of the year from Penguin. I’m not sure I felt that The Eternal Ones was amazing enough to warrant that kind of publicity, but I did enjoy it quite a bit. The story definitely keeps you on your toes. The plot twists this way and that— first you think one thing, then you change your mind, then you’re back to where you were in the beginning… I will admit that towards the end the perpetrator wasn’t too terribly difficult to figure out (Haven, don’t go with him! Gah! Idiot!), but I’m glad it took at least that long. Also, the little italicized insights to Haven’s past life were really cool. I loved how Kristen Miller gave us little snippets just when they were crucial to the plot, and kept us guessing as to the real story. Because I have to be negative, I will point out that I didn’t really like Iain or Beau’s characters. They seemed a bit underdeveloped to me, especially Beau. He was not skeptical in the least of Haven’s stories, and was kind of her bitch for most of the story. Is this a sign of true friendship or a plot device for easy information? You decide. Overall, I really enjoyed The Eternal Ones. Yeah, the whole reincarnation thing got a bit cheesy at times, but I think Kristen Miller really pulled it off. And in one volume! Nowadays, that’s a rarity. I want to thank my sister for recommending The Eternal Ones to me. You have always known what exactly attracts me in literature, darling! Now, it’s my turn to recommend this book to you, my faithful followers. I promise, you won’t be disappointed. I’m waiting for you to share your ideas on it in the comments below. Today I’m starting to read Eve by Anna Carey. All I can say for now is that iIt looks really promising. Can’t wait to check it out and to share my thoughts in the next post.
