Into the Hourglass

The Evermore Chronicles, Book 2

By: Emily R. King

Narrated by: Lauren Ezzo

In the second book in The Evermore Chronicles by Emily R. King, Everley Donovan plunges into the roiling waves of a strange new world to hunt a wicked prince who cheated time.

Everley Donovan’s mission: retrieve the hallowed sword of Avelyn stolen by the wicked Prince Killian, who slayed her family and left her for dead. Should she fail, the seven worlds will come to an end, as could time itself. And no one treasures time more than Everley, whose lifesaving clock heart cannot beat forever. She has set sail with a rogue crew for the otherworlds, where the key to dethroning the prince lies deep within the Land Under the Wave.

But passage through these unknown seas - where horrors lurk and pirates rove - proves a treacherous gamble. The Land Under the Wave was not made for humans, particularly one with a fragile clock heart. Here, Everley’s tragic past resurfaces unsolved questions. Here, too, the prince has hidden secrets more precious than pearls, secrets that could fracture the future forevermore. Everley must take back her sword and break free from this watery world before her time runs out…or so will everyone else’s.

Shaping up to be a good series

It took awhile to get into this series. I will never understand why authors keep making their main character so unlikable. Evie has a great back story and a lot of her personality is understandable to a degree, and possibly it's a vehicle for other things in the story but I don't think it's needed.
There's a great love story, exciting adventure, and a really decent plot, but I had to get past her being such a b*tch to get to it.
One thing I found really weird is that it's fantasy with fantasy characters and settings but there is a a scene in one setting (I won't spoil it for you) but it almost ruined the whole story. I don't know why but I found it more absurd than the thought of 7 worlds that work together but seperate.
Still its good enough to move on to the 3rd book.
Lauren Ezzo does a great job telling the story with tons of emotion and good voices

enjoyed it

enjoyed the narration very much. it was read with all the emotions and excitement of the book.

very good!

Lauren Ezzo makes this story comes alive. And I enjoyed the story. I'm so want to read next book in this series.

Engrossing

This captured my attention from beginning to end. The reading of this book was astounding. I was sad when it ended but cannot wait to start the next book in the series.

her voice changes volume too much, it is distracti

The constant sudden changes in volume a d pitch of voice is distracting. It is difficult to focus on the storyline, when I have to constantly turn up and down my speaker volume!
