I am finally done with the epic novel that is Nevermore and while I did enjoy the book, I personally felt that there were quite a few things that could have been improved on. For example, I didn't think the novel had to be this thick. I felt that the pacing could have been tighter; the book could have been more condensed, because really, nothing much related to fantasy actually happens in the beginning of the novel. At times, I felt like I was reading an ordinary YA novel rather than a fantasy-YA one. 
 Character-wise, I felt that both leads were pretty well-written, especially Isobel. Clearly, she's not a dumb blonde. I sometimes wondered why she was even hanging out with her boyfriend and friends, because they were so vapid and she actually has a brain, judging from her narrative. I wished Varen's POV was included but who knows? Maybe the sequel would be told from his point of view. 
 The romance was good in this one, well-written, well-established and not too rushed. The ending was something out of the blue, and I liked it. Obviously, a sequel is needed, considering the cliffhanger. I'm definitely interested to see how things pan out. :D Well done!
