The Everlasting

Bookseller recommendation

“Another banger. Alix E Harrow is continuing to maintain her crown as an auto-buy author. Pure perfection. ”

“A big, sad lady knight stuck in a tragic time loop? A historian from the future sent back in time to make sure she plays her part? A story for the (medieval) ages? This novel is unhinged and folkloric and gorgeous, and I will love Alix E. Harrow’s writing until the day I die. ”

“Rich, beautiful and visceral. A love story built on a never-ending cycle of bloodshed. The sacrificial knight and the scholar conscripted to write her story are doomed to endlessly lead each other through the same brutal legend time and time again. An epic tale that is equal parts brutal and devastating. ”

“A delightful adventure turned time bending, and thought provoking fight for freedom. If you want a love story that ignores the romance genre tropes, give this a listen. I loved having the two readers paired with the different characters in the book. Their voices became the characters and simmered in their chemistry. ”

“I haven’t been this moved by a fantasy novel in a very, very long time. Harrow has once again created such an intense and intimate story between these characters that I found myself listening well into the night, desperate to know what happened next. This is surely a book that will stay with me for years to come. ”

“A BEAUTIFULLY spun old-world tale of knights, dragons, evil tyrants, and wiry academic men with glasses that steal your heart. For fans of Brienne of Tarth and all badass, magnificent women. This was so devastatingly romantic. I was moved again and again, clutching my chest every time Una Everlasting met another heartbreaking fate. AND THE YEARNING here is so decadent it made me want to scream. THE DEVOTION OF THESE CHARACTERS MY GOD. Let dominion burn WE FIGHT FOR LOVE. 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I LOVED THIS STORY.”

“Absolutely loved this story, and Moira and Sid really made the characters come to life. If you love a good time travel romance, against all odds, please give this one a try! All I could picture was Brienne of Tarth as Una the lady knight, and it was perfect. ”

“A book about legends that built a nation wrapped in a timeless love story. Harrow does a great job examining the questions - What makes a nation that withstands time, and who are the real villains? Pairing a historian and a knight was a brilliant contrast, showcasing the power of the pen. When legends are used for political agendas, The Everlasting leaves us with the understanding that further examination is necessary. ”

“Any book with a big lady knight romantic interest will capture my attention, but sprinkle in time travel, Arthurian parallels, and fighting the unstoppable beast that is nationalistic propaganda, and I'm hooked. This book is making me realize that my favorite romances include time travel elements (About Time and This is How You Lose the Time War, anyone?) and The Everlasting slots beautifully into this. Alix E. Harrow knocked it out of the park with this, and if you love stories that highlight the power of storytelling, get this book into your brain. ”

“Every time I thought I knew what The Everlasting was about, as I listened to it, I ended up being wrong. But in the best way. Excellent narrators! This book was beautiful from beginning to end. ”
