The Everlasting

by Alix E. Harrow


🌿 The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow – Audiobook & Book Review 🌿

Some stories you read, and others completely consume you, The Everlasting is absolutely the latter. From the first chapter, its looping, dreamlike rhythm pulled me in until I felt like I was watching The NeverEnding Story unfold before me.

🎧 Audiobook Magic:
The narration was pure enchantment. The voice work flowed so smoothly that it felt like the story was being whispered straight into my imagination. The narrator didn’t just read the book, they breathed life into it, making every scene shimmer with emotion and wonder. I rarely listen to an audiobook without reading along, but this one made the experience feel twice as rich. It was worth every minute.

At the heart of this tale are Una Everlasting and Owen Mallory, written with such aching tenderness that their love feels almost too intimate to witness, like discovering a box of letters never meant to be read. But this isn’t just a romance. Harrow explores mythmaking, empire, and the stories that shape civilizations, crafting a narrative that’s both epic in scope and heartbreakingly personal.

The second-person POV took a moment to adjust to, but it ultimately made the experience even more immersive, drawing me into the story’s haunting cycle of love, loss, and return.

The ending left me wrecked, in the best possible way. It was devastatingly perfect, and when it was over, I didn’t want more story; I just wanted to hold onto it.

Final Thoughts:
This is one of those rare books I’ll revisit again and again, both on page and in audio. Truly, The Everlasting has earned its place among my all-time top three reads.
