Synopsis:

Vivi is struggling with grief–and guilt–over the loss of her sister. Eva is hiding the start of a horrifying transformation.

This graphic novel addition to an enduring genre is thoughtful and emotion-driven, but also full of zombie scares and action.

Personal Thoughts:

Rating: ⭐⭐ (2.75)

I received an Advanced Reader’s Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review via NetGalley.

Ever After is a story about two girls, Vivi and Eva, who travel from different cities to survive an on-going apocalypse. To be honest, I requested for an advanced reader’s copy of this book via NetGalley as the synopsis sounded like such a great concept and I also absolutely love zombie stories, but I guess it just didn’t work for me.

During the start of the novel, we were thrown into the middle of an outbreak where everyone wanted to survive. I think I would have been more invested if there were more explanation as to what caused the apocalypse given that there were almost 300 pages. The world-building was just lacking in the story for me. I also did not connect with the characters, that’s why it actually took me more time to finish this. I mean, half the time, I didn’t even know what was happening and it was hard for me to follow.

On the other hand, I loved the art style of this graphic novel, the colors were really vibrant and the spreads were just amazing.
