Never Ever After is a magnificent Sunday Times bestseller!

IN THIS FAIRYTALE, MONSTERS WEAR CROWNS . . .

Never Ever After is a powerful and fierce reimagining of Cinderella, a breathtaking new fantasy romance influenced by Chinese fairytales from the acclaimed Sunday Times bestselling author of Daughter of the Moon Goddess.

Life in the Iron Mountains is harsh and unforgiving. After the death of her beloved uncle, Yining has only survived as a skilled thief and an even better liar. But when she acquires an enchanted ring that holds the key to a brighter future, it is stolen by her step-aunt, and Yining must venture into the imperial heart of the kingdom to seize it back.

Amid the grandeur of the palace, Yining catches the eye of the ruthless and ambitious prince, who tempts her with a world she's never imagined. But nothing is as it seems, and soon she is trapped in a tangle of power, treachery, and greed - her only ally a cunning advisor from a rival court who keeps dangerous secrets of his own.

To break free, Yining must embark on a perilous quest to fight for a future that both frightens and calls to her, and choose who to trust when allies can be as deadly as enemies.

Kritikerstimmen

Never Ever After glitters, as bright and alluring as starfire and as deadly as the kingdom's iron. I absolutely adored it and cannot wait for the sequel!
Rich and layered and deliciously transportive, just like all my favorite fantasy books
Tan has crafted a jewel of a fairy-tale retelling and each prism is lustrous with sinister wonder.
A lush and effervescent, masterfully crafted fantasy
Intricately woven with folklore and political intrigue, Never Ever After isn't your typical fairytale and that's very much a good thing!

The story, like many of the author’s other works, is beautifully written. She has a real talent for words and knows how to build rich, immersive worlds. Her descriptions of life at the royal court are detailed and elegant, and you can tell she puts great care into every scene.
However, I can only give this book three stars. The main character felt plain, naïve, and superficial. I really tried to connect with her and gave the story plenty of time, but she remained unlikable and lacking in depth. Despite the lush setting, there’s simply not enough happening, too much focus on clothing, jewelry, and luxury, and too little plot or emotional development.
While the writing itself is lovely, the pacing felt slow and the lack of real action made it hard to stay engaged. A well-written book, but unfortunately not one that truly captivated me.

Well written story that lacks interesting characters
