The Best One So Far!

This is the most exciting one yet! Christopher and the others land in Erie, an Ireland full of druids, giants and other surprising things. Christopher even finds true love with a druid half elf. There is also a dark side to this all. They learn of Senna's plan for Everworld and are soon wageing war against her and her army of racist gun nuts. This book is also funny and makes you want to keep reading. I couldn't put it down and I read it in one eveing. Then I re-read again because it was so good. If there is one Everworld book you will buy, this shoud be it. The long two mounth wait for this book was well worth it!

Ah, the lack of excellence in young adult books nowadays...

Don't worry about finding excellence in this book. Easily the best EverWorld book to date, most of the strings of chaos in the EverWorld series are tied in the conclusion of this book, but a thousand new ones are created. David, Christopher, April, and Jalil are closer than ever to finding out what's really going on. Things are actually getting better for the confused companions, especially Christopher, who has finally discovered genuine love (or his interpretation of it) for a half-elfin EverWorlder. Even as things are getting better for the companions, things are getting even better for Senna. The evil dreams of hers that no one else has taken seriously are starting to become reality. No one said it better than Keith, the real-worlder, when he shouted, "It's happening!"

What will they do now?

After escaping from Neptune's underwater land of terror, Christopher and the gang find themselves in Eire. Unlike most of Everworld, Eire is ready for technology. They have the telegraph, electric lights, and streetcars. This also makes them a danger to Senna. Senna has been bringing people in from the real world to serve her and help her take over Everworld. Now the battle begins but not everyone will make it to the end of this book. Especially when one of their own betrays them in order to gain love. This book was definitely one of my favorite Everworld books, and in the end we got a surprise, which depending on how you look at it could be good or bad. This book made me want to get the last one even more. So if you like Everworld get this one now.

This was the best

OMG! This was the best book. Christopher, my favorite character, falls in love in the land of Eire. Senna, who of course is the villain, has brought Neo-Nazis from the real world to Everworld. April and Jalil bring in technology. And General Davideus battles. Humorous bits in between. An all together great book. I won't tell the ending because that would spoil it, but let me tell ya, it's a shocker. I can't believe the series is almost over!! K.A. Applegate, if you read this, don't end the series. This is one of the only series that incorporates mythology properly and I love it.

Like a brick in the face... and I mean that in a good way.

Oh, my. I just finished reading this book not more than 10 minutes ago. As a devoted follower of the series I own all the previous books and have read and reread them over and over. I was, of course, anticipating this book, but I was unprepared for the absolute intensity that it hit me with. So much hit the fan, so much was concluded and explained, so much action and emotion that I cursed myself for not being able to read it faster, and find out what happened next. You will scream in frustration. You will be left crying like a little baby, pleading for more; not so much because you want to know what happens next, but because you crave Katherine A. Applegate's written embrace to wrap yourself up in once again, now blindlly trusting her to satisfy.
