The Eternals Volume 1 Clover Donovan Books

4/5

This is not the first book I have read by this author, and it will not be the last. When I started this book, I knew it was supposed to be a YA supernatural novel. It delivered on the supernatural part but aside from the characters being teenagers, it did not scream YA to me, and this was a good thing. I think for me, I hear YA and go into whatever the book is with a bit of skepticism. That is just how I am with the genre I guess.

The characters were pretty good. I liked the balance of teenagers and adults because it helped the book feel more balanced when it came to how the book was progressing. I enjoyed learning about each character from Rowan to Ever and the people in their lives. For me, it gave the novel more depth than you would usually see in a typical YA novel and it was a strength of the book as a whole.

Something that I found to be difficult for me was the pacing. There were times it did seem to be rushed at times and there were times where it was slow. Usually I like the difference, but this time I felt that it was one and then the other with no happy medium in between. It did not take away from the story, but I did notice it and want to be completely honest in this review. There was at least one editing thing that I saw but it was so minor that it did not make much difference in the long run. The only other thing for me was that I wanted to learn more about the alternate world that Clover created because it sounded like it would be fun to get lost in it.

Since I like to sandwich my reviews with something good, then something that I would have seen as needing to be tweaked, and then ending with a positive, I want to end this review with a positive. Clover has taken two very difficult genres (YA and Supernatural) and fused them together pretty well. I also liked that the LGBT twist was there but did not dominate the entire book. I enjoyed reading about the world he created and although I would love to learn more about it, I think that may come in the next book in the series, at least I hope it does. I am giving this 4/5 stars and look forward to the next installment.

The Eternals Volume 1 Clover Donovan Books Reviews

This was the easiest book to read. Once I started it, I flew through it, reading half of it in one sitting, and the rest of it in the next one. It's not the type of book that you need to think critically while reading. You just start and go along for the ride.

(Minor Spoiler Alert) I liked this book from the moment he said his parents died from a dragon. That might seem a bit morbid, but at first I thought it was just a tall tale told to make it easier on him. But it wasn't. I laughed so hard. It was said so bluntly, I don't know. I think it was my favorite part of the whole book.

Okay no more spoilers. This book is very fast paced which is part of the reason that it goes so fast I guess. And it tells more than it shows. I wish it didn't do that. I wish it hashed out the situations more, and allowed the reader a second to process the whole world it is set in.

But that is my only criticism. I still enjoyed myself, and I find myself wondering what is going to happen to these characters next.
The Eternals is a middle grade fantasy novel. The story follows thirteen-year old Rowan, the son of two deceased wizards. Rowan lives with his grandfather, a wise old man who calls upon the dead.

The characters in this story felt genuine and they were interesting. Mostly I enjoyed the innocent voice of the narrator. His thoughts were funny and endearing. I also liked the whole concept of Eternals. An Eternal is basically a human person whose blood allows the power of eternal life. The main character is somehow entrusted with the task of protecting the last Eternal from two evil villains, and the story sets off.

I wasn't expecting to have such a large supply of fantastical creatures, but they certainly were a pleasant surprise. There weren't only wizards in this story. Oh no, there were so many cool creatures that kept popping up. It helped to move the plot forward very quickly, and always left me guessing for what was to come next. The surprises kept coming.

Among this cast of creatures were Zombies! (Or zolas. I think they're a bit sensitive about this subject), faeries! (Those things can bite!), and your typical evil snowmen.

There were many heartfelt moments throughout the story, and I really felt for the characters. It was refreshing reading about younger characters after so many adult and young adult novels.

I had fun reading this story. It kept my interest throughout. If you like fantasy, quirky characters, and a whole lot of interesting creatures, then pick this up.
