Director's Review- The Eternal Ones by Kirsten Miller

This has been on my To-Read list since it was published, and while it definitely wasn't the worst book I've ever read, it didn't really live up to my expectations. The premise of reincarnation piqued my curiosity, but as with many YA books now, the insta-love between Haven and Iain annoyed me from the get-go. Yes, they've known each other in hundreds of past lives, but I felt that was too predictable. Plus, I thought Iain was slimy at times. Haven was far too trusting of him immediately, though she caught him lying to her several times and gave her plenty of reasons to doubt him, in my opinion. However, about halfway through, I felt the story really picked up and the focus wasn't solely on Haven and Iain's relationship. I did enjoy the story of the Ouroboros Society and the flashbacks Haven had of Constance and Ethan. Overall, I felt the idea of the story was great, but the execution was somewhat lacking.

"The Eternal Ones" is available through the State of Kansas audiobook library, OneClickDigital.
