"Ever" by Gail Carson Levine

Gail Carson Levine (author of Newbery Honor book "Ella Enchanted" and New York Times bestseller "Fairest") Is preparing to release her newest book "Ever", scheduled to release May 6, 2008. "Ever" tells the story of Kezi and Olus, the starstruck couple from two different worlds. Olus is the god of the winds and of lonliness. When he decides to visit the mortals of Hyte, he falls in love with the beautiful Kezi. But when Kezi is doomed to die in but a month, she and Olus must face their worst nightmares to survive.

While "Ella Enchanted" and "Fairest" are set in the same world, sometimes intertwining, "Ever" is not. It is set in a mythology-type world where there is a god or godess for everything (including cleanliness and laundry). While the story was good to begin with, the characters fall in love a little too quickly for my taste. In "Ella Enchanted" and "Fairest" the heroines fall in love somewhere near the halfway point of the book. A night and a day is all Kezi and Olus seem to need. Even though the book was a decent 256 pages, it felt like a light read.

All in all, an adequate read for people looking for a light, easy read.
