THIS is what I mean when I say I need a real romance with truly painful and agonizing yearning from both the hero and heroine! Oh my god. I truly don’t even know how to find the words to properly express how this sheer work of ART made me feel. I’ve been crying on and off since finishing "The Everlasting" by Alix E. Harrow because I’m so overwhelmed with emotions!! If you love a good book, this is it. "Take me however you want. Use me cruelly or kindly, as you like. Command me, if you can.”Give ...

2.75 stars Sadly, I was underwhelmed by The Everlasting :(I struggled to pinpoint exactly what didn’t work for me… because the concept is SO GOOD, the story itself is very good, and Alix E. Harrow's writing is BEAUTIFUL!Ultimately, I just felt a bit bored? This is advertised as a story where we desperately want to rewrite history because a historian falls in love with a knight who dies… but I didn’t feel the love story at all. The romance honestly felt more like the historian idolized and was si...

If I couldn’t have you or heal you or save you—if I couldn’t love you—then I would make all of Dominion love you, forever and ever. Probably my favorite so far of this year's lady knight books, and one of the better time loop stories I've enjoyed in media. Epic and emotional, The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow is a story about love, legends, stories, and sacrifice. If you're looking for great fantasy book reviews, look no further.What worked for me: a strong romance, intriguing mystery, a layerin...

Lady knights (women knights, female knights, not-men knights, however you want to phrase it) are really having a moment, and I’m absolutely here for it (and for us). This lady knight, Una, is experiencing several moments—or rather, the *same* moments, repeatedly, in a relentless time loop that’s sometimes frustrating, sometimes amusing, consistently heartbreaking, and just plain unfair. Her death is supposedly essential for the creation and stability of a nation a thousand years later, but… is i...

DO NOT SPEAK TO ME FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. SERIOUSLY.
I need at least ten business days to recover from reading Alix E. Harrow's *The Everlasting*. This book... this *book*. It's the kind of story that burrows under your skin and takes root in your soul. Harrow's writing is, as always, breathtakingly beautiful, weaving together history, myth, and a touch of magic.
*The Everlasting* isn't just a book; it's an experience. It's a journey through time and memory, a love letter to stories themselve...

Superb. Alix Harrow is a poet, plain and simple. I sigh repeatedly as I read the pages of *The Everlasting*, finding phrases I desperately wish I'd written myself. Harrow's prose just sings. A must-read for anyone looking for beautifully written fantasy.

No, don't be forever doomed to the cycle of violence where you die over and over again in my arms, you're so sexy, aha!Trapped in a time loop with a hot knight weary of her duty? A bespectacled man doomed to tell her tale and follow her to its bitter end?Beneath the yew tree, a knight and a historian meet, but they have no idea they’ve done this all before; the story is already written, and they're doomed to follow it to its bitter end. Spanning the course of a thousand years in a never-ending t...

I've never found an ideal place to list content warnings, but if you're Googling this book looking for a list, hopefully this will pop up!"The Everlasting" by Alix E. Harrow is an adult fantasy novel about a big, sad lady-knight stuck in a time loop, and the anxious historian trying to save her. It's not YA (if you're looking for a YA lady-knight book, try Lex Croucher's Gwen & Art Are Not in Love). It's not sapphic (if you're looking for a sapphic lady knight book, may I recommend Tasha Sur...
