** spoiler alert **
β� βΎοΈ stars
i know thereβs already a spoiler warning on the review, but if you havenβt read this book / series yet, i highly suggest not reading this review, because it will have spoilers and quotes <3
souls were healed, hearts were put back together, and happiness was found.*deep breaths*, i feel empty, and yet so full. empty because evajacks are my everything, and now iβve finished their beautiful story. and full because evajacks endgame was everything i needed and more. i cannot express my love for evajacks with words, but i swear if yβall could see my heart right now, youβd see flowers blooming. whoever said magic doesnβt exist, truly hasnβt read evangeline and jacksβ� story. because iβm one hundred percent sure this is exactly what magic feels like. i get goosebumps just thinking about them. i feel everything when iβm thinking about them. am i crying while writing this review rn ? yes
funny side note; i was on a call with my mom, while waiting for this book to come through to my kindle app. and when it came through and i saw the book being there right in front of my eyes, i started cryingit was happy tears ofc.
characters:
evangeline fox / little fox π¦
thereβs a lot of mixed opinions about her. but honestly, iβm so in love with her. sheβs determined, positive, kindhearted, caring, etc. thereβs no denying that i loved her more in this book, than the first two tho. she was more girlboss, stood up for herself, etc. in this book, and i absolutely loved it. iβm so proud of my girl <3 and the way she never gave up on jacks has my heart smiling and cheering istg. evaβs character is the color pink, sheβs such a lovergirl. iβm sure all my fellow hopeless romantics out there relate to her character. all she ever wanted was love, and her happily ever after, with the man whoβd love her forever,the man being jacks makes it so much better, ahh i canβt get over them omfg. if thereβs any character who deserved their hea, itβs evangeline <3 (off topic, but evangeline would actually be the best mom ever. i could just see her reading the fairytales her mother read to her when she was young, as bedtime stories to her own child, while jacks the father obviously is standing in the doorway looking and adoring the two people he loves the most cuddled up in bed, looking all sleepy and happy)
jacks / the prince of hearts πΉ
i mean thereβs a reason heβs called βthe prince of heartsβ�, the reason being that he stole every girl's heart while reading this series. jacks is my precious angel. i love him so much, and he deserves all the love in the world. iβm honestly so happy it was someone like eva who ended up with him ! because eva is just the perfect girl, with the perfect heart for him. she could love him, like no one else could. jacks character is the perfect βvillainβ�(imo), he starts off as this very cold character, who doesnβt care about anything except for himself, and then you get to know him, and you realize how deep his character actually is. heβs sad, broken, misunderstood, etc. and all you want to do after getting to know his character is to hug him till his lungs give out istg, just like evaβs lungs did, lmaoβ� too early ? yeah okay sorry. there could not have been a more perfect man for evangeline, than jacks ! and honestly, the man cries blood, gets shy, rewrote his story because he loved eva so much, etc. how tf am i supposed to not fall for that ? nah i was doomed from the very start.
apollo acadian πΉ
you know i thought apollo was bad before, but he was an actual psychopath in this book. iβm not gonna say much about this piece of shit, because it would take up space from where i could be talking about evajacks, hehee <3 i absolutely hated his guts, heβs just such an annoying, pathetic, selfish, insecure, little man. iβve seen people starting to sympathize with tamlin (from acotar)if youβre one on those people respectfully get a therapist, but if people seriously start pulling something like that with apollo iβll kms. and if anyone start thinking about him as the βmisunderstood villainβ� iβll actually lose my shit istg. okay but can we talk about his ending for a minute ? because i was crying laughing at that, the little fucker got what he deserved ! major spoiler incoming apollo; βYou told me it would take the life of the person I love the most.β� wolfric; βIt is. Itβs taking you.β� stop because iβm actually rolling on the floor rn, plsss that was so deserved !
evajacks brainrot: π
i could talk about these two for days, and never get tired of it. they are so perfect and yet so imperfect, which i think is the beauty of evajacks. itβs unexplainable. everyone should know the story of evajacks. i see them everywhere e. g. whenever i look at an apple, whenever i listen to a love song, whenever i see the color pink, etc. i love them to bits. to say obsessed with them, would be an understatement. i have an evajacks album in my photos and on my pinterest, made an evajacks playlist, etc. itβs safe to say iβll never get enough of them.
this book doesnβt truly deserve that rating, but evajacks are my entire heart, and i couldnβt give their endgame any less than infinity stars <3 the writing was as beautiful as always, and i have no complaints there. but iβm kinda sad we only got 5 of jacksβ� povβs and so many of apolloβs, and i donβt mean that i would want to be without apolloβs povβs, because they were necessary, and entering. itβs just that we got so little from jacks and so much from apollo. the ending ngl we were robbed with that ending, it was way too fast and rushed ! and i wasnβt satisfied with the epilogue at all. after that fast ending, i was expecting an epilogue with them ! the original epilogue shouldβve been the second epilogue and not the first, if you know what i mean. even tho the ending was bittersweet and perfect for a whole new story to begin, it wasnβt enough ! thankfully sab was a lifesaver again, and she sent me two of the alternative ending <3 iβm kinda praying that stephanie writes an evajacks novella tbh, that would save the ending of this book a little. in all conclusion, this book wasnβt perfect, but evajacks is.and like on a whole different topic wtf happened to luc ?
i don't wanna see a single suggestion of a movie / series adaptation about evajacks. you can't bring out this type of love with acting. this story should stay in the books, where it belongs.
moments thatβll forever be imprinted on my soul:
βIt was shortly after this, when Evangelineβs arms were being measured for gloves, that she noticed the scar. It was on the underside of her right wrist, thin and white, shaped like a broken heart.β�
βWhatβs your name?β�
βYou already know, Little Fox.β�
βWhat are you to me?β�
βN΄Η³Ω³σΎ±²Τ²΅.β�
βWhy are you lying?β�
βYes, I am a murderer. I enjoy hurting people. I like blood. I like pain. I am a monster, but whether you remember it or not, Iβm your monster, Evangeline.β�
βPlease, Little Fox, remember.β�
βI lied. I do wish that we could have had a different ending.β�
βBeing yours does not make you mine.β�
βBut Iβd rather go up in flames with him than watch while he burns.β�
βShe would recognize Jacksβs heartβshe knew Jacksβs heart. His heart was wounded like hers, but it was strong, it wouldnβt flinch or shy away from her. It would beast faster, harder, in concert with hers.β�
βIβm broken, I like to break things. Sometimes I want to break you.β�
βThen break me, Jacks.β�
βIt was a kiss like a prayer, quiet, almost pleading, made of tremulous lips and nervous fingers. It felt like reaching out in the dark, hoping to find a light.β�
βDonβt cry, my love.β�
βBut you were dying.β�
βNo. I just forgot how to breathe.β�
�you and me both girl, you and me both
βYou know, Iβve always loved your dimples.β�
βI know. You were so obvious with your love at first sight.β�
βIt was not love at first sight. I only said I liked your dimples at the start. I didnβt even like you. I thought you were terrible.β�
βAnd yet. You kept starring.
βJacks ran across the cavern and punched Apollo in the face.β�
β€�lmao, we finally got what weβve all been asking for
βTell me about the apples.β�
βNext question.β�
βYou said I could ask whatever I wanted.β�
βI didnβt say I would answer. It doesnβt matter. I donβt need them anymore.β�
