The ARC for this novel was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

In this graphic novel we focus on a post-apocalyptic world where only few cities have been able to stay on their feet. Vivi, the protagonist, is a girl with serious mental problems who fights guilt for the loss of her sister. She lives in the psychiatric hospital, and has finally had the opportunity to do a little work in the city, that's where she meets Eva, a lonely and mysterious girl with whom she will embark on a dangerous adventure.

To be honest, I didn't understand much of the story.
The illustrations are beautiful, I loved them! And actually, that's why I chose to read this book, but while the colors and illustrations were really beautiful, the story made no sense to me.

It is not only that some parts seemed to be cut, I don't understand if it is on purpose or was a mistake, but in some parts it seems that the scenes are cut abruptly when something interesting is starting.
There's also the fact that much of what they showed us is confusing. In some parts I did not know if what was happening was a dream or something real, but I want to think that in those parts the author wanted to show what Vivi's life was like and how it is to see it through her eyes.

On the other hand, the dark side of the story was extremely intriguing and that is what kept me awake wanting to continue with the story.
For people who love bloody, tragic, and zombie stories, this might be one of their next readings, but for me there were many plot holes that made me disappointed.
Of course, I want to emphasize the precious illustrations, I loved them ~.

I received an eARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Raw, grim and dark.

This is a fantastic zombie horror graphic novel, that twists and turns through the perspective of a mentally ill girl stuck in the apocalypse. Fast paced and disturbing, a real page turner.

This was a very... interesting book. The story it told was not at all what I expected, but it was done in such a unique and intriguing way. The illustration of the characters and their world is done in such a way that you are drawn in, and desire to know more about them and how the world they live in came to be that way. I do recommend this to anyone that wants to read a very spooky, off-beat kind of tale.

Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for the digital copy of the book for honest review.
The story is about two girls teamimg up for survival in a post apocalyptic premise filled with the undead. Things like friendship, dealing with grief and becoming self sufficient are meticulously presented in this story. The illustrations are vibrant and catchy. The characters are interesting. I enjoyed this graphic novel.

Thank you so much to net galley for sending me a copy of this book. I was really expecting to enjoy this book and I ended up loving it. I would recommend this book.

Deeply unsettling take on Zombie apocalypse. Pastel colors contrast with disturbing content and make the story even stronger. Impressive, disturbing,. fresh.

Um quadrinho simples que prende a atenção do leitor, porém não explica todas as problemáticas levantadas durante a história. Temos um enredo pós apocalíptico, aparentemente zumbis devastaram a terra e há uma cidade que sobrevive reclusa do mundo externo. Temos duas protagonistas opostas, porém ambas tem uma dívida com o passado que envolve toda a trama. Durante a leitura por vezes o imaginário das personagens se confundem com o real, seja por conta de sonhos, doença mental ou física, o que nem sempre é deixado muito claro. É uma história que cai no clichê de zumbis, mas levanta alguns aspectos diferentes que poderiam ter sido melhores desenvolvidos.

This was a very creepy and heartbreaking graphic novel about zombies. I did like that this wasn’t your typical zombie virus as well.

Ever After is a graphic novel about two teenage girls traveling through the abandoned countryside after a zombie apocalypse. The art is lovely, but the story, unfortunately, fell flat for me. Neither of the main characters, Vivi or Eva, were particularly compelling and I often questioned their motives. The story wasn't very cohesive and didn't seem to end up anywhere.

In a dystopian world filled with zombies, Vivi and Eva are on a mission to make it to the city of Jena, where life is much different from the dangerous place the girls had originally lived. When a train the girls are riding on breaks down, they have to travel on foot and hope they stay alive. Vivi and Eva are both carrying secrets—secrets that could get themselves killed.

This was such an interesting graphic novel! The illustrations were absolutely gorgeous and fun to look at, and they really depicted the plot of the story well, although the different shades of pink and purple that made up many of the pages masked the dark undertones portrayed in the story. I really liked that aspect and thought it gave some spooky vibes.

Overall, the graphics and dialogue flowed well with one another and allowed for a quick, easy read. I am a sucker for dystopian and apocalyptic stories, so this really hit the spot for me. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy a good zombie story!

Thanks to NetGalley and Graphic Universe for providing an ARC of this graphic novel!

I was unable to download this graphic novel to any of my devices or pc. I was disappointed in my lack of technical ability as I was excited to read this. I’m sorry that I was not able to read or review this one. But now I know to not request anymore graphic novels.

Thanks to NetGalley for the arc!

It is a great foundation for an interesting story, but it just goes nowhere. At least the art is very striking.

⭐1 Stars⭐

Eyecatching but lacking in substance.

What drew me to this book was the concept and the cover, both captured my interest and promised a unique story in a saturated genre. But unfortunately, Vieweg's story was muted, disjointed and underwhelming.

It felt like I was missing half the story because the narrative was so fragmented, we move from one event to another leaving plot points standing and characters lacking depth. The lack of chemistry between the cast meant I felt no empathy for Eva or ViVi and that any interactions between them felt strained. This was made worse by the fact that their dialogue inferred nothing about their character arcs and every decision they made seemed to just be a way to move along the plot or establish a new setting.

The art style is nothing special, I thought it would be used to draw attention to the disparity between the domestic and the horrific aspects of the story but it wasn't. The juvenile illustrations made it difficult for me to take the story seriously and sapped any suspense from an already dry plot.

Overall, I think the concept of the story is better than its execution in this case. This may be partially due to the fact this is a translated work but with that said the story still should have been able to stand on its own and impact the reader emotionally.

Trigger Warning: Self Harm, Suicide Attempt, Psychiatric Ward, Body Horror, Graphic Violence, Self Medication.

I liked the graphics of this book, but I will admit that I was confused through out the book. I think I got the overall concept, but it was very confusing.

Woo this was haunting. Incredibly simplistic in language but the imagery carried the plot and emotions that the really brief dialog did not. I do not usually read zombie stories but this one had an intriguing cover and a shockingly hopeful tone through the young protagonist.

A beautifully illustrated book about friendship and protecting those you love, even in the hardest of times. Ever After not only gives a new look into dystopian literature but it provides a fresh lens on what that could mean to us as humans. Most importantly, what makes us humans alive?

Loved the illustrations and graphics in this novel. It really helped me relate to the story and added depth to the book. I LOVED the characters and the plot, and as someone who doesn't read graphic novels often this was a reminder that I should. I would recommend this to all ages honestly, it can suit a large range of ages from around 10-18.

This is an apocalyptic graphic novel, but unfortunately, it was not my favorite art style or storytelling.

I received this as a review copy from NetGalley and Graphic Universe / Lerner Publishing Group. All opinions are my own.

I found "Ever After" to be a poignant story of survival, friendship, loss and forgiveness. The story feels disjointed at times but it fits the characters it seeks to portray as they process their traumas. I liked the premise of the story very much and thought the characters of Eva and Vivian were very nuanced and complicated. I liked the way the reader slowly learned about what had gotten them to this point. I found it to be an enjoyable read and also enjoyed the visuals of the story. It's a meaningful take on the zombie genre and a special story.

This is like watching Caroline, I did couple of years ago. Don't let the innocent cover fool you. It is creep-fest and horror walk down the lane. Not recommended for people like me. Not recommended, period. I am going to have some serious nightmares now.
