This time the author throws in yet more myths and classics: Sisyphus, the Minotaur, Dante, Scheherazade, and no doubt others I missed. This is the second book in the series that is a modified retelling of the Persephone and Orpheus myths.

Now, I still firmly believe that Cole has an obsession with Nikki - nothing more, nothing less - even at the end of this short story, which really proves that this novella is pointless. When extenuating circumstances force him to question his life and his reason for existence, however, he rapidly comes to the conclusion that he is, in fact, in love with Nikki. In Neverfall, this understanding of Cole is only confirmed as he is truly only interested in Nikki for what she can offer him. We don't really have a love triangle on our hands as Cole simply wants Nikki so that he himself can survive for thousands and thousands of more years and, of course, gain power along the way. In Everneath it is very obvious that Cole has no real or true feelings for Nikki. Where this story fell flat for me, though, is my understanding of Cole.
