Spring literature analysis #1

General:
1: The plot of "The Shadowland" by Alison Noel is that Ever(leading girl in the story) had to make a decision to save her "soul mate", Damen, or let him die . If she saves him they can never touch because the cure is her DNA. So she does it and after he is cured they try tho find an antidote to fix the spell. Damen finds out if him and Ever ever die they are sent to the shadow land which is a trap for your soul for eternity because they are immortals so Damien breaks up with Ever to let her think if she wants to be with a guy that has been her lover in her past lives she falls for the other guy until her best friend is dying from poison and a bad guy Roman did it and he give her the option to either save her friend or get the antidote to Damens spell she choose her friend.
2: The theme of the book is that love conquers any obstacles.
3: I'm not sure about the tone.
4: the author used foreshadowing when Roman started to hang out with Ever's best friend, she used allusion; Noel knew how to connect to her readers through allusion, the author used a lot of flashback in the story relating the story to the previous story before it, she does a great job of imagery; you can read the story like a movie,
Characterization:
1: In the book there was times where Ever was in summerland (which is a fictional place made out of energy) where she brought out who she really is as a character. She can be herself when Damens around, because he knows her secret about being immortal. Damens character is based on how he looks. Like for example damen wears expensive clothes, has the bad boy look, and drives a 100 thousand car. The author shows the characters personality by what he looks like.
2. The syntax of the story is more of slang and makes teenage readers understand by using informal language.
3.  I think the protagonist(Roman) is a round character, because he's almost an open book except he hides his intentions and motives.
4. I came out of the book like i met the character. The author makes the character feel like your friends with the character and you've known them a long time.
