Ever Part One: War in the Waste: War in the Raw (Ever, Pt 1) Book

Crispin Kateralbin is an outsider, and no matter how hard he tries, he cannot find a place to fit in. Expelled from his circus home after his carelessness causes a death, he first wanders and then flees across the crumbling Ferupian Empire into daemon-infested Raw. He acquires a companion, Rae, who was born in Kirekune (with whom Ferupe has been at war for 100 years), and who is also an exile, excluded forever from belonging anywhere by the lengths she has gone to for acceptance. Their world is fantastically dark, warlike, and corrupt, and the visions Crispin has of a city destroyed by holocaust suggest that the end is near. Separated from Rae in Pilkinson's Shadowtown, Crispin goes on without her, transferring his allegiance to the Ferupian Air Force and its daemon-powered planes, but there, too, he is an outsider, despite his flying skill. Ever ends without resolution. The journeys (inner and outer) that Felicity Savage depicts are interesting, but incomplete. Savage's writing is rough, sometimes overdone, and Crispin's episodic life seems to have little effect on him; although he is the central character, we do not know much more about him at the end than we did at the beginning. Savage leaves plenty of hints and loose ends for another volume or two, and Crispin's story is by no means whole, so the ultimate quality of this book depends entirely on what follows.Read More

    Ever

    Crispin is a "circus baby," born in a caravan, working as a daemon handler and aerialistuntil an accident on the high wire casts him out into a world even stranger that the circus that nurtured him.

    The War in the Waste

    Crispin falls headlong into the arms of Rae, an orphan girl of equally exotic origins. And soars in daemon-powered biplanes over the wastelands of the Raw, joining the awesome battle between Ferupe's slow-dying Queen and her adversary, the Lizard Significant.
