The sun is dying. Five billion years earlier than scientists believed it should, it looks set to wipe out all life on the planet Earth. Emily is an artificial consciousness, a university experiment designed to help humans process trauma. When her creator discovers a way in which she can save humanity, he ends up dead, Emily’s servers stolen and her ability to interact with the world taken from her. She finds herself on the run with a chemistry student named Jason – on whom she has developed something of a crush during her five-year lifespan – and Mayra, a small-town sheriff, with time rapidly running out to save anyone. When she comes face to face with an earlier version of herself – less artificial consciousness and more old-fashioned artificial intelligence – Emily must discover, and leverage, what it is that makes us human in order to save us from our own flawed logic, and from almost certain extinction.

M.G. Wheaton’s debut novel immediately sets itself apart from other end-of-the-world novels by presenting the story from a unique point of view. Emily is our first-person narrator and, even though she exists as little more than a piece of code, we find ourselves looking through her eyes, and seeing the world from her often-limited point of view. Initially restricted to the university grounds, Emily has spent five years growing in a controlled environment, forced to be subject to the same laws of physics as the rest of us in order to make her feel as human as possible. This means a shower and attendant activities every morning, and a walk from her virtual room to the laboratory where she works with a small team of scientists. Despite the fact that none of these activities are strictly necessary, both Emily and her creator feel that they’ll help her appreciate the daily struggles of the human animal.

Emily is an incredible and memorable creation, a character who can get under the reader’s skin and stay there long after the end of the story. Unlike many fictional AI creations, Emily’s status as Artificial Consciousness gives her a personality with which we can engage, and a unique, natural voice, through which we follow the story. Give her a body, and she’s probably closer to Dick’s replicants than any other computer-based lifeform in science fiction. And therein lies her uniqueness: Emily has no physical form. She can interact with people who are wearing a special interface chip, so once her servers are taken from her, she exists in a kind of limbo, conscious only when one of her companions wears the chip in which her entire being is stored.

Despite the issues I found with the plot – the Jason/Emily sex scene being one of the most prominent – Emily Eternal is, overall, an excellent piece of speculative fiction. Wheaton examines the human condition through the eyes of someone – or something – that wishes nothing more than to be a real person. This empathy often makes Emily the most human character in any given scene and begs the question why she would strive to be like us, when we should perhaps be striving to be more like her. Despite the fast pace of the novel, and the impending death of the planet and everything on it, Wheaton takes time to examine this conundrum from a number of different angles.

Emily Eternal treads the thin line between science fiction and science fact; you’ll find nothing here, for the most part, that is beyond the realms of possibility. I have some qualms about the story’s resolution, but not enough to ruin the overall vibe or to stop me from recommending the book to everyone who likes science fiction. Part Ben H. Winters’ Henry Palace series, part Pinocchio, with a dash of Neal Stephenson’s excellent Seveneves, Emily Eternal presents us with a near-future vision that is entirely plausible, using technology that is a mere handful of iterations beyond what is available today.

Emily is smart and capable, though plagued by many of the worries and foibles that affect her human counterparts. She is an excellent choice for point of view during the telling of this apocalyptic tale, a character who is affected by the same impending doom as everyone else, while still being something of an outsider, allowing the author to present a somewhat unique vision of the end of the world.

Fast-paced and full of heart, Emily Eternal is a standout debut that feels like the work of a much more accomplished author. Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton or Neal Stephenson, it’s a thought-provoking and intelligent read that still manages to entertain and surprise. I have quibbles, but none of them are major, and none of them spoiled my enjoyment of the book. Author M.G. Wheaton and Emily herself deserve to be household names. We can only hope that there is plenty more to come. For now, Emily Eternal should be on your list of books to read sooner rather than later.

Emily Eternal is a lot of what I love about science fiction. M. G. Wheaton has taken something that is pretty unbelievable (the end of the sun five billion years early) and made it perfectly believable. That, and the sentient computer programme, Emily.

Emily has been developed in order to help humanity. Primarily, she is supposed to counsel people who had been through trauma - and there’s a lot of it going around with all the impending doom, climate catastrophes etc. But this counselling has been used as a way of Emily teaching herself to become more human. She learns, constantly. I say “she”, because Emily is portrayed as a normal human being. She has daily routines, washes her hair, sleeps, eats. She learns from the people she counsels and watches through the various security cameras. And she forms attachments with her programmers and the other people she encounters.

But things go horribly wrong, and Emily escapes just in time. She is helped by her human companions for most of the book: Jason and Myra.

I don’t want to say too much more, because if you’re going to read this, I wouldn’t want to spoil it. It was a gripping story of a computer programme who has taught ‘herself’ how to care for humanity and to do her best for them. I loved it.
Recommended to all those who like Sci-Fi that’s light on the science and heavy on the personal relationships.

According to the blurb Emily is ‘an artificial consciousness, designed in a lab to help humans process trauma.’ ‘she can solve advanced mathematical problems, unlock the mind's deepest secrets and even fix your truck's air con, but unfortunately, she can't restart the Sun.’

Humanity is in trouble. The sun is turning into a red giant a little earlier than predicted and about the cause an apocalypse.
There doesn’t seem to be much Emily can do to help until she learns to access the human genome.

This seems to have potential and starts well but a lot of the narration is from Emily’s point of view and her 'headspace' is not a fun place to be. She behaves like a hormonal teenager and when she isn’t trying to manipulate humanity she is obsessed with her crush on one of the college students imagining and then creating ‘romantic’ scenarios which are both creepy and tedious.

And as a side note: Why are so many AI/ACs female?
Is it the misconception ala Xavier Fitch in Species ‘We decided to make it female so it would be more docile and controllable’ or just the incarnation of a male-nerd fantasy?

In the second half the pace is ramped up to the extreme, the end of the world is approaching, Emily’s creator’s lose control, and there is completely OTT attack on the campus.
Emily somehow evolves from interfacing with people through a chip to being able to alter people’s genome via the blue tooth connection on a coffee maker!!!
It all gets a bit ridiculous.

At first I did wonder if any of it was plausible, by the end I didn’t care enough to check.

I really did want to like this.
Unfortunately from the first page I struggled to engage with the characters.
I found the story line turgid and really was debating whether to keep reading.
Very disappointing.

I ended up DNFing this book within a few chapters. I found it kind of boring, but there was also a certain thing that bothered me. I love reading Sci-fi books, and even though I don't know a lot about science, most sci-fi books will make an attempt to explain a sciencey thing in a somewhat understandable way. This book would start explaining a sciencey thing in a very complex and sciencey way and then cut off and be like "oh, you wouldn't understand" and that just really annoyed me.

Emily is an Artificial Conscious (AC), which she explains is different from being an A.I.! Emily was created to help people with PTSD and other psychological problems and has slowly begun interacting with the world around her. Emily is looking forward to the day she is unveiled to the wider world so that she can help more people. Except, and this isn’t a spoiler, the people of Earth only have six months to live, before the Sun goes supernova, when this happens it will have a catastrophic impact on all living things.

It isn’t hard to like Emily, she comes across as a fully formed character, who has had to learn about what makes a human, including time and structure as part of her programming, this allows her to understand humanity and makes her better able to help individuals. Emily has a job as part of the team that created her, she keeps to the same schedule as they do, including times to sleep and eat. Emily is part of their world, rather than apart from it. Emily is treated like a member of the team rather than a tool that they have created. Interacting through a patch on each team member, this allows her to communicate with those who have the patch on, as well as being seen by them.

The book is split into different parts, the first part is getting to know Emily and her hopes of how she can help humanity. In the second part, Emily has lost everyone and everything she knows and believed in. Emily is connected to a man named Jason, but their relationship is tenuous and they have to learn to trust and work together. They are joined by Mayra, who is a sheriff that Jason knows who helps them work out a plan to do this. This section feels more like an action/adventure story with very high stakes. I really enjoyed how these three get to know each other and their backstories help you get to know them throughout the chaos of trying to figure out what happened to Emily’s team.

With the world about to end, Emily is seen as a Hail Mary, as she can digitally copy everyone on Earth and store them safely in the hopes that they can have a life after death. Emily would become a digital ark, although she would no longer exist. Part three, is a heavy hitter, as Emily finds out that humanity really is screwed. This part feels like a roller coaster, as Emily keeps learning new truths, as well as being confronted with scenarios that she never had to consider. As she realises that she may not be the only Artificial Consciousness out there. Emily has to learn to deal with betrayal and being used, as she realises how little choice she has in the matter of what happens to her.

This book leads you on a very emotional journey as well as diving into its sci-fi/thriller nature. To put this into context, there are a lot of questions you are confronted with, such as: Is this a novel about the end of the world or the self-actualisation of an artificial consciousness? This can also be seen as a survival story both on the small and large scale. Emily Eternal poses many questions including: is the most logical answer also the most humane? Can Emily make a difference to whether humanity can survive past the ending of the sun, or is she being humanly unreasonable by thinking this is a possibility? You would have to read the book to find out. Overall I thought this was a really intriguing story that I look forward to reading again.

Emily Eternal was such, such a disappointment. It’s not what I was expecting at all! What I wanted was a science fiction thriller about an AI saving the human race from extinction, but what I actually got was more of a sci-fi romance involving an AI and a human main character.

The pointless romance completely distracted from the main plot. You know how in movies people kiss in the middle of a fight scene and we’re all shouting at them to stop? That’s what this entire romance felt like from beginning to end. I was so disappointed in it because I don’t think Emily the AI needed a romance at all, and it should have been left out completely for her to focus on saving the human race.

Emily Eternal was a lot more action than science fiction, which again, I wasn’t expecting and I didn’t want.

I think Emily Eternal had potential was overall it was boring and I’m sad that I found it so dull. Give me better sci-fi, PLEASE.

If there are two preoccupations in current SFF, they are probably climate change and artificial intelligence stories exploring the nature of what it means to be human.  Emily Eternal by M G Wheaton (review copy from Hodderscape) attempts to fuse the two.  But I'm not sure it succeeds. 


Emily is an artificial consciousness created as a therapist by a New England university to help people overcome trauma.  And there is a lot of trauma in the world of the novel - the Sun is dying and that means the Earth will too.  Between the loss of solar energy and electromagnetic discharges destroying most of the planet's technical infrastructure, the world is doomed.  Wars, scarcity and suicide feature in the slow decline and fading away of society.  It's a very depressing scenario. 


Within this last fading of human civilisation, Emily is growing and learning as a person, and helping others, living in a near live-time virtual copy of the university campus and able to interact with some of her developer team through specialist implants.  Despite her impressive abilities, Emily is scrupulous about trying to replicate as far as possible what it is like to live as a human.  Her life is a sophisticated version of The Sims, in effect. 


But this story of human identity and what-it-means-to-be-human when living with the expected imminent collapse of civilisation takes a massive jink to the left when Emily's technology is seen as one possible route for preserving humanity.  What results is a bit of a hot mess of a thriller, with lots of mercenaries, chase sequences and evil Government conspiracies.  The ending, in particular, felt rushed and incredibly implausible. 


Goodreads rating: 2*

Emily is an artificial consciousness, designed in a lab to help humans process trauma, which is particularly helpful when the sun begins to die 5 billion years before scientists agreed it was supposed to.
So, her beloved human race is screwed, and so is Emily. That is, until she finds a potential answer buried deep in the human genome. But before her solution can be tested, her lab is brutally attacked, and Emily is forced to go on the run with two human companions - college student Jason and small-town Sheriff, Mayra.
As the sun's death draws near, Emily and her friends must race against time to save humanity. But before long it becomes clear that it's not only the species at stake, but also that which makes us most human.

---------------------------------------------

As you can see from the publicist's blurb above, I'm continuing with my apocalyptic streak, but with a slight difference - this time the story is set pre-apocalypse, because when the Sun dies there'll be no humans left to tell stories.
There are two sides to Emily Eternal; there's a gripping, action-packed race to save humanity from the dying sun, but, just as much, it's about what kind of society will survive, and what constitutes 'humanity'. How far can a person change and still be considered human? how far would you be prepared to sacrifice free-will to survive? Unfortunately, it's not something to debate further here as I'd have to give away too many plot spoilers.

It took a while to come to grips with the slightly weird way 'Emily' works - making her sometimes visible to one person, sometimes to many - but overall I enjoyed the book.
There were a few bugs and loopholes that plagued me at times - the most niggling being the lack of panic shown by the general public. The end of the world is coming, people know about it, but everyone seems to be taking it amazingly calmly - none of the street-rioting, suicide cults, etc that you might expect and which appear in other end-of-the-world novels and films. It possible that in part this could be explained away by the fact that Emily 'lives' in the restricted environment of a university campus and news of the outside world is kept from her, but even the academics surrounding her seemed unperturbed by the thought of mass extinction.
It's good to see a 'computer' working on humanity's side for once. Emily isn't 2001's HAL, or the Terminator series' mankind-destroying machines; rest assured she has our welfare at heart.

1.5 stars

Emily is an artificial consciousness. She was designed to help humans, which is good because the human race needs all the help it can get when the sun starts dying billions of years before it's meant to.
Humankind might have a chance to survive when Emily finds hope in the human genome, but then her lab is attacked. Emily finds herself on the run with human companions.
In a race against time, Emily must try to evade the people that attacked the lab, and find a way to save the human race.
Will she succeed?

Going into Emily Eternal, I was expecting to love it - science, an apocalypse, and a race against time? Those things are right up my street! Unfortunately, I was disappointed.
From the first page I struggled to get into the plot and to connect with the characters due to the writing style.
I persevered, however, despite debating DNFing at several points. Part of me wishes that I had given up, because I didn't particularly enjoy what I read. I usually would have stopped reading this instead of finishing it, but I wanted to give it another chance to grab my attention because it had all the ingredients to be something that I should have enjoyed. I did find myself skim-reading at several points.
The idea of an artificial consciousness was interesting and I like the cover, but those are the only positives for me.
I'm really disappointed that I didn't enjoy this more.

Overall this was an okay, but disappointing read.

So the Apocalypse actually happens and money is no longer of any value, just barter. And Emily, an artificial intelligence was designed to interface with, and de-code human minds. She was designed to become not a maths genius, but rather a non-human psychiatrist. It was reasoned that people would open up more to a program than a human and thus more would be learnt about the human mind and emotions that way. Of course, she needed a body to undertake her work but the sun’s failure somewhat interrupted everyone’s intentions. Emily can eat, wash, sleep and alter her appearance despite requiring a Caucasian female personality for the experiment.
So, if the human race can no longer live on Earth, what can be done to record their lives, their endeavours and hopes? And how can Emily help?
An interesting idea within a set of ‘books’ within the book as Emily and her protocols evolve, and as the Earth dies but...

This opens as a gripping sci fi novel with an AI Emily (although she prefers AC - artificial consciousness) as the protagonist of a dying earth. The end is nigh and there's a counter ticking down. All great. It's just the novel isn't a sci fi novel so much as a romance, and so to switch from this great setup to Emily mooning over a student at her university was a little disappointing. Once past the big romance intro the pace picked up again and with some very hand waved science the plot got cracking on.

I've been on a roll of good books recently so picked this one up with anticipation. The start sets out the tech - an AI manfestation - that ultimately evolves to be able to control humans and even (without giving spoilers) modifying them. I was all for the sci-fi aspect but then a clumsy romance was thrown into the mix and I just didn't get how that really worked between AI and human and it kind of spoilt it for me and it took prominence for much of the second half of the story. The end was also a bit of a let down for me (difficult to explain without giving spoilers). Overall there were elements that were memorable particularly going back to the lab and escaping Jason's house but it's 3.5 stars from me.

I really wanted to enjoy Emily Eternal because the premise sounded really interesting. An artificial consciousness trauma counsellor trying to figure out their purpose during the end of the world. But there was so much I didn't like about the book which overshadowed it.

Firstly Emily's characterisation which was downright weird. It felt like I was seeing the story through the eyes of a teenager. This came across as a serious story written (I'm guessing) for adults. Then you have Emily with all sorts of interesting quotes like "I've felt no return to my expanded (and totes goddess-of-information-like) abilities".

If you like YA romance books I guess you'll like this because thats basically what it is. Emily isn't like other girls (literally). And she gets her totally hot boyfriend. The whole intimacy thing between Emily and ?? (I'm going to say Kevin) was really weird. Emily doesn't physically exists, she's like a hologram projected onto the character's brain. But they manage to have sex. I'm not going to ask how.

I think the most annoying part of the plot was how it set up the rules for how the world works and then proceeds to break them. Even though Emily is a trauma counsellor she can manipulate cells and DNA. But apparently curing cancer is a step too far. In the space of two chapters she also taught herself how to swim and fight. Don't even ask me how the story ends because I read the ending three times and I still couldn't tell you.

The world just didn't seem believable. Too many science things were explained away with its basically just magic. I've literally read stories about moving an entire planet which felt more believable than this because it was grounded in science.

Basically its like Seveneves. If Seveneves was a YA fantasy book rather than hard science fiction.

The voice, the story, the ambitious ideas make this absolutely perfect .. an AI machine designed to save the world and humanity with finely tuned and developing sophisticated moral code.. surpassing her makers and team as she's swallowed up into political machinations in a world that is doomed as the sun dies. I really loved this .. and highly recommend for its sheer ingenuity. Sophisticated computers interact with each other out of human control ,and results are intriguing, in fact riveting.. brilliant ..a new classic: Demolition Emily (after besler?)

Emily Eternal is a gripping thriller which races along whilst retaining a very human heart. Before reading I would not have guessed that you could root for an artificial conscience in the same way you would a more conventional heroine. So, great characters and a clever story means it has broad appeal for both sci-fi and thriller readers. The descriptions of physical places, weather action etc are very well portrayed which makes it easy to visualise and feel that you are there. M G Wheaton is a writer I will definitely be looking out for. Thanks to Hodder and Stoughton and NetGalley for providing me with a great read with this ARC.

There is a good idea at the heart of this novel, but unfortunately for me the execution was a little bit lacklustre. It tells the story of Emily, an Artificial Consciousness who is super smart but can't restart the sun. The heat death of the solar system makes for a pretty compelling premise, but it just wasn't explored that much. Instead, this reads a lot like a coming of age drama encompassing love and loss, with the odd 'end of the world' element thrown in. This had a tendency to make the narrative a little disjointed and messy, particularly towards the end. Overall, this was a reasonably enjoyable read that just didn't quite achieve its full potential.
I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

The Intro:
I really enjoyed this introduction, I had heard that it got a little confusing with the science/techy terms but I honestly found it easy to follow – [note: I work in technology and studied maths at uni…] – but as long as you don’t try to think about how it all works too much you’ll be fine.
The Middle:
The pace picked up more here – I found the beginning a little slow; granted a lot of time and care was taken to ensure the characters were introduced and the background story explained but I found my attention wavering. As I said, it gets up to speed more in the middle section of the book, and it’s also the part where characters come into their own. At the start they are more 2-dimensional; their backstories are told and we get a brief introduction to each of the main characters but it’s only when we reach the middle that we start to see them as individuals.
There were unfortunately a few events however that didn’t really resonate with me – they were supposed to but I found myself too detached from individuals to be really moved by what happened. So for me the pace kind of ebbed and flowed with some really tense and gripping scenes, and others that fell a little short.
The Ending:
This was overall a really strong ending – the suspense built in the middle section of the book was rewarded with a really gripping ending. There was one tiny detail that for me was just too far fetched but looking over that I thought the ending was superb.
I don’t think it tied all the loose ends together, so I do have some questions remaining but for the main storyline and characters I can safely say that it was well rounded. It’s the more minor details that felt a little unfinished.
Characters:
Emily is quite a loveable character – if somewhat robotic… I get she’s supposed to be an artificial consciousness but I’d assume she had to pass the Turing Test for the project? To me she sometimes just came across as a little too perfect. Her internal conflicts seemed realistic enough but interactions with other people seemed a little flat.
The others I would’ve liked to know better but given the brevity of the story (less than 300 pages) I think it’s fair to assume there just wasn’t room to expand on these personalities.
Narrative:
The narrative flows well in this story, and the author actually does a really good job of explaining the artificial consciousness and keeping within its boundaries. It’s a tricky subject to approach particularly when the protagonist of the story is the artificial consciousness. I had heard some people say it was confusing for them with all the technical jargon – personally I didn’t think this was the case; it’s something you can’t look into too much and you kind of have to accept it being there – it is after all, futuristic technology.
Summary:
This was overall a pretty enjoyable read – I would’ve liked to see a more human side to Emily, in my opinion she was just a little robotic in certain scenarios. she lacked the imperfections needed to make her “human”, and therefore it was tricky to connect with her. I didn’t dislike her but being the main character I would’ve liked to have some kind of bond with her – particularly given the secondary characters aren’t that well known.
Overall I’m awarding this 3.5/5.

Earth is living its last months in this book: all calculations indicating that the Sun would go the way of red giants in 4.5 billions of years were wrong, and helium fusion has been detected in its core… which means the inner solar system will soon go bye-bye. On this Earth where people have forsaken money for barter, and where people try to go join their loved ones to go together, a group of MIT scientists is still working on their Artificial Consciousness: Emily, who was intended as a psychotherapist of sorts, and was “growing up” half in a simulation where she was living the campus life, in order to better understand humanity. And now, they want Emily to be the last hope of the human race.

That was super-fast read for me, because I just couldn’t stop, and kept on reading, wanting to know how all this would unfold. The story is narrated in the first person, from Emily’s point of view, and as a character with a voice all of its own, the artificial consciousness is definitely quite likeable and even funny at times. This is not only a novel about the end of the world, but also about humanity and free will; about emotions, feelings and romance; about what “being like a god” could be like; about doing the right thing because it’s in your programming, and then because you do sense it’s just the right thing to do, period. Not everyone agrees with the decision Emily’s creator went with, and thus Emily finds herself pitched against those who would uphold more drastic methods… even though, all in all, tasked with saving the world in a matter of weeks, all methods are probably going to be drastic, each in its own way.

Thanks to her supercomputer nature, Emily can easily interact with electricity, through an interface patch letting its wearers see her… but this also means she can interact with them, using electric signals in the human body, and this raises all sorts of conundrums and interesting questions about what she could do, and how far she’d be willing to go in that regard for the greater good, to save as many people as possible. And even though Emily was overall a good person, with her own morals that were so much closer to a human’s, it didn’t meant she was never tempted, or never made mistakes, for that matter. This includes the romance part (one that I enjoyed, for a change—I’m very picky about romance subplots), considering what it’s partly based on.

If anything, I’d say I was less on board with the last 10-15% of the book. While the basic premise, that of the Sun going out sooner than expected, does demand a bit of suspension of disbelief at first (“could we be mistaken THAT much about it?”), it is nevertheless grounded in a logic that makes it quickly believable. However, the solution Emily went with is much more of a stretch, perhaps because it felt like it all went too fast compared to the rest of the story? I would probably have been on board more if it had taken a little more room, rather than “this is what’s been happening during the past few months”.

Conclusion: 4.5 stars. I wasn’t completely on board with the last chapters, but Emily’s character, as well as Mayra’s, definitely make up for it.

I really liked Emily, an artificial consciousness (not an A.I.) designed to assist humans overcome traumatic situations. Emily is in huge demand right at the start of the book, when humanity is grappling with the knowledge that the sun is going to die in a matter of weeks – and so are they. Interestingly, the book is told from Emily’s viewpoint in first person pov, so we get a ringside seat to Emily’s thoughts. To be honest – while I consciously suspended my disbelief while reading the book, I wasn’t completely convinced by her to the extent that I could simply relax into the storyline without considering whether she actually worked. It wasn’t a dealbreaker and there is a lot about the book that I thoroughly enjoyed – but it would have been a 5 star rating from me if I’d been able to accept the whole premise.

That said, Emily is very likeable – smart, empathetic and clearly concerned about the humans she has grown up around in her 5-year-old life at the university lab where she works alongside a dedicated team of scientists and students. One of the things I love about this book is the pacing. I didn’t read the blurb, so found the initial plight – Sunmaggedon, as it’s called – both riveting and enjoyable. Just as I was settling down to discover how the university are going to use Emily to help with the desperate situation, it all turns into something else as another agenda forces itself onto the scene. The horror and violence was well done – sufficiently engrossing to keep the pace up and the pages turning, but not too much so that Emily is completely overwhelmed, thus slowing everything down.

The next plot twist – which I won’t reveal because it takes us into Spoiler territory – again, caught me unawares with a development I thoroughly enjoyed. However I found the romance between Emily and Jason annoying, to the extent that I was a tad disappointed when I discovered that he hadn’t died during a major incident near the beginning of the book.

The final plot development wasn’t one that wholly convinced me, though at no stage was I tempted to walk away. If you enjoy science fiction at the quirkier end, with a strong non-human protagonist, give this adventure a go. You may find Emily more believable than I did, but even if you have reservations, this is a brave book aiming high with an ambitious concept that I mostly enjoyed. The ebook arc copy of Emily Eternal was provided by the publisher through NetGalley in return for an honest opinion of the book.
7/10
