The Ever Cruel Kingdom: 2 (Never Tilting World, 2) Hardcover – 10 Dec. 2020
Purchase options and add-ons
From the author of The Bone Witch, the thrilling sequel to The Never Tilting World spins elemental magic, fierce sisterhood, and vast, incredible landscapes into a YA fantasy epic perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Sabaa Tahir.
After a treacherous journey and a life-shattering introduction to a twin neither knew she had, sisters Haidee and Odessa expected to emerge from the Great Abyss to a world set right. But though the planet is turning once again, the creatures of the abyss refuse to rest without another goddess’s sacrifice.
To break the cycle, Haidee and Odessa need answers that lie beyond the seven gates of the underworld, within the Cruel Kingdom itself. The shadows of the underworld may hunger to tear them apart, but these two sisters are determined to heal their world—together.

Product description
Review
Praise for The Never Tilting World: “The Never Tilting World is what happens when Garth Nix meets Mad Max: Fury Road . It’s a dark, lovely, and even timely look at a world that’s fallen apart, with just the right blend of epic action and twisted magic.” — Tara Sim, author of Timekeeper
“Visually vivid, magical, and exhilarating.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Dark and richly drawn, The Never Tilting World is a lavish fantasy about sisterhood, sacrifice, and finding strength in a treacherous world. Chupeco’s writing is lushly descriptive, transporting me to the brink of the abyss; while reading it, I could swear the world stood still.” — Heidi Heilig, author of For a Muse of Fire
“Multiple plot twists and a breathlessly cinematic tone will attract fantasy and romance fans alike.” — Booklist
“Complex, brutal, romantic, and terrifying. With a phenomenal cast of characters who stick to your bones and vivid worldbuilding that shows up in your dreams, this is a book that demands to be experienced.” — Dahlia Adler, author of Under the Lights and editor of His Hideous Heart
“This rich fantasy spotlights power’s corruptive influence, love’s redemptive nature, and the urgent concerns of climate change. The tale’s scope and creativity astound.” — Publishers Weekly
“A great choice for fantasy shelves.” — School Library Journal

5.0 out of 5 stars Soooo good!
I have loved everything I've read by Rin. She's really good at building worlds and characters that I actually care about. This series was great at showing how greed can ruin the world around us but we still have time to fix it if we just work together.
- LevReviewed in France on 20 May 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible end of a very good saga
It's everything I love in a last book. The characters are just so good, the writing is very nice and the pacing makes it impossible to put down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rin never disappoints!
Rin Chupeco is one of the very few authors whose books I automatically pre-order and they have never disappointed me. The second book in their Never Tilting World duology was absolutely worth the wait, and I only wish there could have been more! (as I do every time I finish one of their books!) Can't wait to see what they have for us next!
- Travis HaydenReviewed in the United States on 26 May 2021
4.0 out of 5 stars The Ever Cruel Kingdom delivered a...
The Ever Cruel Kingdom delivered a very satisfying conclusion to this duology. I however still liked book one just a tad better. That is not to say this book was bad but it did drag for me in some areas while still entertaining me.
I don't have much more to add to this review that I didn't already say in my review for book one. Everything that I loved and adored in book one was very present throughout this book, whether that be the world or the characters or even the plot. What I will say here is my one critique, and that is the story kind of dragged like I said. This story though still had me completely in its hooks.
I am such a Rin Chupeco fan at this point. Seriously all the books I have read by them have left a very lasting mark on my reader heart. I am so eager to pick up any and every book they plan on releasing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it
I loved this book. This series was great. I absolutely loved the story. It was very hard to put down. The love between the characters was great. These books are not very steamy but it's still a great book to read.
