In Realm of the Reaper, we continue our journey through Everworld through the eyes of Jalil, the logical, level headed, and OCD science wiz.
Jalil, April, Christopher, and David find themselves trapped in Hell...well, trapped in Hel's Hell. They come face to half-dead-eaten-face with Loki's daughter, Hel. She sends her eunuch guards across Everworld to collect young, healthy men to entertain her in her harem.

This is the fourth book in the Everworld series. It is told from Jalil's point of view. The four teens continue to seek a way out of Everworld and back home. Not everyone is as hot to rescue Senna as they were before however. Now the kids find themselves in a creepy village where once you enter you can't leave. The village is under the control of Hel, Loki's daughter, and it is hell literally. This is the most intensely violent of the books thus far - a definite 8 on the creep-o-meter.
A book from the enigmatic reason-bound Jalil's perspective. So far his quest to put logic to the jumbled mess that is Everworld has proved to be the most interesting.
Having lost Senna, Jalil and the gang wander the landscapes of Everworld posing as minstrels. On the brink of starvation the group find a strange castle with its guards facing inwards. Can the gang escape from the court of the Queen of Terror before it's too late? Or will they be joining the vast legions of her victims?

Holy cow, this book was scary! Hel was most certainly the most horrifying deity. The teens see and experience some pretty terrible events in this book. I never envied them for one second. Jalil's narrations always seemed to be the most disturbing. Or at least they seemed to go to the worst places while he was telling events from his perspective, lol. Although my favorite line comes at the end of this book.
Realm of the Reaper centers on the goddess Hel, a horrifying half-alive half-dead woman who wants men for her harem. In this story, Christopher, David, Jalil, and April are still fighting in a dangerous world over a girl they don't understand - or particularly like. As I've said in other reviews of this series, it's best to read them in large chunks, more than one book at a time.
Starting in an imaginary environment the teenagers would not believed, they are to go find a witch who brought them to such world and go back home. However they must first encounter a death keeper first
It is really an underestimated book. Finish in one day. Great when you are stress out for it brings you into a fantasty

Jalil is my favorite character in this series, he's clever, careful, and extremely interesting. This book takes you to Hel's lair, where you are both horrified and morbidly fascinated by her cruelty. you will fight skeletons, say another hello to the serpant, and possibly escape.
This was another good book in the Everworld series. I found that it wasnt as good as the other books that I have read. This book was told in Jalil's P.O.V. and revolved around Loki's evil goddess daughter, Hel.
this book along with the last did inspire an immage which i am dying to put into immage. i would love to paint both the scene where merlin brings the dead butchered food to life and an immage of hel herself
I would have to say that so far, this is my favorite book out of the Everworld series (I still have 8 more to go). April, Jalil, David and Christopher have escaped Loki only to be in a never ending forest with not much to eat or drink. They finally come to what looks like a town and the smell of baking bread drives them closer to it. They find that it is more a prison than a town. Mostly everyone in town in male and terrified of "she". Who is this she and why is everyone so scared of her?
Questo quarto capitolo è meglio. Qui il narratore è Jalil. Un pochino velato di horror ma nulla di inquietante.

If only if only I could find the rest of these books!!! I swear its practically impossible to find them anymore!
This is Jalil's turn to tell the story as we plunge into horror. Not for the faint hearted.

the cover freaked my out though...
I wish these books would have all been put into one big novel. They are fantastic reads, leaving you begging for more at the end of each story line.

A truly brilliant take on mythology. For anyone who has ever been a fan of the religions of yore you'll be enthralled with Applegate's world of aliens and gods. My favorite series when it first came out and still one of my favorite series. The beginning of the first book is a bit difficult to get into, but once you get past that it is simply phenomenal. Applegate creates an entire world within Everworld while drawing enough from our own world so as not to entirely alienate or confuse the audienc...more
Great Series!
This entire series is flawless. I love every thing about these books, I would recommend this to any young adult. They are all both entertaining and educational. Everworld is by far my favorite series!
Okay, that was creepy. Loki's daughter Hel, half living and seductive, half dead and putrid, starts drawing our heroes into her underworld. Not appetizing. (And there's even a nice tee shirt transfer of her face in the middle so you can iron her on a shirt. Nasty.)
I liked hearing more about Jalil, he has been such a mystery to this point. Oh and Hel.....freaky, creepy, wacked out, sexy zombie lady.
Creepy as anything. I remember the first time I read this, I was terrified. The sense of dread is really, really palpable. And Hel is just freaky. I mean, she has to be. But, yes. Very, very good.
Great series..
Hel is my all time favorite character. I still get chills and I have read the book a lot!
See my review for Everworld: Search for Senna
Love the series.
