YA Fantasy - This book is about a girl in a small village that is given the opportunity to become immortal, there's a trial and a dance where she drinks the nectar of the gods trying to join them and become one, read it 2011-2014 I think

Got this book from the library a while back and specifically wanted to read it again for the mechanics of the pantheon for some research I'm doing. It was generic YA Fantasy, and read very similar to a Gail Carson Levine book, but it wasn't by her.

[Maddog]

This probably isn’t it, but Origin by Jessica Khoury?

[Michaela]

I don't think so? I think the setting was more of a small village, not very sci-fi. Looks like a fun book though!

[Darce]

Did you find this book in the end? I think I’m looking for the exact same one

[SBC]

I immediately thought of Gail Carson Levine's Ever but you've ruled that out?

[SBC]

Origin for the click for Maddog's suggestion.

[Rivka]

I also immediately thought of Ever by GCL !

[Kris]

SBC and Rivka's suggestion of Ever by Gail Carson Levine looks promising.

Some Goodreads reviewers say:
- "I liked Kezi's test with therka (the Akkan's gods' version of nectar and ambrosia)."
- "Olus, who by now is quite smitten with the brave and beautiful dancer spirits her away to Akka where he hopes to have her drink the immortal therka, drink of the gods, and by so doing render her immortal."
