It appears that I really enjoy Maggie Stiefvater. Over the summer, I finished one series (the Wolves of Mercy Falls) and started another (Raven Boys). I've written in the past about her book Scorpio Races, one of my personal favorites!
I finished the remaining books in the series rather quickly because I wanted to know what would happen to Grace and Sam. Would their love story work out when everything seemed to be working against them?
In the first book, Shiver, Sam and Grace were the primary points of view. In the second book, Linger, Cole St. Clair and Isabel are added into the chapter rotations. These characters bring a completely different perspective to the chaotic situation that is taking place in their lives. While Sam and Grace tend to have a positive outlook, Cole and Isabel are depressive, negative, and fighting to stay in the present. These four characters gel perfectly.
In the finale book, Forever, the relationships and characters are developed into much deeper levels. Isabel really shines as a main character in this book. Overall, it was a solid conclusion to the series. I don't want to give away too much since you have to know how Shiver (book one) ends to really understand the plot details of books two and three.
