I love Maggie Stiefvater’s Raven Cycle, but I had some trouble with Linger. It was only okay until the final few chapters - the plot barely seemed to move for most of the novel but without lovely writing or character development. I own the rest of the series but it may take me awhile to get around to the next installment. ( )

(2nd in a series, so there are spoilers ahead)

Grace and Sam have fought so hard to be together, and just when as they’re settling into the idea that a future together is possible, things start to unravel. Again. The new werewolves made by Sam’s adoptive father, Beck, seem potentially problematic, to put it lightly, while Sam is struggling to fill the role of Human in Charge/Den Father that Beck left behind at the same time as he’s trying to negotiate being all human all the time. But when he’s with Grace, all of his uncertainty and worry crumbles. Until Grace herself becomes a source of worry for him. She becomes nearly constantly ill with a high fever and stomach pains, and no doctor can suss out what’s wrong. But both Grace and Sam secretly and separately fear they know the real reason she’s sick…

I adore Stiefvater, as you all likely know, and I’m really enjoying her version of the werewolf romance trope. But. Hoo boy, there is a *lot* of teen angst in here, and a lot of frustrated love feels, neither of which are usually my jam. But it’s Maggie and I love her and her writing is still amazing and I have faith that the ending to the series will be Maggie-style amazeballs. ( )

I liked it better than the first. What does it say about me that I like the Ice Princess and the Drug Head more than the main characters? ( )

Not nearly as good as the first one, but still good. I can't wait to see what happens in the rest of the series. ( )

Book description
The sequel to Shiver follows the story of Grace and the wolves of Mercy Falls.

Maggie says: "It's about after. What happens after you discover there are werewolves in the wood, after you've fallen in love for the first time, after you've lost what you think you can't live without, after you've become someone you can't live with."
