Summary Per Amazon:
Forever is a fitting finale to the lovely Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy by Maggie Stiefvater (after last year's Linger). This time, the stakes are higher than ever: while Isabel’s father plots to wipe out the wolves once and for all, Sam and Isabel search for ways to save the pack, and Cole races to find a cure for Grace. But the real centerpiece of the series is the romance--between Sam and Grace, of course, and between Cole and Isabel--and Stiefvater’s luminous, poignant writing does not disappoint. Sam and Grace steal breathtakingly sweet moments together between Grace’s unpredictable transformations, and Cole and Isabel struggle to melt each others’ icy exteriors. Readers will melt, too, and find a satisfying, but not too-perfect, ending to this bestselling saga.
Review:
As always, Maggie Stiefvater's writing is lovely and just a bit lyrical, the perfect complement to the beautiful characters and story that she has developed throughout the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy. In Forever, Grace and Sam are once again torn apart, this time by the wolf inside Grace, yet each finds a way to fight back against fate and to accept the wounded and torn parts of themselves and each other, strengthening their devotion to one another. And Isabel, with her ferocious wit and biting sarcasm, even manages to a few moments of actual feelings. Cole St. Clair also takes a prominent place in this story and actually became one of my favorites, with a tender heart masked by bad-boy swagger. Stiefvater manages to wrap the story up in a way that seems realistic and happy all at once, leaving the reader with the feeling that there is always hope and that true love does indeed triumph! Thanks, Ms. Stiefvater for a great read... and just so you know, I'm eagerly awaiting the Scorpio Races, so if you have any ARC's laying around, feel free to send one my way!
Grade: A+
