I'm glad there is a sequel as I adore the characters already. She makes me a believer in her fairy tales. My only frustration is how quickly it ended. For me, her books can be hit or miss. This one is not to be missed. <br /><br />Maycee Greene (<a href="http://www.premiumseocompany.com/WA/moses-lake-wa-seo-company.asp" rel="nofollow">Premium SEO - Moses Lake</a>)Maycee Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00909625736728945626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877379041758656043.post-31119646330308389082013-02-04T18:24:12.883-08:002013-02-04T18:24:12.883-08:00I was definitely thrown by the romance in this boo...I was definitely thrown by the romance in this book but I was absolutely swept away by this story and I can't wait for more in the series.

A little slow at times, but interesting nonetheless.

I liked that "Certain plot twists are almost unpredictable" because I tend to guess a lot of the big ones! Great review!

I just didn't love the Wolves of Mercy Falls so I always stop before I read her books. I guess I just don't like her writing as much as most other people do. <br /><br />Thanks for the great review though, I'm glad you really liked it even if it was a little slow to start off with.

I have in the past really enjoyed Stiefvater's writing style, but it always takes me awhile to get used to. I do like that there are unpredictable plot twists though--definitely love when that happens!Christina / Book Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06661826027260861430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877379041758656043.post-86880165143639947612013-02-04T09:39:24.442-08:002013-02-04T09:39:24.442-08:00I wish we'd gotten a few more answers as well,...I wish we'd gotten a few more answers as well, but it's clear the story is just beginning, hah.

I love them all, there's no way I could ever choose a favorite, but The Raven Boys still stand out.<br />The characters were fabulous too, and my jaw totally dropped that one time.<br />Great review.Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877379041758656043.post-70514403436952308872013-02-04T00:19:40.347-08:002013-02-04T00:19:40.347-08:00Great review!
