Maybe I didn’t like the way the story told. I honestly can’t think of any other way it could have gone. The overall story was good and intriguing. Isabel and Cole were the same, fickle and snarky, yet at times redeemable. Their roles were reversed this time and it was interesting to see the difference in their perspectives. Sam was a poetic, loyal, and charming boyfriend while Grace remained cute, smart, and independent. No, Stiefvater’s prose were as eloquent as always and the tone continued to be distinctly bittersweet with a hint of melancholy. That aside, Forever seemed to lack the magic, the je ne sais quoi, that had made me swoon over the first two. It might be because I tend to like the first few books in a series way more than I like the last one. Only, I didn’t love Forever the way I did the previous two and I can’t exactly explain why. I adored Shiver and Linger, the first two book Wolves of Mercy Falls series, and I’ve been looking forward to reading Forever for awhile.
