The Raven Boys - Maggie Stiefvater

Hi!

There's a new book coming out written by Maggie Stiefvater who wrote the lovely Shiver trilogy and The Scorpio Races which I spoke about them all here.
I was searching for new books and found out this new one by one of the authors I read more from. Is schedule to be released on September 18th.
Here's the cover:

Maggie Stiefvater - The Scorpio Races

Hello!

I've been reading this for the last 3 nights and now it's done.

In case you don't remember or don't know Maggie Stiefvater wrote the Shiver trilogy. I read the 3 books and posted individually my opinion or review or whatever you want to call it. Even though my post on Forever is little... let's just say "incomplete". But just so you know I finished it 1 day after.

I found this book by accident. I wasn't aware of a new book written by the same author as Shiver but when I had an opportunity I caught mine and, well, read it.
At the beginning is a bit boring, to be completely honest but maybe that was because I don't like very much to read about horses... But when the story starts to unfold it becomes very interesting and captivating. When the important day, which is the day when they race, starts to approach it becomes less boring. And talking about the race, it's probably the longest and toughest race ever. At this point I was 100% caught in storyline that when I was at this part/chapter I was tired. Well, no tired like breathless but you know what I mean...
So, yeah, I did enjoy it very much. If you haven't already, try to find your copy and tell me your opinion ;)

I have no idea if there is going to be a sequel or not but by the closure I would say it is possible.

Here's the animated trailer:

Maggie Stiefvater - Forever

Hi!

No I did not read it all already.

I am/was halfway and did something I should've known I should not do: pause the page I'm in and go read the last page of the book. I hate doing it and in the last ones I read I didn't do it and didn't even remember because there was no need, but now I was so axious about this being the last book in the series that I really wanted to know how it'd end.
I have to say - without saying too much - that I didn't like what I read and then I don't know if I understood everything. Well the thing is now i don't think I will end it today or tomorrow, because I'm stupid and feel like desappointment, like I was betrayed.

And I was kind of dumb because the cover says it all but I thought it was the beginning or something like that.

I'm going to end this post saying I'm a lover of happy endings in the books. In films I can work with a bad end or sad end but books, no. I just can't.

Maggie Stiefvater - Linger

Hello!

This one was definitely less then 24h.

So after Shiver comes Linger.

100% complete.

I wrote yesterday that I thought this was more dramatic and then I said maybe no. Well, yes! 

Linger has way more problems and emotions and feelings mixed up that I can say I ended it tired. More characters featuring the usual and more human-wolf and vise-versa situations. If Shiver has some breathtaking parts, Linger doesn't stand far in the back at all. Some parts are really sweet and romantic but when it comes to "real" parts well, hold on tight because if you're into the story you'll suffer as they do.

Starting Forever tonight. The last book in The Wolves Of Mercy Falls series. After all of so much events in the previously book I don't know what can be worst or better for Grace and Sam. When the reader reads the end of the second book it's obviously understandable what's going to happen or what's going Forever be about, but how?

I'm seriously obsessed with this books.

Maggie Stiefvater - Shiver

Heya!

I was wanting to read this book for quite sometime.

If I count all the hours I think would be a day I took to read it all but I had to sleep so it wasn't really 24h straight.
I have to say it was very surprising. I new it featured wolfs and I was kind of hesitating because of all the Twilight thing and stuff but nothing compares to that. Nothing.
One thing I really liked was Maggie approaches several sensitive topics with such a subtlety that the reader don't even notice how serious and important it is. Yeah, really liked.
It's easy to read, the vocabulary is simple. The characters are very well described and made me think I could be one of them or know one of them, like be friends or family.
Totally recommended.
If you want more info go here.

Now I'm reading the second - Linger. I'm not gonna tell anything about the storyline but I think so far this is a little more dramatic, I mean... You know what? actually at second thought I think it has the same level of drama, after all I'm in the beginning.

So excited about this series.
