 ~*~Princess Nya Vasiliev~*~ I loved it. I actually loved the whole series. I was surprised by how much I liked it though. But when I read it, it was just supposed to be a Trilogy. So I read the 1st 3 books. I see a book 4 has been released now.


Violet Hmm. I started it a very long while ago. I remember I liked it. But I did skip pages, there were these lapses of boredom which I just did n't care to trot through. I never really felt persuaded or compelled to keep reading further on in the series, and after reading a dozen or so books after, that year, I never did continue the series. Don't really regret my decision :)


Kelly I read it a couple years ago. I read the rest of the trilogy, so I guess I thought it was pretty good. I just now found out about the fourth. I think I liked the plot and main characters, but didn't like one of the other characters and didn't like his story. I don't skip pages, but I might have been bored for a couple.


Emily Teitsworth I read this book, but it was the only one in the series that I ended up reading. I didn't like it much, because I thought it had a cliche plot and the characters were overall pretty flat. I did like the imagery though, but there were a few times the book just lost my attention.


Diamond Weatherspoon it was one of my favorite book series ever..but i got to admit. i was kinda disapointed at the end of the last book.


Ilana i read it a long time ago so i don't know that my thoughts are uber current, but what i find to be interesting, is that overall even after the massive amount of stuff i've read since, i still remember the basic premise - so that means that it had to be decent. I feel like i really enjoyed the first one and then the next 2 were decent as well - maybe not amazing, but good anyhow.

still worthwhile to read. there've been some in the genre that i have to push myself to read and even skip through but i don't recall that being the case here.


Leah I thought this book was good, but I didn't think it was fantastic. It got a little slow at points, but overall, I thought it was a pretty interesting story because it wasn't what I expected it to be.


Aneesha I agree


Baillie Sears I thought it was a good, light read.


Crystal Hasemann I did not like this book. Some of the story line was great, but most of it made me want to hit the people in the book. I will not be reading the rest of the series.


Mochaspresso I only read the first book. I wasn't a fan of it and didn't feel inclined to continue with the rest of the series.


Deanna It was a good, fun read. I really love Maggie Stiefvater's writing. I would highly suggest The Raven Cycle series. It's one of my favorites.

Holly Wood I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the other books in the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy. It depends on the types of books you like to read and what topics interest you. :)


Katelyn Hughes I read this book in I think 6th grade? Anyways, my 6th grade mind loved every second of it.


Christine This book series is not great. That being said I actually enjoyed it. If your not in the mood for anything serious or that involves actually using your brain this series is perfect. I read this series during finals last year and it was the perfect outlet. Its fluffy, simple, and not well developed, and sometimes thats perfect

Raj connor oh i think its really a good book i read it in my 8th grade. and i found it interesting!

This book is absolutely amazing! It was my fave book for a long time! People who love wolves and mystery should definitely read it...also the book is never boring and well written.

Paul Andrews I personally loved this book and devoured the entire trilogy as soon as the rest came out. Love Maggie's writing style and characters. The premise is a fresh take on werewolves. I hear the movie rights have been bought up and its in development!


Sherlock-Lover I hated it. It was absolutely boring. I skipped pages, I put the book down for two months. There was so little action in it. I thought it was sweet at first but then I found myself wondering when there was going to be a fight or even a shred of action. Maggie's other books were good but I think this was a failure. But that's just my opinion. If you all like it than okay

Savannah Silver It has been a few years since I read it but I do remember I liked it.


Joshua I read it like 5 years ago and really liked it. But that was when i was younger and my tastes have changed, so I think maybe a younger person below 18 maybe.


Amanda Curless Anyone else feel like a completely different author wrote this series? I loved the Raven Cycle and then I started reading Shiver and I was totally surprised. I thought it was awful compared to the Raven Cycle.


Annie I loved this series....Book one was beautiful...book two...was just ok...and book three was really good....the series as a whole was well worth my time....and I cant wait to read Sinner!


Serena i loved shiver i read it in practically 3 days it was such a page turner. 2 and 3 wernt as exciting but im not one to read book 1 and neglect the rest of the series haha

chey I read most of this book but I skipped a lot of pages and basically rolled my eyes constantly. It's an overdone plot and she didn't even do it well. I didn't even try the other books. I hated this book.
