I really liked the exploration of our characters and the way their story wrapped up. It was a fun ride.

this one was bitter sweet in a way. I reallyanted Beck to come out this thing alive, so Sam and him could owrk out their issues, but i guess it wasn't in the cards.

Well, I was going to give this four stars when I was around page 340, then I changed my mind to three stars when Cole "died," then I went back to four when we found out he was still alive. My mood was still sour when he and Isabel didn't really end up together, but it didn't affect me enough to change the rating again.

Compared to Linger, this book was golden. Grace was much more bearable and Sam was a little less mopey. The thing that saved Linger was Isabel's and Cole's dynamic, and I'm glad that dynamic stayed afloat for this book, too.

I have to say that I'm still not very emotionally invested in these books. I didn't really care whether the wolves lived or died, to be honest (Cole aside). When characters died (again, Cole aside) I felt absolutely nothing. No sadness. No elation. Nothing. Nada. So, that's the only thing that bugged me. I really didn't care about the main objective, and that made this book kind of boring for me.

Stiefvater's writing was very poetic and beautiful throughout the whole series, and it was another something that kept me reading. She has a way of crafting sentences that both sound and look good. I really think she should be a poet, though, not a novelist. I have no issue with her being a novelist, and I don't think she should stop being one, but I really think she would thrive in poetry and free verse. Just sayin'.

All in all, it was a fitting ending to the series. I'm neither thrilled by it nor disappointed by it. It was just okay - just like the rest of the series.

WORST BOOK EVER! The author completely changes the story on you and it makes no sense

Lovely story, but the ending left somethings unanswered and didn’t feel truly complete. Also Isabel’s character was ripped to shreds in this as she became only a love interest and not her own person. This book could have been made into two separate stories that would have given a proper ending.

I've felt sort of indifferent about the Wolves of Mercy Falls series. The wolves-and-humans love thing is a little out there to me and the characters seemed to fall flat in my opinion, but something made me keep reading. The ultimate ending was fairly predictable, but I wanted to see how it got there and there were some interesting twists along the way. When I'd finished the trilogy, I felt about the same as I did all along--it was entertaining, but I definitely won't read it again or even think much about it after this.

So amazing! The first two books were awesome but the third book did such a good job of tieing everything together. Although near the end something sad happens it's completely righted in the end. Everyone should read the final book of the wolves of mercy falls trilogy !!
