stephfafahh 's review for:
Linger
by Maggie Stiefvater
“Here we were again. Always saying goodbye”
.
It was pretty unnecessary for a sequel - and the cliffhanger was annoyingly predictable. It didn’t feel like it fit after then ending in “Shiver” at all
.
I liked the fresh points of view - they really helped to flesh out the story, and really helped me make it through it. But forgive me for asking - if this is a series about wolves, where are they? Why does the author only reference them howling in the distance, or walking around the human characters as they miss the humans their fur contains
.
I couldn’t wrap my head around Grace’s parents suddenly switching on the authoritarian switch. It made their romance the typical ~~*forbidden fruit*~~, he’s a bad influence, you’re our perfect child, even though we almost killed you trope. It felt very forced and unnatural - and really numbed me to the storyline. It isn’t even a relationship worth fighting for - they don’t acknowledge their pasts, their futures, or the fact the Grace is LITERALLY dying. And if she’s on the precipice of death, and we’re expected to believe that there isn’t a single medical staff member that is by her side? How did they make it past her family?
.
The writing was amazing, but I just couldn’t help but dislike what was written. The book spoils itself for you on the first page, and plot wasn’t thick or suspenseful enough to make me love it
