Unfortunately I did not like this book at all!!!! It was so hard for me to finish this book. I thought the characters were underdeveloped and the entire plot was almost rushed and not really well thought out. I did not enjoy this book.
december 2010 group read for Fantasy and vampire book club i liked this book. i struggled with the constant POV change a lot. but i got used to it(mainly due to the heading at the start).i loved how it told you how hot it was as well.Sam and Grace's romance was so sweet. you had a bit of role reveral going on. as Sam was like a female all sensitive and mooshy. Grace was the MAN. but other than that it was really cute. i loved the surprise attack...i awwwed at that.
3.5Realmente era lo que esperaba, un romance dulce , lleno de trágicos anhelos y con una base sobrenatural creativa, aunque demasiado increible. Lo único que detesté es como Maggie Stiefvater desarrolla las figuras paternas, todos son demasiado problemáticos.
[Spoiler free section]This is my first book by Maggie Stiefvater and I went into it without any expectations, I was just here for a good ol' werewolf romance time. I think she mostly delivered on that. Though I'm hoping there is more werewolf plot in the second book. I'm giving it four instead of five stars, because personally there was something about the writing or maybe the plot that didn't have me in a chokehold. It's still a good book and I enjoyed myself, but there was just something about it that didn't make it amazing for me personally. I am however looking forward to Maggie's other books and hope that this was just a case of the book being early on in her career. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes werewolves, sweet boys with tragic backstories and in general a more slice of life tone with some added stakes and drama in the latter half of the book.[Spoilers from this point]I wished the beginning was a bit more elaborate. I prefer slowburn romances and it didn't necessarily had to be a lot of slow burn, but just a few more chapters of Grace and Sam longing for each other.I enjoyed the dual POV, I wish more books (that I'm into) had that. But I have to say that Sam's POV was much more interesting. Not that I dislike Grace, I think she was fine, but that's about it. Nothing special, but she didn't need to be. It still worked, Sam was really cute, their relationship was wholesome (although I hard cringed at him being a "musician" and thinking of lyrics at times. To be fair that's a me problem, I just think musicians are cringey and not romantic, but if you're into that you'll love this).My biggest compliment to this book is how unique the werewolf mythology is, at least I've never read a story about werewolves that change because of temperature. I thought that was really cool, as well as the fact that at some point the werewolves just stay wolves. Adds great stakes to an otherwise slice of life-y story. Beck and the others essentially homeschooling Sam was really cute, I loved that little bit of backstory. In general I thought Sam's backstory was tragic, but interesting. He's just a good character all around. Shoutout to Isabel as well, loved her lol!
