My Review:
I’m so sad that this series is over! I feel like Sam and Grace have been a part of me since I Shiver. I loved how Sam and Grace’s relationship developed in Forever. I especially loved how Isabel has changed as a person; she’s not as annoying to me anymore. Forever took me a long time to read though. I’m not sure if it’s because I didn't want it to end or if it was because it was slightly boring. It felt like I was always waiting for something to happen, but it never did. However, if there’s any book series that I would like to just read about the characters’ daily lives it would be The Wolves of Mercy Falls because of Maggie Stiefvater’s exquisite writing. It’s so simple and yet so beautiful. I’m not exactly impressed with how it ended. I expected more of the major plot points to come to a close instead of being left to the reader’s imagination. All in all, Forever was a glorious book that I’m sure will be in the heart of readers forevermore.
