My Second Post
I finished Seraphina the day after I got it. It was really good and I just couldn't put it down. It was really well written and creative and I definitely recommend it to people who like fantasy. I don't want to give away too much of the plot so I won't say that much more about the book. Not that I really think anyone's reading this, but I don't know, maybe someone will google Seraphina because they want to learn more about it and stumble upon my blog accidentally and see my spoiler and I could totally ruin it for that person. So yeah. Anyway, now I'm reading Linger by Maggie Steifvater. It's the sequel to Shiver. It's really good. It's about werewolves. Don't worry, random googler who happened upon this blog, I'm not giving anything away. You find out about the wolves in practically the first chapter. I know that nowadays, when people mention werewolves, people instantly think of Twilight. Relax, it's nothing like Twilight. It's actually well-written, with a good plot, likable characters and no vampires. It's a love story. Anyway, the first book was great and now I'm almost halfway through the second, and loving it. The one thing I have a problem with is that the point of view will change between the main characters. In the first book, it was easier to keep track of because there were only two narrators, the main girl character, Grace, and the main werewolf, Sam. In Linger, it gets more complicated because the perspective switches between four people: Grace, Sam, Isabel and Cole. Isabel was in Shiver, but not one of the main characters like she is in this book. Cole is a new character so it was confusing at first but I'm starting to like him. I guess it's not that confusing, more like frustrating since I will get really excited about one story and then it will suddenly switch. I'm getting the hang of it though. I really recommend the series.
