![]() ![]() ![]() They’re stuck right in the middle of Sam and Grace’s story, and the intrusiveness of losing momentum in every other chapter as the story switched to their first person POVs became an increasingly frustrating experience. ![]() If they had an entirely different book to themselves I probably would like them better-but they don’t. I like them just fine, even though they are both just typical YA characters that can be found in 100 other novels. I am far less interested in Isabel and Cole. The knowledge that they will lose every shard of awareness of who they are moves me unbearably, and Sam and Grace together are unlike any other couple I’ve ever read. Aside from the bittersweet urgency of the romance, one of the most poignant elements in the books to me has been the wolves’ desperate struggle to hang onto their human selves. The Wolves of Mercy Falls series is love story told almost like a fairy tale. How strange it is, then, to read Forever and experience nothing even close to the emotions the first two books inspired. I felt Linger had its problems, mostly in the diluted narrative with the addition of two more POVs, but it was still extremely moving and I wanted to see what happened next. Shiver tears my heart in two every single time I read it. This is probably the hardest review I’ve ever had to write. ![]()
