I liked this book, but it wasn't as sensational as its' predecessors. It was confusing at times, and often spaced. Maybe I got too used to Grace's perspective, because for a good chunk of the book, she doesn't have one.
I like Sam, Isabel, and Cole... but not enough to read a lot of parts from them.
The ending left me slightly upset, but that was resolved in the next chapter. **(**SMALL SPOILER ALERT HERE**)** The final battle (this really isn't a spoiler, you probably saw this coming) was very spacey for me, and I often had to look back and re-read multiple times (and maybe this is because I read fast when things get exciting, but I think it was sort of random and spacey. She tried to stuff all the issues in one big battle.)
It's worth the read, but it doesn't like up to Linger or, the book that started it all, Shiver.

I really liked the exploration of our characters and the way their story wrapped up. It was a fun ride.

this one was bitter sweet in a way. I reallyanted Beck to come out this thing alive, so Sam and him could owrk out their issues, but i guess it wasn't in the cards.

Well, I was going to give this four stars when I was around page 340, then I changed my mind to three stars when Cole "died," then I went back to four when we found out he was still alive. My mood was still sour when he and Isabel didn't really end up together, but it didn't affect me enough to change the rating again.
Compared to Linger, this book was golden. Grace was much more bearable and Sam was a little less mopey. The thing that saved Linger was Isabel's and Cole's dynamic, and I'm glad that dynamic stayed afloat for this book, too.
I have to say that I'm still not very emotionally invested in these books. I didn't really care whether the wolves lived or died, to be honest (Cole aside). When characters died (again, Cole aside) I felt absolutely nothing. No sadness. No elation. Nothing. Nada. So, that's the only thing that bugged me. I really didn't care about the main objective, and that made this book kind of boring for me.
Stiefvater's writing was very poetic and beautiful throughout the whole series, and it was another something that kept me reading. She has a way of crafting sentences that both sound and look good. I really think she should be a poet, though, not a novelist. I have no issue with her being a novelist, and I don't think she should stop being one, but I really think she would thrive in poetry and free verse. Just sayin'.
All in all, it was a fitting ending to the series. I'm neither thrilled by it nor disappointed by it. It was just okay - just like the rest of the series.
