Has anyone read these by Maggie Stiefvater? They look great! Young adult fantasy.

I love how Shiver is blue on the outside and the text for the whole book is blue, and Linger is green on the front and green text, and Forever is maroon! Simple things impress me happy.gif

Did you enjoy them? happy.gif

I've read the first one and thought it was good. Very teen though e.g. sneaking boys into bedroom so parents can't hear etc

If you like it, you might like Hush, Hush.

I have read this trilogy.

The end though was a real let down.

Did not resolve anything. It's like her publisher said a fourth book was not allowed so she decided to leave everything up in the air in case she returns to the trilogy.

I think you could almost read the first book as a stand alone so I highly recommend the first book.

I've read them - I really enjoyed them, and didn't think the third book was a let down. I just checked my Goodreads review to be sure and I gave it 3 stars.

I do agree that it seems very teen though, in that Grace's parents are neglectful, and Sam doesn't have any, so that rules out inconvenient storyline halts (like in Twilight - Charlie is always out, so Bella doesn't have to deal with him too much).
