Nach Dem Sommer/Ruht Das Licht/In Deinen Augen (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Plot: Some of us may feel annoyed about reading about a girl falling in love with a werewolf so soon after Twilight, but the books deal with the fantasy aspects in unique ways, and like Stephanie Meyer, Stiefvater changes some of the old legends and creates her own. Also, the story is not just love—there are some action-packed bits too. After Shiver, the books lose the similarities with Twilight, new characters/romances are introduced, and it all gets less cheesy.Writing: Alternating, first-person viewpoints between the girl and the wolf. My only difficulty was distinguishing between their two voices, but this was a minor issue. The writing flowed well, and there were no grammatical errors, but there was an abundance of metaphors, some good and others downright strange and somewhat distracting. Still, the writing style was gripping and addictive.Characters:Grace is somewhat of a “Bella” character, comparing to Twilight. Her parents are oblivious, she is great at school but does not seem to have much passion (until Sam of course), and she lives in a tiny, isolated area of the United States. But she is a much stronger, smarter person than Bella Swan. Sam the werewolf has a “dreamy” personality, and he loves music. He is very easy to empathize with. This boyfriend and girlfriend never really develop, but the minor characters Isabel and Cole do, getting gradually less messed up as the series goes on.Themes:Life is good, love is good, werewolf is good, YAY! This series is much more for fun and much less for deep thought than some. IN CONCLUSION, despite its imperfections, this trilogy is quite fun to read, and unlike many series, the middle book, Forever, is the best one. Read this if you like supernatural and can deal with romance or if you like romance and can deal with supernatural. this series of books were awesome they just simply rocked!!!the first one (Shiver) in my eyes was the best it was an amazing and touching book that will probly still be around in years from now.the second one (Linger) was super good but i still think that the first one was just breath taking,this one may not have been as good in my eyes but it was still a realy good book that made a nice conyinueation to the first one!The last one (Forever) well the title was not that original but still all together a okay book i didn't realyenjoy this book as much i didn't feel a need to keep reading it,i think she should have maybe kept us wanting more like sort of once and a while leave us hanging so your like omg i have too see what happens but still in the end this book was great and i love how she finished of the wolves of mercy falls series and i couldn't ask for a better ending for this series so i am presenting this book with 3 gold stars well done it was my pleasure too read this series and i hope you will agree with me
