Books 83 - 85

I just finished Maggie Stiefvater's "Wolves of Mercy Falls" trilogy, and I have to say that I feel like she's grown so much as an author since she wrote these. They're still beautiful, with lots of short zippy chapters and shifting points-of-view that keep the story moving along, but having read The Scorpio Races first, I can see the clear development of her skill. I'd still recommend these to people who like YA novels, but I don't think these were her best work. I have her newest, The Raven Boys, on request at the library, and I hope it's as good as The Scorpio Races.
