Maggie Stiefvater’s The Raven Cycle and the Magic of Virginian Nature

  At first I didn't want to read Maggie Stiefvater's The Raven Cycle because it seemed too different and strange from the Wolves of Mercy Falls Series, and I loved Shiver and it's sequels so much that I think I was afraid that nothing would be able to compare.  However, once I began reading The...
