It’s not a direct sequel but it does take place in the same book world and at the very end a few characters overlap. It’s been a while since I read Boneshaker but I do think Dreadnought may actually be a little better. The performance was so pitch perfect that I’ll continue with the series on audio. I wasn’t sure how she’d handle the steampunk action that I expected. Reading’s narration but I’ve only listened to her reading fiction that is more directly targeted to women. When I realized that Kate Reading was the narrator, I wasn’t quite sure what to think. I downloaded it on audio but read the first in print. I really enjoyed Boneshaker so I had high hopes for this book. Duty and curiosity win out and she sets out via dirigible and then train to hopscotch her way across the country. That’s quite a trek away from Richmond, Virginia, especially given the state of the country. Shortly after she receives word that he died in a POW camp, she receives a telegram notifying her that her long-estranged father is very sick and asking for her to come see him in Tacoma, Washington. She’s a nurse for the Confederacy but her husband is a soldier in the Union. ![]() Like many people, she has torn loyalties.

I enjoy ambiguous endings, which is why Forever worked so well for me. Thus, when it was announced that Stiefvater was re-visiting this series, but not Mercy Falls, I was both eager and more than a little anxious. ![]() I loved it in a way I hadn't loved the previous installments of this series not quite as much as The Scorpio Races but so, so close. And, unlike most readers, I found Forever to be the pinnacle of perfection. Not only with Sam and Grace, but with Maggie Stiefvater as well. But just a matter of months later, I was in the mood for Sam and Grace and their ridiculously uneven love story, so I picked up the novel again, opened its spine, and fell head-over-heels in love. I couldn't finish Shiver the first time I picked it up I disliked it that much. When it comes to The Wolves of Mercy Falls Series, I have a unique relationship-to say the least.
