This first book is far more plot heavy than The Raven Cycle ever was, and the atmosphere is less in your face; both of which are facts I think may lower this book in some readers minds. However, for me the selling point of this world has always been the characters, and on that front Stiefvater has lost none of her charm. I will admit I miss the the old cast terribly, but by the books end I found myself deeply attached to the new characters introduced here, and very invested in the story itself. I'm really looking forward to book 2.
