Review: The Whispering Night by Susan Dennard

The Whispering Night The Whispering Night by Susan Dennard
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was provided an ALC of this book via Netgalley, all opinions are my own.

Overall I really loved this series, and this is a fitting conclusion to Winnie Wednesday's story.  This installment was my least favorite of the three in the trilogy.  I felt like the story was a bit scattered and the plot jumped around alot.  Certain lines are repeated over and over again as Winnie tries to figure out what is going on in Hemlock Falls and save her loved ones.  The pacing was inconsistent, and there were parts where I was super interested when things were action packed and fast paced and parts where my interest waned as the plot dragged.

As I listened to this on audio, I found this hard to follow at times when Winnie was reciting countdowns or timestamps different situations, that probably made more sense in print and didn't translate well to audio.  The narrator was great and did a great job otherwise.  

Again this is a fitting conclusion to the trilogy and I feel it wrapped things up nicely.  This is a great series or YA readers as things don't get to graphic or gory when it comes to the fighting or the romance.  This is a great mix of fantasy, romance, and mystery.  There are great discussions about self-discovery, vulnerability, fitting in, friendship, and family.  There is plenty of action to keep the reader interested and now that the series is finished you can read all three books with out waiting to find out what happens next.
