Meh, it was just okay for me. I've wanted to read Maggie Stiefvater for awhile and thought that this would be a good one to begin with. But, I felt that the narrative, though original for YA a bit boring. It involved a romance, but it didn't develop till near the end of the novel. Plus I couldn't un...
This review was originally posted on amazon on May 30, 2012: Maggie Stiefvater is a master wordsmith, and a lovely story-teller.I have previously read her Wolves of Mercy Falls series and her Gathering of Faerie series. In my opinion, this book leaves both of those series behind in terms of sheer ...
I have a lot of mixed feelings about this book. Though I enjoyed it much more than Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver series (which I honestly did not even finish - unusual for me). There are great characters in this book. But, that's the issue I had, its only really about the characters whereas I wanted it...
TW: Animal cruelty Most of my favorite books have something in common: Usually i find their beginnings somewhat strange, and a little hard to get into. It happened with Guy Gavriel Kay book "The Summer Tree", Sharon Fisher "Ghost Planet", Veronica Rossi, "Under The Never Sky" (whose first pages i ...
I’m a new transplant to BookLikes from Goodreads, and this book ... this amazing beautiful book is one of my prizes. Every time I look at my feed I end up purchasing yet another book I would have never found without those generous and thoughtful reviewers sharing their love of books. This was one ...
Stiefvater's lyrical language and ability to give immense detail without getting boring, is a beautiful thing. I can almost smell the beach and feel the sand between my toes as she describes the setting for Thisby. I wish that more time was spent on the actual races, but understand why she had to bu...
I would consider this a "must listen" book, which is rare. I have a feeling if I had read it myself I would have become bored, but the narrators on this were seriously so so soooo good, I could have listened to them read a grocery list and still enjoyed myself. If you are going to try this book, I h...
4.5 Stars“I didn't know," I start truthfully, "that it was the hard way when I started on it.”I’ve have never given a recommendation to specifically read or listen to book but I think for this one I will. I have found that the writing style of Maggie Stiefvater, it is slower and eloquent, lends its...
This book is amazing.It surprised me with its amazing-ness. I went in, drawn by the horse and rider on the cover and that alluring title and the promise of water horses.Water horses (Kelpies, aughisky, etc), are my favourite mythological creature. Forever and always. I've been in love with their myt...
