It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. Some riders live. Others die. At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, ...
There really wasn't a thing I liked about Stiefvater's Shiver series, so I pretty much expected to hate this as well. Not so, my friends, not so! Part of it (and the reason I put this on my TBR list, despite hating everything I'd ever read from the author) is that I love the idea of water horses. I ...
This was a pretty good book. I really liked the characters, and I really felt like the story could be real. The first half of the book didn't have a lot of non-stop action, but that was a nice change for my tastes. The second half of the book had a few " Wow! Did that just happen?" moments. My only...
Initially, I found this book a little hard to get into. The more I read though, the more I enjoyed and by the end of it I had tears going down my cheeks. A very good read and I recommend it. I enjoy the romance between Sean/Puck as well. They learn to like each other, it's not an instant obsession b...

I thought a great job was done in capturing their personalities and why they would be drawn ...

4-4.5 StarsIn the audiobook version, Sean is read by Steve West.Who kinda sounds like Richard Armitage.My panties. Consider them dropped.(i.e. it's basically decided now that I need to listen to the audiobook instead of reading the book myself.)---Emoticons relevant to this review:
Originally posted at Gypsy ReviewsMaggie Stiefvater blew me away with The Raven Boys and I had been told by many that The Scorpio Races was much more fast-paced, however it was not. Despite Stiefvater’s beautiful writing and a fantastic plot, it was really kind of boring due to its slow pace.Puck’s ...
