Though The Scorpio Races was not my first introduction to Maggie Stiefvater, it is, perhaps, the first book of hers that I fully latched onto. Her stories are lyrical and deeply intriguing, forcing you slow down and savor rather than rushing through—even though you must know what happens.I am fascin...
Yeah, that's right. I just bought the paperback when I already had the first edition hardcover. Why, you say? Well Maggie was taunting me with all the goodies that are exclusive to this edition, like deleted scenes and interviews and recipes and stuff. Well the recipe is on her website, but I needed...
Whereas I was a very naive reader when I started Shiver, not expecting it to captivate me that much and certainly not expecting to be so.. desperate to read the sequels, I'm now much wiser and will act as if my reluctance to read The Scorpio Races is solely based on the fact that I don't want to wai...
I can easily wax lyrical about Maggie Stiefvater's books - the mysticism, the magical quality of the writing, the timeless story lines, realistic characters and poignant themes.

I had loved the first book, Shiver, but after that, each book went downhill. However, a few of you had commented th...
Blood-thirsty mythical horses emerge from the depths of the ocean and are captured to be "trained" for the Scorpio Races, a potentially lethal race that occurs on a beach in Thisby every November.Horses that KILL. The plot is obviously more complex than this, but I didn't need to know anything else ...
Audio Review:In the beginning of this story, it was quite slow. In fact, I had a hard time really getting into the flow of the book. At first, I thought it was the narrators Steve West (reading Sean's chapters) and Fiona Hardingham (reading Puck's chapters). Not because they were bad, but because th...
What a lovely book! The writing was lyrical, with gorgeous descriptions of the fictional island of Thisby, its people, and the capaill uisce. Part horse race, part awkward love story, part coming-of-age novel, you have to allow this book to draw you into the beautiful prose and just experience the...
