Upon reread I find myself even more in love with this book than I was initially. Objectively, I can see the flaws in it (particularly, as many others have noted, the plot leaves something to be desired); however, this book (and the series as a whole) hits on so many of my specific loves (sentient forests, found family, matriarchal family structures, lyrical writing, creepy little towns etc...) that those flaws don't really bother me. I love this world and these characters so much, and I'm so excited to continue my reread of the series and finally get to the spin off.

Initial Response
Oh. My. Gosh. I LOVE THIS BOOK SO STINKING MUCH.

High Lights
- Okay, so I can't coherently put my thoughts together, so I'm just going to be really basic and say I LOVE EVERYTHING.
- THE CHARACTERS. AGGGHHH.
- THE SETTING. PHENOMENAL.
- THE WRITING STYLE. SOOOOO GORGEOUS AND I'M IN LOVE AND I WANT TO READ EVERY MAGGIE STIEFVATER BOOK THERE IS NOW.
- so yeah everything pretty much.

Low Lights
- Not of fan of the swearing, but that's a minor detail that doesn't ruin the story for me.

Conclusion
Wow, so was that even a review? XD No, not really, but GUYS. THE WRITING STYLE IS MAGICAL. IT WILL SUCK YOU IN. I'm so glad I gave this book a shot, because I'VE FOUND A NEW FAVORITE. Sorry for this ranting, explosive, caps-locked filled nonsense. XD Please, just reeeead the booook.
