The mix of history and magical realism was a unique combination for me. It made me want to go to West Virginia.

I love me any book that makes me want to learn more about that time period (especially if some magical realism is involved) and Stiefvater’s writing flows gently, drawing you in despite the tension of the time.

Will try this at a later time. The start is slow and I don't care enough about the characters to ant to pick this up.
