Maggie Stiefvater

3.97 AVERAGE

medium-paced

The magic of her other books is absent.  Characters are flat.

I’m not usually a fan of historical fiction, but it’s Maggie and has added magic, so I gave it a shot. I am so glad I did! This book is absolutely riviting. There’s so mych mystery and intrigue, and it’s clear how much research and love was put into it. Absolutely amazing.

DID NOT FINISH: 8%

All the talk about the book, it never mentioned luxuries for Nazis. About at page 29 you learn what the book is truly about (which is a long way from what was promised during all the talk prior to publication) and not something I’m interested in.
