A review by kath_hancock
The Listeners by Maggie Stiefvater

5.0

You know when you read a book and you feel like it was written for you? Like specifically for you? This. This book was written for me :)

Editing after reading other reviews - it has been downvoted for all the things people hoped/wished it would be but at no point did the author claim it was, which I feel is unfair. No, it's not a YA book. No it's not the Raven Cycle. No, it's not a romance novel. Yes, there are many descriptive parts. I'm guessing those folks that complained it is too slow are slow readers. I thought it was perfect pacing, even slowed myself down in parts because the writing was so luscious and I knew I'd only get to read it for the first time once.
