blueshadow 's review for:

The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
4.0

My star rating probably doesn't reflect how much I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book - I loved it enough that it may even deserve 5 stars, only lacking the 'I want to reread this' aspect that I typically require for a 5 star rating.

Minimum angst coming of age and understated romance and mythic horses in an almost believable setting (everything except, if this is a tiny island and the water horses really kill that many people & animals, and so many people leave, how is ANYONE still there?) Beautiful writing.
