samidhak 's review for:
The Scorpio Races
by Maggie Stiefvater
This book was the most beautiful love letter slash fantasy fiction mixed into one, and what’s best: it was a love letter written for my favourite animal; horses.
I can’t believe I was sleeping on this masterpiece for so long only because I loathed the shiver series to bits and thought the author could do no good. How wrong I was, and I have since admitted my fault. But honestly, I didn’t even skim one single page of this book and that’s a huge feat for me, because lately I’ve started feeling like fantasy fiction makes me roll my eyes at almost every “high stakes” situation. Although this book, this book is golden. Best romance, best set up, best character development. Some bits did seem a bit trance like to me though, specially when Puck and Johnathan (?) are in the festival looking for Gabe and she describes Johnathan as getting taller each time he searched for her brother, and there were some other sentences that made me really creeped out, and made me think that there was no actual point to that part. After I read it, I went back to the scene and realised that I had no idea why that scene was put into the book in the first place.
However, except that one detail this book, in my opinion, is flawless. Highly recommend.
