The Scorpio Races
by Maggie Stiefvater
3.5
While I enjoyed this a good bit it doesn't quite warrant 4 for me. The writing is beautiful as it always is with Maggie. She really is superb at creating places as characters and evoking certain moods as atmosphere. I also enjoy her talent for creating flawed, not inherently likeable characters and yet making them immensely likeable to me. Everything is in place here to make this a great book, I think it just really comes down to personal taste more so than it even normally does for a book. I was rather surprised I liked a book about killer water horses at all so yay Maggie! Good job! Although, after The Raven Boys and The Dream Thieves I feel like it's just unfair to any book I read. They can't come close to topping that with me.
