scythefranz 's review for:
The Scorpio Races
by Maggie Stiefvater
I like The Scorpio Races but I can't deny the fact that it bored me, luckily, not most of the time. It started to hold my attention and interest, at first, and I am happy about it.
Then, after some time, the capture-effect of the book is gradually fading away I don't know why. Maybe, it was really slow-paced, stalling the inevitable(?) by supplying a lot of conflicts to build up the story. I mean these conflicts are necessary but the way it has been told did not gear up my interest.
Yes, Maggie writes beautifully but I don't know what went wrong (maybe my poor understanding lol). But as I've said I still like it since it really showed the different aspects/faces of: life, (the essence and the reality of it), dreams (and how to reach them and make them happen), persistence and determination, love and friendship and whatnot that truly left a mark in me.
And nevertheless, I like the main characters, Sean Kendrick and Puck Connolly, to be honest.
