A review by lmthompson
The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater

4.0

This was a beautiful novel, from the way it was written, to the characters, to the setting, and the races. When I first picked up this book, to be honest I expected something along the lines of the Hunger Games. But it's not like that at all. The biggest difference being that to ride in the races, you have have to chose ti sign up. It is like extreme jockeying, where you mount just might eat you or drown you. When it comes down to it all, I am delighted by this story, and if you are a fan of horses, Irish mythology, and three siblings just getting by, you should go read it.
