Book Review: "The Scorpio Races" by Maggie Stiefvater
Just finished reading Maggie Stiefvater's "The Scorpio Races" and it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! :D I've never really read a horse book before and that was totally fine as this book was fantastic!!! :D I've always loved Maggie's books and her "Shiver" series is one of my all-time favorites, and now this book is on that list as well!!! :D I love this whole story and what Maggie did with the Irish water horse mythology and created this fictional Irish island and their race!!! :D I loved Sean and Kate (I just can't call her Puck LOL) and their romance was amazing!!! :D Not to mention the horses Coor and Dove!!! :D The supporting characters of Finn, Gabe, Dory Maude and her sisters, George Holly, Tommy Faulk, Father Mooneyham, and all of island residents good or bad were so well written. Maggie is one of my favorite writers and this book proved it!!! :D It was so action packed, scary at times, moving, and romantic!!! :D Being part Irish myself I also loved it for that reason. ;) I'm also very happy Warner Brothers bought the film rights as when I started reading this I strongly felt this is going to be a movie!!! :D And I can't wait for it!!! :D
