Overview:

A spellbinding novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Maggie Stiefvater.

Some race to win. Others race to survive.

It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line.

Some riders live.

Others die.

At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, he keeps them buried deep, where no one else can see them.

Puck Connolly is different. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. But fate hasn't given her much of a choice. So she enters the competition - the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen.

Review:

In honor of November, today's blog post is about The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater. This is a truly thrilling book that centers on racing. Horse racing. On very wild, very bloodthirsty, very vicious water horses. Mostly I'm writing this blog post because "It is the first day of November and so, today, someone will die." You know, the typical seasonal holiday event. Or not.

In any case, I loved this book. It beguiled me into its pages, forcing my undivided attention, to the point where I could not possibly ever tear myself away from it. The novel was dangerous, enchanting, and everything about it was a fight to survive to the very end. Reading the novel, we were all racing. Kate "Puck" Connolly, Sean Kendrick, the other riders, and the reader, racing to the finish line to see who would live and who would die.

This is a book with so very much potential. Can't wait to see what becomes of it.

And hey...

You know you want to read it.
