From Goodreads:
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 chance. So she enters the competition — the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen.
Why you should read this book: Well, first of all, it's written by Maggie Stiefvater, and if you've read anything by her, you know this book will be amazing. I had the opportunity to read this book several months ago, and I still can't get it out of my brain. It's gorgeous, moving, exciting, and not like anything else out there right now. Really. THE SCORPIO RACES belongs in a category all to itself. It's just a fabulous read. Just read it. You won't be disappointed!
OOOH, I'm so excited to read this. My super awesome CP had Maggie sign a copy for me at her LA signing, but she's holding it hostage until I finish my revision. Must. Finish. Revision!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I saw on Twitter that the book has been optioned as a movie. I'm so excited for her and can't wait to read this.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more. I adore this book, totally entranced me. I cared so much about the characters I even cried at the end.
