So eloquent! I didn't realize how much of a difficult read this might be, but I'm glad for your disclosure and that you still gave it five stars. I recently won this so I hope to get to it soon. Thanks for the stellar review.<br /><br />Amber<br /><a href="http://almybnenr.tumblr.com" rel="nofollow">The Musings of ALMYBNENR</a>Amber at The Musings of ALMYBNENRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963815851597145235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-61668693222723382672011-12-08T14:59:58.856-06:002011-12-08T14:59:58.856-06:00Since now it is to become a movie I must read this...Since now it is to become a movie I must read this book.

You picked out one thing I thoroughly agree with, though - the prose in this is truly fantastic, literary-fiction grade stuff. It's what pulled me in and made me stay, even though I haven't been a Stiefvater fan in the past.<br /><br />Great review!Ceceliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249223364936344560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-16414216655544399082011-12-06T18:33:37.124-06:002011-12-06T18:33:37.124-06:00Oh, I so agree with you!

I really appreciate this review--I've read a lot of glowing praise, which I'm sure it deserves, but I feel as though I've a better idea of what to expect now :)<br /><br />My copy arrived a couple of weeks ago--so looking forward to reading it.Sarah (saz101)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08936602748682093150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-38484813149746799302011-12-06T17:27:34.893-06:002011-12-06T17:27:34.893-06:00Thanks for the great review!

I totally agree that Maggie is on the border of literary fiction, and I think this is her most literary novel to date. It definitely does take a while to emotionally connect-it's not an easy read to begin with, I didn't actually like Puck for a while! If you stick with it though it is super rewarding! Totally agree about Puck and Sean's relationship too..I really really enjoyed this and I'm so glad you did too.<br /><br /><a href="http://thecaitfiles.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"> The Cait Files </a>Caithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185442524972510158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-57525089087727945152011-12-06T16:13:43.094-06:002011-12-06T16:13:43.094-06:00Ooh I still have to pick this one up I really enjo...Ooh I still have to pick this one up I really enjoyed her Shiver series and regardless of the mixed opinions going by your review i'm pretty sure it'd be one of those who like it! :)<br /><br />Giselle<br /><a href="http://www.xpressoreads.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Xpresso Reads</a>Gisellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953187386418088952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-72699862701475943822011-12-06T15:16:07.203-06:002011-12-06T15:16:07.203-06:00Yikes, I almost feel like shuddering because it to...Yikes, I almost feel like shuddering because it took me several attempts to get through JR, so knowing that this one is set up in a similar context is rather perplexing. I never like to think of reading as 'work'. Still, I love Stiefvater writing style. It's very literary without being overwhelming. <br /><br />Thanks for the beautiful review, Alison.

That was one of my favorite things about this one, the fact that their relationship felt so intense with hardly anything being said at all.

I agree that is sounds much more complex and completely different from the Wolves of Mercy series.
