The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Brilliant. Gorgeous. Frightening. Fierce.
The definition of love. The explanation of longing. The reason why humanity is enthralled by that which cannot be tamed or owned. The exploration of loss. The justification for facing down fears and having courage in light of unimaginably poor odds. The argument for both digging up your roots and letting them grow deeper. This story is everything all at once.
