Customer Reviews

Best book ever.

I would die for this book, best book i’ve ever read. no sarcasm. everyone should read this. but little deserve it. humanity isn’t ready for how much of a true masterpiece this book is. it should be taught in schools instead of Shakespeare. It changed my life. thank you Maggie Stievater, for spinning this beautiful tapestry of a story.

Honestly, the best author.

I added this book to my cart to get free shipping. It was cheap and looked cool and if I’m really being honest with myself, I haven’t been that into reading for a long time so I thought I wasn’t going to finish it. This is book one of a four part series (five if you include the short story Opal that takes place after the final book) and each one is approximately 400+ pages long. I finished the entire series in a week and a half along with school and work and chores. I could not put it down. The characters are basically real people, the concept is fascinating, the author is a sarcastic goddess, and just buy it. Maggie Stiefvater has restored my love of reading again and she’ll do the same for you.

so captivating!!
