I don't think I've read too many negative or mixed reviews for her stuff at all.Ashley @ Book Labyrinthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395484656811182553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-25512945548752688482012-11-26T16:15:21.449-05:002012-11-26T16:15:21.449-05:00Hmmm, no, I don't think so.

I guess if anything it made me want to re-read The Scorpio Races, because The Raven Boys reminded me how much I liked Maggie's ability to write slow-paced novels that still completely draw you in.Ashley @ Book Labyrinthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395484656811182553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-35056729084345790582012-11-26T16:14:41.075-05:002012-11-26T16:14:41.075-05:00No kidding, eh??

I've heard so many mixed reviews that I'm not sure what I would think. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Kristilyn (Reading In Winter)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12401451485460760416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-78151166445974979072012-11-25T03:06:25.080-05:002012-11-25T03:06:25.080-05:00Did reading The Raven Boys change how you felt abo...Did reading The Raven Boys change how you felt about this one?Alexis @ Reflections of a Bookaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745513625965620545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-20926209525406165472012-11-23T22:00:28.961-05:002012-11-23T22:00:28.961-05:00I love this book to pieces!!!

Quiet books...Oh yes, the atmosphere was fabulous!!<br /><br />Quiet books are kind of hit or miss for me. If it's intriguing and so gorgeously written like this one then I love settling in. If it's too literary and absolutely nothing is happening then I tend to get bored.Ashley @ Book Labyrinthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395484656811182553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-2579581265547334592012-11-23T13:48:37.836-05:002012-11-23T13:48:37.836-05:00I know, right?

And I absolutely adored the connection both Puck and Sean had with their horses.
