I was thinking I'd give this book a shot, in spite of the fact that it was compared to the Twilight series (which had a reasonably ok story, but terrible writing--like a "Mary Jane" fanfic...).

I LOVED it. Kept me hooked from the first page, and I couldn't put it down. I love the concept of Maggie Stiefvater's fae. I loved her writing, and it didn't come off as so terribly self-indulgent as Twilight.

I can't wait to read "Ballad" and see what happens to James. I can't wait to read "Shiver." I will continue to look forward to reading whatever Ms. Stiefvater publishes in future.

This one stays in the collection. Sorry, folks. ;)
