Stiefvater has an amazing imagination! This book felt so unique and original.

At first, I was a bit skeptical that the concept of a horse race could be very interesting. A magical one, maybe, but as I started reading it became apparent there isn't a lot of magic, so I was back to being skeptical. But as the book progressed, and we learnt more about the protagonists, the tension grew and I found I was no longer certain who would win, but knew I desperately wanted both characters to win.

The race itself was well written, exciting, and with amazing pacing. I was surprised. She kept the tension the entire time and I was living for it.

I'm not s huge fan of some of her characters, especially Puck, but other than that, this is a very solid read which I would highly recommend.
