The way she manages to immerse her readers in her settings is spectacular; her characterization is completely spot on. The Raven Boys is fantastic, and I loved the audiobook too (which I'm listening to in preparation for The Dream Thieves). Hope TDT is just as brilliant!Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-77491640238262353872013-08-15T13:55:39.494-04:002013-08-15T13:55:39.494-04:00I read this book shortly after its release and LOV...I read this book shortly after its release and LOVED it! I have the audio version too but haven't gotten a chance to listen to it yet. I think it's great that this was your first foray into the world of Maggie Stiefvater. You sure picked a good one to start with! <br /><br />Maggie has a beautifully unique way of weaving magic into the real world so that it feels completely authentic and natural. Not to mention, her prose is whimsical and mysterious and beautifully written. You're right, while the story can sometimes be a little long-winded, it's definitely worth it in the end. Oh that end! Can't wait for the release of Dream Thieves!Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825578716168335522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-56937506480732153252013-08-15T10:59:28.804-04:002013-08-15T10:59:28.804-04:00Haha, love this!
