I didn't care that the plot creeped forward. I LOVE Stievater's words. Every single last one of them. And the characters. I love the boys and Blue so very much.<br /><br />I, too, hoped the killer squash song was real.

I just enjoy her writing - a lovely bit when she describes rays of light as 'godfingers', for example - and intelligent use of emotion. Very happy there has to be another one!

I didn't expect so many important events to occur! And the elk that stampeded in the first book appeared again! (Or, I mean, they appear for the first time.) That was such a good detail!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-15275875606373297112014-11-04T19:56:06.774-05:002014-11-04T19:56:06.774-05:00I can't believe I haven't already snatched...I can't believe I haven't already snatched this one off the shelves, I've been anticipating it for so long. Now I have the dilemma that I really want the beautiful hardcover to go with my gorgeous (and signed!) copies of the first two. But I'm going on another plane ride so it really makes most sense to buy a digital copy. I may just buy both!Kim Aippersbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556947405633680410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-75978193197145108982014-11-04T15:25:55.812-05:002014-11-04T15:25:55.812-05:00I knew that there was another book coming, and I s...I knew that there was another book coming, and I still felt like it didn't advance the plot very much, Charlotte. But I agree with you about the friendships - that is a lovely thing about this series. Plus I just adore the quality of Stiefvater's prose.
