“As mind-blowingly
spectacular as the first…Stiefvater’s careful exploration of class and wealth
and their limitations and opportunities astounds with its sensitivity and
sophistication. The pace is electric, the prose marvelously sure-footed and
strong, but it’s the complicated characters—particularly Ronan, violent, drunk,
tender and tough—that meld magic and reality into an engrossing, believable
whole…How long until Book 3?”
