Very pleasantly surprised by this book. This is my first time reading magical realism and I think I'm gonna read much more of it now. And Maggie Stiefvater has such a distinct and unique way of writing that is just so beautiful and atmospheric. I loved this book so much. 

It took me a while to get into it though, I gotta admit. And also this book has like, a folklore-esque vibe to it. It's strange and doesn't really make sense, but it's obviously intentionally so, and I quite enjoyed that. 

I didn't think the characters would have as much development since this book focuses on a lot of characters, but actually it was very well done. It's an interesting insight into families, our issues and about healing too. 

SO GOOD, definitely recommend.
