Joaquin and the radio station! The two go hand in hand, and I love that they did. (The elbow thing was so precious and adorable and honestly kind of relatable?) <3 The desert fell in love with Pete and he fell in love with it and I fell in love with it right along with him. Everything is sentient, and I adore sentient worlds. I have a sneaking suspicion the ranch is alive. He's kicked out of the army because he has a hole in his heart, and decides that after his successes in school of helping those smaller than him, he wants to start a moving company. He was pure and kind and wonderful and really wanted to make a difference with what he had of his life. But she was still beautiful and wonderful and mmmm I loved it.

She and I are pretty much opposites-she is the girl without feelings, while I am the girl whose feelings explode out of me if I so much as sneeze. I think she's sort of the main character-it's hard to say, since there's a loooot of POV characters-but in any event, I loved her so much. So I'd pretty much decided that Maggie Stiefvater just wasn't an author for me.īut then I tried All the Crooked Saints. I read The Scorpio Races a few months back, and although I loved the Irish-y setting, the water horses, and a couple of the characters, it just didn't resonate with me as much as it seems to have with most of my bookworm friends. I picked this book up at the library on a random trip a while back, wanting to fill my cart and maybe expand my horizons. The characters.the setting.all of it just absolutely stole my heart. I will not apologize for my love for it, nor for reading it twice in one year, nor of buying it on a whim for twenty bucks even though I probably should have waited for the paperback.
