I love the sound of the actual races and the characters. You know me and complex characters. They are like my drug of choice. I can definitely understand why you were mildly disappointed by the romance. I've heard it's epic too so I would have expected a stronger presence as well. Oh well. I'm glad you enjoyed it overall! <br />Lovely review! :)Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304521473521896294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-28600851142440141442016-07-29T03:27:56.416-04:002016-07-29T03:27:56.416-04:00I'm that person who still hasn't read any ...I'm that person who still hasn't read any Maggie Stiefvater, gah.
