Journal Entry 1 by Ingalill on Tuesday, March 6, 2012
- Every year, the Scorpio Races are run on the beaches of Skarmouth. Every year, the sea washes blood from the sand. To race the savage water horses can mean death, but the danger is irresistible -
So says the cover.
The heroine Puck is poor with dead parents, loyal brothers and a faithful horse.
The hero, the only one on the island who can tame these wild seabeasts, and of course he works for the rich man, with the evil son, and there is money to be won and lives to be lost, and then I haven't even mentioned the love.
Puppy love, so young and sweet - on horseback.

I bought it because I wanted to give Stiefvater a second chance after the Wolves of Mercy Falls. But just like the wolves this book is too young for me - or I am too old - and that is all I want to say about that.
(will update with blogpost if I ever write one -)
