I wasn't expecting to get much out of it because I'm not really a horse person, but this was so much more than that. Stiefvater has such a way with words. She creates such a gorgeous atmosphere and sense of setting, and she always nails characterization. Yes, even the horses.

This book is a love song to horses and the ocean. It’s such a soft lovely story that makes your heart pound and you can’t put it down. The characters are amazing and you can’t help but love them.
