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.
Graphic: Abandonment
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Sexism, and Classism
Minor: Violence, Blood, and Death of parent
