I'm not sure why more fuss hasn't been made over Maggie Stiefvater. I'm pretty sure she is a genius. Her writing is always beautiful, always surprising. Ok, the Shiver books were not my favorites, but that was my fault. I'll revisit those, coming at them from a new angle and I think I'll see the genius there, too, when I do. I hope her writing is being studied in YA fiction classes because it is a marvel on many levels.
