I don't recommend The Scorpio Races. 
 ***** 
 EXASPERATING. 
 The Scorpio Races tasted like bad milk for me (and i don't even drink milk!). I was in a constant state of confusion 2/3 of the time i spent reading it. Right now i would like to apologize to Maggie Stiefvater's fans because i have nothing good to say about her latest book. 
 Puck is petulant. Sean is too brooding. The legend of water horses was not explained until i was already reading more than half of the book. I just could not get into the story. If i were to describe the plot delivery as a person, i'd say it was scatter-brained. The story took too looong to materialize. It was hard to connect with the characters. Imagine me dreading to pick up where i left off because i felt it was a required summer read that i need to finish! It was that bad; the enjoyment in reading was not there. The only part that i read the chapters straight was the scene of the actual Scorpio Race. Other than that and Finn, this fantasy was a downer for me. 
 Did you love The Scorpio Races? If yes, please leave a comment and tell me which part(s) of the book that made you love it.
