It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. Some riders live. Others die. At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, he keeps them buried deep, where no one else can see them. Puck Connolly is different. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. But fate hasn’t given her much of a chance. So she enters the competition — the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen.

I enjoyed this book overall, though it was pretty easy to lay down and forget I was working on it, so it took me time to finish.
I did like the main characters, who I found believable and one could easily identify with them. I knew what I hoped would happen in the end, and what I thought would happen in the end, and neither quite was the true ending. I did think the end was decent if a smidgen too happily ever after.
I like Stiefvater's style, so I was pleased with this novel.
