All the Crooked Saints by Maggie Stiefvater This book is magical. I know, I know. All of Maggie’s work is magical, but this is magical in a different sort of way. So much so that at times I wondered what the author may have been grappling with when she wrote it.

The art is stunning and one of my favorite things was looking for the added det

Serafina and the Splintered Heart by Robert Beatty I love the Serafina books! This is the last one that directly follows Serafina as a protagonist, but I look forward to the Willa books! So this review is a little difficult because in the author's note Mr. Beatty asked for specific things not to be mentioned as it is important that the reader only know as much as Serafina at any given time.
