This book was awesome. t first I was a bit sceptical, especially on the first chapters, but I later got attached to the book. The only part I didn't like was how many times this book made me cry. Especially in Steffi's call and death. Overall, I think it was a stunning and super emotional book, that I very much enjoyed.

The dialogue is trying way too hard to be clever but manages only to be annoying (and boring). And the main character is really, really insulting to nerds. Shut up, nerds are awesome. DNF.

ETA 1/2013: Tried again, still nope.

i am so totally in love with every character in these two books. i'm writing this now that i've finished both, so hopefully it'll be easier to say what i love about this story.

the grief on display here is so palpable, but there's so much joy too. the shepherds and blythe [and her brother, i can't remember their last name though] have two very different histories, both overflowing with pain and burden, but the two families are so easily able to come together to work through their respective issues.

blythe has so much love to share with the shepherd's and her brother, and her grief over the death of her parents kept her isolated for so many important and formative years. with the help of chris (and the other siblings!!) she is able to overcome the guilt and shame that has wrecked her and get better!! i love that these books acknowledge that even though there is healing, it's a constant process! grief and trauma follow you forever, and it's okay to have those bad days. sweet chris
since book 2 is all about sabin, i'll save my thoughts for that review!! but i just absolutely adore him and his eccentricities. he feels like a john green character to me.

overall: 5/5!!! the best book i've read since the bronze horseman! i'm so glad i stumbled across it.
