Meet Maggie Stiefvater, author of the Shiver Trilogy and The Scorpio Races
|
Maggie's new novel, The Raven Boys, is all kinds of awesome. In a starred review, Booklist
said, "the book is marvelous, for not only is it filled with marvels
but it is also a marvel of imagination and, more prosaically,
structure. Rich, too, in characterization, this fantasy-mystery rises to the level of serious literature, leaving readers hungering for more.
And more there will be, for this is the first volume of a planned
quartet. Waiting for the next book in the Raven Cycle will indeed be a
test of readers' patience."
Tuesday, Oct. 2nd at 7 PM at The Evanston Public Library.
