Synopsis

Some race to win. Others race to survive. 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 choice. So she enters the competition - the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen. As she did in her bestselling Shiver trilogy, author Maggie Stiefvater takes us to the breaking point, where both love and life meet their greatest obstacles, and only the strong of heart can survive. The Scorpio Races is an unforgettable reading experience.

reading ten year old YA fantasy just to be unhinged. this was, to me, more the Shiver variety of maggie stiefvater (fine, boring, not memorable) than the raven cycle variety (magical, everything to me, like my family, has gansey in it). it's not what i would've expected from the title alone, but to be......more

Goodreads review by jessica on March 31, 2019

this book was not what i was expecting. not in the least. i went into this thinking it would simply be an action-packed tale of a daring race; but what i got was so, so much more. i found myself comforted by a story that showed, in a very special way, that sometimes life is not about what you want,......more

Goodreads review by Mary ~Ravager of Tomes~ on January 16, 2021

"This Skarmouth is raw and hungry, striving and unknowable. Everything the race makes me feel on the inside is bleeding up through the seams in the street tonight." - Sean Kendrick "I wonder how long it will take for me to feel as adult on the inside as I look on the outside." - Puck Connolly *deep b......more

Goodreads review by Kai on April 06, 2021

"It's easy to convince men to love you. All you have to do is be a mountain they have to climb or a poem they don't understand." Puck has a horse, two brothers and soon no house to call a home. Sean's heart beats for something that he doesn't own. Both have no choice and only one chance to get what t......more
