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.

It took a while to get into and then became utterly enchanting and difficult to stop. I loved the mythology and world building the opening was a wee bit slow but worth sticking around for. The authors note at the end made me want to 5 star it - very interesting!

A great and wholesome world built

I read the book version years ago and it always stuck with me. Stiefvater creates the most vividly world of the sea horses and the characters.
The minor let down was the male voice actor who I thought sounded too old for the character.

Story’s great

I loved this book and the audio book did not disappoint the narrator's were perfect for the much loved characters and the whole experience of island life was haunting and atmospheric . Just wished there was a sequel...

I'm a big fan of this author's work but often this can be ruined by the person / people reading the book. Not the case for this author. This book is the perfect blend of fantasy and reality. If you love horses and fantasy this is the perfect novel for both.

My Favorite Book

I suddenly remembered this book sometime last week, i havent read or thought of it for years- ive never used audible either until now as i prefer to read.
However this was absolutely amazing, i found myself listening whilst doing makeup, in the car or waling my dog, the book was exactly how you would imagine it to be, voices and all. Would highly recommend.

Amazing!
