Praise for All the Crooked Saints

New York Times Bestseller
2017 Fall Kids Indie Next List
Amazon Best Book of the Month (September YA)

“Intrigued yet? You should be. All The Crooked Saints has Stiefvater's unique blend of magic, mystery, and family — or as Stiefvater likes to call it, ‘the intersection of spirituality and science’ — that made The Raven Cycle series and her other books so popular.”
—Mashable

“Maggie Stiefvater’s newest literary endeavor will illuminate what it truly takes to help others... while not forgetting to help yourself along the way.”
—Brit + Co

“Stiefvater is one of the most accomplished and successful magical realism YA writers.”
—The Hollywood Reporter

“One of the best novels of 2017.”
—Medium

“Maggie Stiefvater once again delivers a lyrical love story filled with beautiful, complicated characters.”
—Justine Magazine

“Overall, it’s a book that drips with love and approaches its characters with a whole-hearted delight in their differences, similarities, and connections…It has a sense of sprawling excitement and engagement; it’s bursting with the delight of a writer who is exploring a fresh style and fresh tropes.”
—Tor.com

“A Stiefvater stand-alone, full of magical realism and scenery so vivid it’s a living, breathing part of the tale? YES, PLEASE!...The depth of this tale is amazing, and you’ll savor each page as you think about your own life.”
—RT Book Reviews

“While reminiscent of Isabel Allende’s The House of the Spirits, a classic of magical realism, there are elements of storytelling here that feel unique to Stiefvater: unusual metaphors, sharp prose, unexpected humor and a deft ability to mesh the eerie and fanciful into one seamless description.”
—BookPage

“Skimming back and forth through time, Stiefvater’s tale is gorgeously told, unfurling like the black roses Francisco Soria obsessively cultivates in his greenhouse….A miraculous work.”
—Shelf Awareness

star “Stiefvater’s lyrical, sure-footed, and often humorous prose guides readers through lengthy expository passages that personify the setting of this atmospheric tale of magic and romance…This is perfect for readers who…will be moving into Alice Hoffman and Gabriel Garcia Márquez in the future.”
—Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, starred review

“Dense, tricky, and thought-provoking.”
—Publishers Weekly

“Writing in a style that pays homage to the Latin American tradition of magical realism, Stiefvater employs lovely prose that is both evocative and philosophical, with wonderful moments of humor; her plot is full of the matter-of-fact strangeness that we associate with that genre; and the physical setting of the high desert is vividly described, while brief allusions to Mexican culture and language are woven in.”
—The Horn Book

“The desert setting, intricate family dynamics, and the power of love and music resonate.”
—School Library Journal

“Reminiscent of the mystical world of Gabriel Garcia-Marquez…Such a rich exploration of perception and the power of love, it will not be for all readers, but for the mature ones who can appreciate a lyrical and literate journey to a different kind of place where things make sense in a most unusual way.”
—VOYA

— New York Times Book Review, The Raven Boys

 “In a young-adult market crowded with copycats, it's refreshing to find a book that blazes a path as unique as Maggie Stiefvater's The Raven Boys...a dizzying paranormal romance tinged with murder and Welsh mythology that brings a family of oddball psychics into contact with the rarefied world of teen blue bloods.”

Praise for Shiver

New York Times Bestseller
A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2009

“Stiefvater skillfully increases the tension throughout; her take on werewolves is interesting and original while her characters are refreshingly willing to use their brains to deal with the challenges they face.”
— Publishers Weekly, starred review

 “Readers will easily identify with the strong, dynamic characters. The mythology surrounding the wolf pack is clever and so well written that it seems perfectly normal for the creatures to exist in today's world. A must-have that will give Bella and Edward a run for their money.”
— School Library Journal, starred review

“After devouring dozens of fast-paced, very plot-centric books, you sometimes need to settle down and sink in to something slower and more contemplative. You need to be reminded that sometimes words can reach into your chest and wrench your heart.”
— MTVNews.com

Praise for Linger

#1 New York Times Bestseller

USA Today Bestseller

“This sequel’s poetic prose skillfully captures the four teens’ longings for love, forgetting, remembering, righting wrongs and life itself. The riveting ending will leave readers panting for the next sequel.” 
— Kirkus Reviews

“This riveting narrative, impossible to put down, is not only an excellent addition to the current fangs and fur craze but is also a beautifully written romance that, along with Shiver, will have teens clamoring for the third and final entry.” 
— Voice of Youth Advocates

— Ellegirl.com

“[F]illed with suspense, sorrow, and just enough romance…”
