I am going to keep on defying you. I am going to shame you with my defiance. You remind me that I am a mere mortal and you are a prince of Faerie. Well, let me remind you that means you have much to lose and I have nothing. You may win in the end, you may ensorcell me and hurt me and humiliate me, but I will make sure you lose everything I can take from you on the way down. I promise you this is the least of what I can do.

I hate it when you finish a book and you don’t have a book to carry around to escape from reality at any time

It feels like you’re stuck in your own boring responsibilities and there’s no way to avoid it

There is a specific type of sadness that doesn’t crept during the night but rather takes you by full force in broad daylight. It is the type that takes you back years, the one that doesn’t come often but instead is so rare you think you have overcome it. And it’s on a nice day where you are wearing your favorite top and feeling so happy that suddenly it hits you so hard that you are left immobile. You are crippled by such immense pain that you can’t breathe anymore. You wonder how you even have made it this far only to realize you never really made it out, you are still stuck in a world filled with pain and hurt, and realized your heart never healed but is still this cold and broken rock that beats to the sound of your tears.

I didn’t know I needed a miracle

But then I read Maggie Stiefvater’s book, and it all makes sense.

I have loved books since I first learned to read. I remember that time, in kindergarten, picking through the big books and feeling so very accomplished. And from there my love affair grew. Stories have always been my escape, even when I didn’t realize that’s what they were. I have always and will always love books for their “uniquely portable magic” and Steven King once pointed out.

And tonight, again, I am struck by just how potent this magic can be.

I did not know what to expect when I opened “All The Crooked Saints.” I knew only that I adore the way Maggie makes words feel new again. I am willing to embark upon an unknown journey with her because, so far, she has not lead me too far astray. (By that I mean she’s taken me to a helluva lot of strange places, but gently.) I opened this book hoping for another journey.

But…oh…I got so much more.

I have been struggling inside my head for such a very long time I do not know what it feels like not to struggle. I have taken myself for granted for such a very long time that I no longer believe in any of my worth or value. And, recently, I have been fighting to “fix” all of that. It is not easy to learn to love one’s self. When it has been taken as truth that I am worthless and wanting for so long, simply acknowledging the goodness I possess is not nearly enough to mean I believe it. It is a slow, painful, heartbreaking process.

And after a day of particular struggle, I found myself reading of miracles and happiness and I knew this book was meant for this moment.

Maggie Stiefvater, I don’t know if you’ll ever read this. And I don’t know why you write your books. But I do know that this book, in this moment of my life, has resonated in ways I didn’t know I needed. I think I can guess at how a writer can know the thoughts and struggles and feelings of others (because aren’t we all made of the same tangles, just in different knots?). But I want to let you know that I love this book and I have been loved by this book. Thank you for writing it. Thank you for sharing it. Thank you. @maggie-stiefvater
