I went to Cincinnati earlier this month to see Maggie
Stiefvater at a book signing. I stood in line for two hours, and when I came
up, she asked me if I had finished reading The
Raven King. I think she asked most people that. It’s a good question—an easy
way to make conversation, to open the floor for a shy person. I explained that
I had bought a copy, but I hadn’t finished it, not yet.

I told her I always recommended The Scorpio Races when introducing new readers to her work. I said
something stupid, about how it’s the point where he writing crystalized into
perfection. I didn’t mean it like that; each book Stiefvater writes is new
growth, and her work only gets better. She didn’t peak at The Scorpio Races, but that’s when her writing started to really,
truly resonate for me.

Anyway, I think I said something else. I feel like I did—I remember
it, the gap of wasted time. There were words I wanted to say. They stuck in my
throat. It was hot and hard to breathe and the woman behind me was taking out
her books. I didn’t want to be rude, I didn’t want to take someone else’s time
away from her, but I couldn’t say the words.

When I finally blurted them out, I was almost crying. I told
her thank you for writing Adam Parrish. I tried to explain why it was so
important, but there were no words for it, not in public, not like that. I sat
down afterwards and cried for a few minutes. I shook most of the way home.

Keep reading

I asked her if I could reblog this so it might help others out there.
