I immediately went into this mode of high contemplation towards how in the hell is this plot going to turn out. ![]() My first initial reaction to discovering the loss of Yelena’s magic involved a loud gasp that followed with, “Wait… What?!” I was incredibly shocked that magic could even be erased let alone from a simple weapon such as an arrow. Without further ado, I am diving right into spoilers. If you have not yet read this novel I highly recommend that you do and while you get the chance check out Snyder’s other series and books. Snyder has done it again which is why I have to give this book 5/5 stars.

Through a creative commons license, Makers (and all of Doctorow’s works) is available for free download through his website. I’d read the print book at home, and read on my Kindle at work. Makers is also the first book that I’ve read half through paper, and half on my Kindle. ![]() I got this from the library in 2009 when it first came out, and I’ve been itching to reread it ever since, and finally, finally I found a paperback copy.
