ARC Review and Blog Tour: Swamp Thing Twin Branches by Maggie Stiefvater

4 stars.

I really wasn't sure about this at first, but I ended up really liking it. The plant-affected animals/people were rather creepy, which I'm sure was the point. I don't know anything about Swamp Thing (I requested because I'm a longtime fan of Maggie Stiefvater and adore everything she's written) so I don't know how much of the backstory is new, but it was a compelling story and I really felt for Alec and his brother. I got Alec's social isolation and how he understood the plants in his lab more than the people around him. And his jealousy/abandonment feelings toward his twin, who did seem to fit in with the cool kids.

Overall relatable, believable, and compelling. I love what Maggie did with the origin story here. Since it’s Maggie, it’s gorgeous and a little creepy, with just a touch of magic - and weird in the very best way. thanks to NetGalley and DC Entertainment for providing an e-arc to review Here are some teaser images:

Teaser Review 4: Swamp Thing by Maggie Stiefvater, Illustrated by Morgan Beem

I’m celebrating the weekly countdown to publication by sharing a teaser review and the fourth excerpt (of 4) from  Swamp Thing: Twin Branches by Maggie Stiefvater, available now to preorder.

I adore everything Maggie Stiefvater has written, so of course I jumped at the chance to read Swamp Thing. The art isn’t the style I normally am drawn to but it’s beautiful and strange and really works for the story. I also didn’t have any prior knowledge of Swamp Thing but I love what Maggie did with the origin story here. Since it’s Maggie, it’s gorgeous and a little creepy, with just a touch of magic - and weird in the very best way.
