This is a standalone book, and it does close up nicely. Also, this is based in 1961 so the only technology you really see in this book is a radio. What is All the Crooked Saints About It encompasses the woes of a family of saints, ordinary people who can do extraordinary things, called miracles, for other people but only in accordance with what the souls of the other people really need, and at the cost of their darkness and it being exposed to others. You get to learn a bit about each character and the one thing everything wants, and the one thing everyone fears whenever you meet a new character.
And Daniel the saint of Bicho Raro that has had a troubled past. There is Beatriz who believes she has no emotions, and Joaquin who goes by the radio DJ Diablo Diablo at night, and there is Pete who comes to Bicho Raro not for a miracle but for a truck. I think this is a book I would enjoy more on a second read, once I know and understand all the characters much better. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just different. All the Crooked Saints by Maggie Stiefvater 3.8 (8) Hardcover 18.99 Hardcover 18.99 Paperback 9.99 eBook 11.99 Audiobook 0. The characters are very fleshed out and all felt different and unique. In All the Crooked Saints it's almost like someone took a bag of characters and poured them out in your lap and now you have to sift through them. If you liked Maggie Stiefvater's Raven Cycle series, you will probably like this.
It is about miracles and a family performing miracles and hiding away from their darkness inside while bringing out the darkness inside the pilgrims who come for a miracle. I loved it.Īll the Crooked Saints, has cute little loves stories, but really no romance in the book. It didn't feel bland, it didn't have an over used storyline like lots of books I have been reading lately. Reminds me of the stories parents used to say: "when I was your age I used to walk miles in the snow up and down hills to get to school" like a big fish story. It has a fairy tale, exaggerated feel to it.
