    About this audiobook

    From bestselling author Maggie Stiefvater, a gripping tale of darkness, miracles, and family.

    Any visitor to Bicho Raro, Colorado is likely to find a landscape of dark saints, forbidden love, scientific dreams, miracle-mad owls, estranged affections, one or two orphans, and a sky full of watchful desert stars.

    At the heart of this place you will find the Soria family, who all have the ability to perform unusual miracles. And at the heart of this family are three cousins longing to change its future: Beatriz, the girl without feelings, who wants only to be free to examine her thoughts; Daniel, the Saint of Bicho Raro, who performs miracles for everyone but himself; and Joaquin, who spends his nights running a renegade radio station under the name Diablo Diablo.

    They are all looking for a miracle. But the miracles of Bicho Raro are never quite what you expect.

      All the Crooked Saints by Maggie Stiefvater .
      “Here is a thing everyone wants: A Miracle. Here is the thing everyone fears: What it takes to get one.”
      .
      Rated:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
      .
      From the opening chapter, I knew I was in for a weird, whimsical and beautiful ride. I knew nothing about the book before I started reading it. I would categorize it as Magical Realism! It took me several chapters to process and understand Maggie’s prose. There were statements like, “Daniel had been alive longer than his parents had been dead.” and I couldn’t quite grasp which statements were meant to be taken literally or metaphorically. Turns out, there’s a reason behind all of it. .
      .
      I alternated between listening to the audiobook and reading the physical copy. The narrator for the book was very Antonio Banderas, and he did an amazing job switching out voices for the different pilgrims and visitors to Bicho Raro. I kept finding myself picturing the characters as animated like the movie Coco!
      .
      .
      As I write this, I realize how difficult it is to review this book and give it all that it deserves. It is a book about a family of saints, a Colorado ranch, a radio show and pilgrims who are in search of miracles… yes miracles. It’s also about mental illness, love, facing your own darkness, helping other people face their darkness and every single word, chapter and line is beautiful.

      It’s a dreamy ode to magical realism that grows in unexpected ways and took me by surprise with how much I loved it.

      I’m not sure how to rate this book. It had so many hidden meanings layered throughout it that I’m unsure of what rating to give it. I will settle for 4 stars now but that may change in the future.
