Maggie Stiefvater has been called "a master storyteller" by USA Today and "wildly imaginative" by Entertainment Weekly. Now, with All the Crooked Saints, she gives us the extraordinary story of an extraordinary family--a masterful tale of love, fear, darkness, and redemption.
I only finished the book because I already preordered it. And it gets two stars because the end was cute. The rest was utter boringness. This was not Stiefvater's magic from the Raven Cycle. LGBQT+? You are searching in vain. Plot twists? Lol. Big Secrets? Nope, you get everything lukewarm served. Don't read it. Even if the writing is nice, the story doesn't make any sense (Why Latinos in the 1960's who make an illegal radio station in the desert? Just why???)
