Unlike the normal lingo of “miracle” meaning a single unexplained event or happening in our worlds, miracles in this world come in two. Bicho Raro houses the Soria family who happen to be born saints and are the ones who grant miracles. The story takes place in Colorado 1962 in a desert-like Hispanic town, Bicho Raro (rare bug), where people travel for miracles. While I had a few annoyances, the book still transported me to a new world for a while-I felt as if my culture was being celebrated in a genre that rarely depicts it.
There are some powerful moments in the novel, but there are other moments where I was not enthralled by descriptions concerning love. When I finally finished the novel I was, in short, pleased. Stiefvater’s excitement over her book on social media was contagious, so much so that I was disappointed to not have time to read it until now. A Fantasy story featuring Mexican Culture.Īfter reading the Shiver series and The Raven Cycle, I couldn’t wait to read Maggie Stiefvater’s newest release, All the Crooked Saints.
