Here is a thing everyone wants: A miracle.Here is a thing everyone fears:What it takes to get one.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. Review: Another amazing book by a talented writer - Maggie Stiefvater has a fantastic ability to create interesting characters and then slowly making you love them. This book is another amazing example of that. I loved the miracles, hope, love, owls and rooster of this story. It was set in a place that I don't relate too with beliefs that are not mine but by the end of the book I felt like they could be. It is so well written. I marked a large stack of quotes from this book, because I just love how Stiefvater words things. Here are a few of my favorites. "No one wanted to see their darkness made manifest, but the reality was it could not be fought until you saw its shape." "Pete put his voice right by Beatriz's ear so that his breath warmed her skin and he began to sing. It has nothing extravagant, just Patsy Cline sung in his low and uneven voice, and they began to dance. It was very quiet. No one else would have seen it if not for the desert. But when the desert heard Pete Wyatt singing a love song, it took notice. The desert loved him, after all, and wanted him happy." "He remained as calm as he possibly could, so calm the rooster would be able to feel this serenity and adopt it for itself, or at the very least, to prevent anger from turning to fear." "She found it depressing, how fast memories were replaced by rumors. Tragedy left behind such subtle artifacts." "Humans are drawn to hope as owls are drawn to miracles. It only takes the suggestion of it to stir them up and the eagerness lingers for a while even when all traces of it are gone." Review: Pleasant Little Story - I wasn't sure what to expect from this book when I started it. The prose has a playful, whimsical style and while it still retains Stiefvater's distinctive voice, it was a little more wry and fanciful than most of her other books. Usually I find this kind of style rather off-putting; I was prepared for this book to be one the one of Stiefvater's I just didn't like very much. In the end, it surprised me, though. While I never felt like we really get the chance to know the characters here like we might if the book were longer or a little more emotionally driven, I did find most of them likable, and I enjoyed reading about them. Beatriz especially was a surprising breath of fresh air; I would love to see more ya characters like her. The plot, though a bit meandering, comes to a fairly satisfying, if bizarre resolution (this is, I think, to be expected from Stiefvater's books, and it's one of the things I like about them). There's a little bit of magic everywhere in the book; it's interwoven with the setting in clever, fantastic ways. Overall, I enjoyed All the Crooked Saints more for its heart than anything else: it's a very kind, very gentle book, but it doesn't shy back from making it's point. We've all got a little darkness in us, and even though we may need help to deal with that, it's still, ultimately, up to us to make the decision to do so. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,028,103 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #478 in Teen & Young Adult Friendship Fiction #896 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction about Friendship #925 in Teen & Young Adult Contemporary Fantasy eBooks | ## Images ![All the Crooked Saints - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91cXV+O90oL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another amazing book by a talented writer *by M***R on December 28, 2017* Maggie Stiefvater has a fantastic ability to create interesting characters and then slowly making you love them.

I had been eagerly looking forward to this latest book of hers (All the Crooked Saints). And when I started reading it I wasn't sure that I could push through to finish it. But I felt like it might be worth it to persevere so I began by reading it in sips (Not my usual approach). It was difficult to get into for two reasons. The first was because there are so many characters all at once with so many little stories and you don't really care about any of them yet. The second was that the very nature of the book is massively unusual. It is written in a tall tale style. It reminded me of Maniac McGee (the book) and Paul Bunyan and the dream weaving in the Raven boy series. It is essentially an endless series of pataphors (a metaphor made real that takes on a reality of its own). This technique was also similar to the book The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake. Magic in books is often more significant when it conveys insights into the characters. That is what is happening here. But reading it was difficult because each sentence and description and magical exaggeration or transformation has meaning and you have to think about it and you still aren't really invested in the characters. And then I began to understand what she was getting at, what the book wanted to convey and I wanted to know would it end in a hopeful message? (Spoilers after this point proceed at your own risk...) The moment that I started to understand was when I saw the miracles that had been performed on the guests at Bicho Raro. I had been misled by the word miracle. What happens to the people is that their darkness, their inner demons/ deepest flaws, are made tangible and visible to others. But there is a problem because they often cannot understand how to undo this transformation. So they are stuck in their chrysalis form, unable to transform because they still do not see or understand what their problem is and how to be different. This book is essentially about psychology, and whether people are ultimately responsible for changing themselves or whether they need guidance. It is about healing through sharing of stories and acceptance. It is about whether we can be helped by people who don't have the wisdom to understand themselves yet. What is therapy? Is it the holding up of a mirror to the patient until they see themselves fully? Is it about the strength of will to survive these truths? Is it a desire to truly change, finally? Is it about the wisdom or kindness of the therapist? Is it love? Is it forgiveness of and kindness to yourself? These are the questions that this book addresses. It doesn't give you all the answers, it doesn't delve very deeply into truly dark conflicts, but it makes you think. It was worth reading even if the first part had to be pushed through like molasses. And it is the most unique book that I have read in a while and I read a lot. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hu/products/111058687-all-the-crooked-saints](https://www.desertcart.hu/products/111058687-all-the-crooked-saints) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hungary* *Store origin: HU* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
