All The Crooked Saints by Maggie Stiefvater

All the Crooked Saints by Maggie Stiefvater
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I don't know what to say about this book, because something about Maggie Stiefvater's books leaves me speechless.
I know that last night as I was reading this, I wasn't in my room. I was in Southern Colorado, which is incidentally one of the coolest places I've ever been.
I also know that when it comes to world building - a term that is usually applied to fantasy worlds not our world - Maggie is the queen. I don't even know how she does it exactly. I just know that All the Crooked Saints and The Raven Boys had that in common in a way that I don't see often enough.
The only thing about this book that I noticed was that the character development that I also love had less time to ferment. Obviously this is because this book isn't part of a wider trilogy or quadrilogy or whatever (I'm assuming). Not that the characters weren't outstanding - because they totally were. I just think I could've lived in their world a little longer and not minded.
The depth of this story left me floundering last night, because I lived a whole life in that book and then came back down to earth. And if you couldn't tell, I read it in one sitting.
Anyway, I think I'm still processing, but this book was incredible, and I needed to say it.
