Anna Long liked Ron's review of The Family Izquierdo: "This book was too happy to be a mess. Started off promising with an explosive curandero ritual scene and then immediately devolves into uninteresting vignettes in all manner of POVs from characters I don't care about. I might pick it back up one day " Read more of this review »

“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.”
― Neil Gaiman

“Someday, Locke Lamora,” he said, “someday, you’re going to fuck up so magnificently, so ambitiously, so overwhelmingly that the sky will light up and the moons will spin and the gods themselves will shit comets with glee. And I just hope I’m still around to see it.”
“Oh please,” said Locke. “It’ll never happen.”
