I received this book from Tor in exchange for an honest review.

Trouble the Saints is a blend of history,  romance, magical realism... and revenge. It’s a potent combination that results in a fantastic story that I could not put down. This is one of those books where you stay up way too late in order to finish. 

I struggled a bit with the structure of the book. It’s broken up into three parts, each narrated by a different character. But it’s not a very obvious division, so I spent the first couple of pages of each section trying to figure out who was narrating. But once you get past that, you’re left with a story definitely worth reading.
