Night at the Fiestas: Stories by Kirstin Valdez Quade
3.0
Let's start with the good - the stories are full of interesting characters and situations. I really enjoyed reading them. It's set in the Southwest United States and features lots of Latino and Mexican American culture.
The art of short stories is knowing when to end, when the characters have developed (quickly) and reached a turning point. I'm not sure these stories are well developed enough to have reached that point.
The other drawback is that many of these stories seem too similar. They tend to run together with similar characters and settings and dynamics.
All in all,a good story collection. I recommend if you're a fan of Southwest fiction especially!
