Catching up on mini reviews for books that I haven't written anything on yet. For Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance though, it was less a matter of not wanting to write a review and more a matter of not knowing what to write. This book is beautiful. It's the exact kind of magical realism that I love, where everything feels completely plausible and yet you also feel transported. The multiple narrators were done excellently. The chapters were evenly weighted, and full of all kinds of magical happenings. Even the ending was a perfectly satisfying, and that's not something that I say a lot. So, in summation, this book was my perfect kind of read. I enjoyed every minute of it, and I'll likely read it again! To the favorites pile it goes.
