I am definitely hooked on the Sonny Baca series there are four, and this one is the second Rio Grande Fall picked up where the Zia Summer left off, and the way it doesn t end, there s no way for me to stop here The setting is in the fall during hot air balloon festivities and includes a harried balloon ride There is much intrigue and mystery as to who are the good and bad guys Raven, Sonny s nemesis, is around though not too prominent, and there is a hint that he will be present in the next boo [...]
A PI in the midst of the internationally famous Albuquerque Hot Air Balloon Fiesta.
2.5 Stars Not impressed by the plot, or the characters The description of NM in autumn was nice, but I live here and don t need the travelogue Suffice it to say I m not the audience for Anaya s mysteries.
I ve read just about every Anaya book This was my least favorite
Having spent time in New Mexico, I am probably inclined to like a mystery written by a new author to me set in that state Love the Spanish phrases, the references to New Mexican food which I adore , and the cultural background that flows through the novel A private detective known as Sonny Baca finds himself searching for a murderer after a woman he knows it thrown from a balloon Another murder and it becomes obvious that drugs are involved due to be delivered during the famous Albuquerque Ballo [...]
I didn t want to even give one star I am from Albuquerque and thought I d read this because that s where it takes place However, it is so farfetched I could not bring myself to finish it I had only 100 pages to finish but just couldn t bare it any longer Sonny gets himself in ridiculously dangerous situations and miraculously gets out way too many times and then there s the whole science fiction aspect of him feeling connected to wolves and the villain connected to ravens and supposedly being ab [...]
When I read the jacket of this story it grabbed my attention Since this hard back edition was only.49 I bought it What I failed to notice in small print at the top of the inside jacket were the words Chicano Literature.This story is generously sprinkled with Spanish words Since I don t read or speak Spanish it was very frustrating trying to read this story.
I really enjoyed reading a fantasy book with magic and traditions from my own part of the world For folks who believe in a the mystical traditions described in this book, I suppose it may not be fantasy, but the same can be said for Celtic magic in books based on those tradions.
I had hopes for this book because I enjoyed Bless Me Ultima, but the good plot was marred by having the protagonist rush blindly into dangerous situations where he escapes or is rescued at the last possible moment.
Rudolfo Anaya is an amazing author, the descriptions in this book reminded me so much of my great grandparents who lived in Albuquerque, where the drama unfolds There is so much culture, history and social issues that keeps this book so interesting,I highly recommend it
The second in the Sonny Baca series Loved reading it.
The 2nd book in the series, this book follows Sonny as he investigates a major drug deal taking place at the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta.
First review was the wrong Anaya book This is the one that I found too macho IIRC on first reading Might go back if I get a chance sometime and am in the mood
The plot and characters are interesting and the setting is lovely, but the mystical introspection made the book about 100 pages too long.
Book two, continues the themes from book one with the same villain.
Entertaining enough.
See my blog
Another exciting read.
Read after Zia Summer 2nd book of three.
I just finished this book and I will say I enjoyed it I am a huge fan of Rudolfo Anaya and I loved the setting of this novel I am upset that I didn t read the first book first.
