A review by joana_stormblessed
Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl
3.0
I liked it. When I read the first book a couple of years ago, I was completely obsessed with it, but upon a reread I calmed down, but I was still motivated to move on with the series. This second installment has some really strong points and some really weak ones, which is why it received 3 stars from me.
Strong points
Ethan! He is such a good character and I love that he gets the answers for himself and that he does what he thinks is right! He is strong and he doesn't wallow in self-pity when he finds out about his past or his mother's past! He is strong, independent and an amazing friend. I really really love him.
Ridley! She is making her way to being one of my favorite side-characters!
The plot lines. I love where we went into the past and the new visions and the new magical and mysterious aspects!!
Weak points
LENA! Just no! Poopy pants the whole time, whinney boo-hoo! She makes decisions but cannot for the life of herself own up to them!!! UHGH she frustrated and angered me so much! I'm glad we didn't spend a lot of time with her! I do not understand why she is so annoying about the claiming. She was always so scared about going dark and now all these shenanigans! Just no!
