A review by kambmoore
Beautiful Chaos by Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl
5.0
This was probably the BEST out of the first three books in the BEAUTIFUL CREATURES series (or CASTER CHRONICLES). It took me awhile to finally finish this book because of all the stuff that has been happening. One if those things is the Boston Marathon Bombing which really messed me up and I just couldn't read AT ALL. Anyway, back to the review...
In this book, Ethan and Lena have returned from the Great Barrier and now that Lena has Claimed herself, things in Gatlin are not the same as they were before...[which could perhaps be cause by the Order of Things being broken because Lena Claimed herself as both Light and Dark]. I liked Ethan a lot more in this book than in the last one for sure. In BEAUTIFUL DARKNESS, he was really mopy and sad because of Lena pulling away and everything with Macon [who's not dead after all! Yay!!!] and Sarafine and just STUFF in general. In this one, Ethan is a whole lot more manly, I guess? He is also starting to lose memories of his past and basic things he's gathered over his 17 years of life.
Lena was better too! Last book, I wanted to slap her in the face because she was being such a b**ch. But, now that she's Claimed herself and all, she and Ethan are starting to get closer again! She also grew up a whole lot more. She is gradually finding out more and more about her mother, Sarafine and her father. This is told in flashbacks which are still REALLY cool. I hope that in the next one, BEAUTIFUL REDEMPTION, we get to see more of Lena growing up as both a Caster and a Mortal.
The ending........ I don't know how to explain it without spoilers. All I can tell you is that the last 30-40 pages are the SADDEST F*CKING PAGES OF ALL TIME! I was legit CRYING MY EYES OUT at the end...I NEVER cry at the end if books (with the exception of THE HUNGER GAMES at that part with Rue...)
I have the last book and will be reading it next so I can officially say that I have read the BEAUTIFUL CREATURES SERIES/CASTER CHRONICLES!
Peace out guys!!
