One of my favorite things about the series is that it is narrarated by a boy, Ethan. And I just have to say, Ethan is one of the best hero's I have ever read about. His love for Lena is heartwarming, his bravery amazes me anew every book. He is by far a favorite character and his traits are the ones I like to see most in a boy.
Lena was defiantly disappointing me until the very last couple of chapters. At first I was like, 'Oh, no! How could one of the Caster Chronicles main 'good' characters turn out like this?!" For the fist half of the book I was in denial of how she was acting, but when I finally admitted that she was the one doing it on her own, it simply broke my heart. Her actions in the end of the book almost complety redeemed her in my eyes. The authors were able to grow out her character through this book, showing insight into how she thinks and why she acts the way she does, that really brings her to life.
For some reason I have always loved Ridley and had a kind of 'feeling' deep inside me that caused me to know what she was going to do. I've always felt kind of connected with her and can't wait to hear what will happen to her in the next book.
Link was just as funny, wonderful and brave in a cowardly way, (if that makes since), as in Beautiful Creatures, if not more so. This second book has only added to the depth of the characters
The book it self was so creative, descriptive and captivating that it left me in a serious writing mode. (which is what I do when I'm deeply affected by something. I write my own fiction, inspired by what ever mood I'm in). Everything developed so well I was greatly impressed. I loved how this book took a turn for the darker, once you begin to read it captures you so that you cannot stop reading until it the last page has been turned.
Of course once your finished it just leaves you begging for more.
O loved Beautiful Darkness and can't wait until the next book comes out in the Caster Chronicles.
