Then, he has these quests for the magical stones- except it just happens that one of the Greats has it, and Lena has the other. Done, get it from the Great and then have Lena leave it at the grave. Then travel to the deep, dark, forbidden place to get the goal. Except, we never do what the Greats ask in movies they call that continuity errors by mentioning things- usually that comes with penalties that never occur in this book.
And even though Abraham the great grandfather of all evil has the sucker, and has been the almighty boogeyman for the past three books, we can kill him off without loosing anyone else.
It all felt really anti-climatic and somehow forced, not the spirit uplifting book I was hoping for with the series. I was left feeling somewhat disappointed and letdown, but I doubt that my teens will considering Ethan and Lena are back together, forever and ever. I have been scrambling to get this book, this is all I have been able to read so far!?! Notify me of followup comments via e-mail. Genevieve K. Caster Mortal Wayward Incubus Darkborn.

Kami Garcia , Margaret Stohl. Preceded by Beautiful Chaos. Followed by Dangerous Dream. Book Three: Ethan Ch. Posted on November 26, Ethan Wate has spent most of his life longing to escape the stiflingly small Southern town of Gatlin. He never thought he would meet the girl of his dreams, Lena Duchannes, who unveiled a secretive, powerful, and cursed side of Gatlin, hidden in plain sight.
And he never could have expected that he would be forced to leave behind everyone and everything he cares about. So when Ethan awakes after the chilling events of the Eighteenth Moon, he has only one goal: to find a way to return to Lena and the ones he loves. Worlds apart, Ethan and Lena must once again work together to rewrite their fate, in this stunning finale to the Beautiful Creatures series. I really feel that they should have just ended with Beautiful Chaos. I would have liked it if they ended it the way they did in the previous book and left it leaving the reader to question what happens next and use their imagination — OR — to have added on a few more chapters with a summary of the near future.
I would have enjoyed it much better that way. I would follow this series if they kept going no matter what! He never thought he would meet the girl of his dreams, Lena Duchannes, who unveiled a secretive, powerful, and cursed side of Gatlin, hidden in plain sight. And he never could have expected that he would be forced to leave behind everyone and everything he cares about.
So when Ethan awakes after the chilling events of the Eighteenth Moon, he has only one goal: to find a way to return to Lena and the ones he loves. Back in Gatlin, Lena is making her own bargains for Ethan's return, vowing to do whatever it takes -- even if that means trusting old enemies or risking the lives of the family and friends Ethan left to protect. Worlds apart, Ethan and Lena must once again work together to rewrite their fate, in this stunning finale to the Beautiful Creatures series.

Miranda Reads. Mostly cause Ethan is dead. After three books, I thought, surely Ethan and Lena would run out of ways to confess their love?? It didn't matter if we were dead or alive. We could never be kept apart. Apparently not. Because, now that Ethan is dead, we have a whole new angle. Even when I didn't know anything else about where I was or what I was supposed to be doing. You were my Wayward, even then.
Everything always brought me back to you. I love her beyond the universe and back. I love her from this world to the next. Just shoot me now. Okay, so if you manage to wade through all this lovey-dovey he-is-my-moon she-is-my-stars stuff Ethan sacrificed himself at the end of book 3 and is now in the underworld.
Which is a lot like the real world - only with lots of arbitrary and convenient rules to keep the plot plodding along. Lena is mourning yet another death until she plucks up the courage to do something radical.
Like bring her boyfriend back from the dead. After all, when has that idea ever gone wrong? From then on, Lena and her friends spend all their time following arbitrary and convenient rules to bring back her dead boyfriend.
As usual, the only reason I'm continuing this with this series is because the authors can write absolutely amazing side characters. I abso-freaking-lutely adore Link. He has such a hilarious personality that it really makes this series shine. As I followed him along the sharp black stones, I could hear Link's voice in my head. He's gonna kill you, stuff you, and add you to his collection of idiots who followed him back to his creepy cave Audiobook Comments Read jointly by Kevin T.
Collins and Khristine Hvam. As usual, I enjoyed the narration by Kevin Collins and all the character he gives to the folks of Gatlin County. For the first time, we have the story written from the perspective Lena. We have a new narrator Khristine Hvam for Lena's parts. However, what really threw me off was that the new narrator did all the accents differently. Some of them were so different that I really had to pay attention keep track of who was who.
Charlotte May. What was that bullshit ending?! Ok, so I read this purely so I could complete the series. So having now completed the Caster Chronicles I can finally say I am done, I am glad for it and I will probably never return to this series. So, Ethan is dead. Honestly how many times can a character be killed off and resurrected in a book series?!? Ethan has succeeded in leaving notes for Lena and their friends, to assist him in his return, which includes finding things for him, such as the infamous book of moons.
All the villains from the previous books show up — Saraphine, Abraham, Angelus. Lena was annoying, Ethan was annoying. I like Link — particularly as everyone underestimates him, and then he just murders Abraham with a pair of garden shears — that was the best part for me. And the worst of the worst, the ending. In order to bring back Ethan, Amma has to die. Nope nopity nope.
Absolutely not. She is my favourite character — why on earth is Ethan so special that this was allowed! He chose to throw himself off of the water tower. They did it for shock factor, no more no less and I am not here for that.
I realised I had been putting off this review because writing it would have meant the end of The love, the heart-break, the passion, the frustration, the components that truly make this a beautiful series.
And all I have to say is Like a hurricane, with the eye of the storm in the middle. The stillness in the middle of the storm. Who knows, maybe that's where we start.
In the center, where all is not what it seems I don't know, okay? It's just sitting there, on the bookshelf, waiting to be picked up. Oh and did I mention how much I hate Maths??? The Day we all fall down these Gothic stairs, arriving finally to the end of Beautiful Creatures. Thanks to all who read my pre-review rant about this book, and liked it.
All 80 of you for now Oh my. Oh, oh my. It's green. It's- it's bright green. And there's a staircase. There's a flippin' staircase. It's winding down, down, down A green winding staircase. Whoa, mama. Beautiful Redemption. And all that was going through my head for the next week was Well, not really, cuz I can't be bothered to pay tons of money to go all the way to USA, and lug an axe with me, but I'll figure something out :P Plus, they probably won't kill him off.
I mean, that'll take away the whole point of a YA book. No love interest means no panting, no smoochy-woochy scenes that fill in, like, maybe half the book, and basically a minimal story that doesn't get good reviews or has any prospects of being converted into a film by producers that may or may not think that all we teens care about is watching another teen's angst on the big screen.
But still My first thought after finishing this was, what a stunning finale to the Caster Chronicles. I feel like I've been reading these books for years.
