Maybe it’s just because I wasn’t that invested in the ‘Caster Chronicles’ but halfway through I wondered why I’d bothered reading it. The plot I found confusing to follow and hard to really like. I didn’t feel like I connected to any of the characters, or understood any of their feelings. I got the same feeling with her and Link, that there was no real love there. But, let’s be honest, did Link really deserve Ridley? Weren’t they only together for the convenience of Ethan and Lena? Ridley breaks hearts and doesn’t care. A good YA book can exist without a love triangle. This was about as unnecessary as when John was introduced as a rival to Ethan. Not sorry.Īpparently, Ridley went to Europe and got herself in trouble (because trouble follows that girl like a creepy stalker). The clichés just come rolling in and even though the descriptions are meant to be ambiguous and develop intrigue in the reader, it makes me roll my eyes, sigh and not care. My pet peeve is when authors have characters that are described to have ‘a terrible secret’ or ‘a hidden past’. Or not a couple? Are they a couple? (I hate non-explicit romances.) But already thinks were looking dangerous for the two of them, and my enjoyment of the book. Should I take it as a good or bad sign that I was the first to take this book out?ĭespite my initial confusion, I managed to get into the story. And, if I was unwilling to pay £1.99 for a novella, I sure wasn’t paying £7.99 for the novel. Even if I didn’t completely fall in the love with the predecessor series (and believe me, I didn’t) I still feel the pressure to continue reading the authors’ works. When authors come out with a new series, featuring the same characters of their previous series, I just have to read it. OK, it’s been eight months, so it was safe to say that I found myself to be quite lost at the start of this book, especially since I wasn’t willing to pay £1.99 or so for the novella ‘Dangerous Dream’ that came before this full length novel. ![]() ![]() It’s been a little while since I’ve read ‘Beautiful Redemption’, the last in the Caster Chronicles series. Genre: Supernatural, Contemporary, Romance Dangerous Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
