Reviews

[Christopher Godsoe · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an amazing series. I'd love to go into more detail, but why use 100 words when 5 will do? The characters are so well fleshed out, that when the time comes to say goodbye to them you will feel as though you are saying goodbye to friends. After reading the first book in this series, I devoured the remaining three over a week and a half (Audiobook versions).

There are parts that become repetitive, and my only complaint is that none of the main characters (except for Link) seem to be able to tell anyone else what is on their mind. In a world full of Incubus, Casters, Seers, and Keepers, it's really difficult at times to believe the lengths some of the characters will push their belief that no one around them understands what they are going through, or that they will believe what they say.

The Audiobook versions are fantastic, Kevin T. Collins does such a great job with these characters. He conveys Amma's emotion, Links humor, and Macon's charm equally well, well enough that I worry that the forthcoming film adaptation might come up short, even with the amazing cast that they have lined up.

In the end, with the conclusion of the series, the thing I am most looking forward to is the films, not because I think they will stick so close to the story (So much of this story takes place inside of the characters heads, it would be impossible), but because I will get to see all of my friends again. Knowing the faces of the actors cast for the films has allowed me to combine the excellent narration by Mr. Collins with a face, making the experience much more enjoyable.

This series is nothing like what I normally read, but I'm glad I gave it a shot. The highest praise I can give it is that I am recommending it to all of my friends that read, and I know they will love it as much as I have.

I fell in love with this series as soon as I read the very first book. Its one of my favorite book series. I think its an amazing love story. (My first book rating, be gentle..)

The characters and their supernatural powers are very original and innovative. The book embraces southern heritage and paranormal myths and legends. I enjoyed how the series switched from Ethan's and Lena's points of view. The story is cleverly written that keeps with southern history. The book also has suspenseful parts that keeps the readers interested. Since the books are in touch with so many things like southern roots, young love and individuality the series can be loved and enjoyed by all ages.

I really liked the first book in the series but the second and the third books in the series disappointed me and the last book was a complete disaster. There were so many plot holes. Pacing was inconsistent and overall, I found myself getting bored reading the second and third books. But the last book in the series was the worst ever.

Beautiful Creatures - 4 stars

Beautiful Darkness - 2 stars

Beautiful Chaos - 2 stars

Beautiful Redemption - 1 star

This series started with the movie (which I was not a fan of). However, I kept thinking there has to be a good story somewhere and I'm so glad the movie lead me to these books. I couldn't put them down. I haven't found a series that drew me in like the Caster Chronicles in quite sometime.

Beautiful Creatures book #1 is about young Lena Duchannes who has moved in with her Uncle in Gatlin, South Carolina. Ethan Wates is a young man from Gatlin who has been dreaming of an unknown girl. When he meets Lena he knows she is the girl who has been haunting his dreams. The two are pretty much instantly connected.

Lena Duchannes is not your ordinary South Carolina girl. She comes from a family of castors. In their family on your 16th birthday your true light comes forth and you are claimed for either light or dark.

The connection Lena and Ethan share, the mystery of the past, the visions there is so much I could share but I don't want to give any spoilers. It all leads up to one great book 1 in the Castor Chronicle Series .

Book #2 Beautiful Darkness is even better than #1. Beautiful Darkness is very detailed, and the characters are both charming and complicated. You have the same characters from book 1 along with some new ones to mix it up a bit. Being from the South I absolutely love the Southern backdrop, lore and culture that is shared. You start out back in South Carolina and end up in Savannah Georgia one of my favorite places.

Lena and Ethan are struggling with what happened on her 16th Birthday (book 1 you definitely want to read it first). Lena is almost paralyzed with the consequences of her actions. She can not face what she has done, or what is to come. Her grief and fear have her pushing Ethan away. After not being claimed by the dark in Beautiful Creatures you would have expected Lena to be happy. Instead this is where the story really is taking off. Lena's mother Saraphine is back and calling the seventeenth moon. Lena will still have to face the claiming and the ending will leave you shocked!

This book shares a lot more of Amma, of Ethan's mother and the old kind of magic. I love the many different characters and how they are all working together or against each other for either light or dark to prevail. Secrets are coming out , mysteries being solved, and young love in the air .

Book #3 Beautiful Chaos For me Beautiful Chaos began slower than the first two. It gets better and before its over I was doing the ugly cry as I read . This book is way darker than the first two. ONe thing for sure the characters you've grown to love are in for a lot of turmoil.

Book #4 Goodbye Caster Chronicles. Book 4 is unlike the other three in this series. Where the first three books are all about Lena Duchane this book is all about Ethan Wate and his journey to return home. Beautiful Redemption is a solid ending to a very good YA series.

"I guess that's the thing about a hero's journey. You might not start out a hero, and you might not even come back that way. But you change which is the same as everything changing. The journey changes whether or not you know it , whether or not you want it to. I had changed. "Ethan Wate.

One of the best series I've ever read.

[Emily · Rating 5 out of 5]

I cannot even begin to explain my love for this series...
It's been a long time since I've found a series of books that I literally fell in love with. This series is always on my mind so much to a point where I can't sleep for hours, that's probably not healthy. The characters are fabulous and the writing is beautiful. I'm actually completely in love with Ethan Wate he's perfect. Lena as much as she can be stupid in the second book is also very likable and relatable despite the fact the she is a caster she's also just a teenage girl who wants to be accepted. The way that Ethan loves Lena and would do anything for her is absolutely adorable and I often find myself squealing while I'm reading these books. The romance is portrayed in such a way that makes it not cheesy and just perfect. Uncle Macon is frigging awesome, like seriously best uncle ever! My heart broke a little for Link each time Ridley rejected him. Of course Amma the epitome of the perfect mother figure, she loves Ethan with all of her heart and will not let anything lay a hand on him, she's sassy slightly terrifying but also very loving and strong. Liv of course I love she was such a great addition in the second book I love how her relationship grows with Lena. John Breed I love after reading the third one and I wished Ethan would just forgive him already. John and Liv's relationship is just so frigging adorable.
Each character in this series has a purpose in the long run, there are no random side characters that don't matter because that really bothers me when that happens!
The stories were captivating they got under your skin and stuck in your mind, I found myself physically not able to put the books down and go to sleep at night. These books are truly magnificent and I am so grateful that I came across them.
Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl are geniuses. They are the best team ever! They're writing is just so beautiful and it works together so well!

[Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow. Just wow! I got these four books on my Kindle on the 16th and couldn't put them down until they were finished. The character build is fabulous. I absolutely fell in love with the Ethan and Lena love story.

I enjoyed reading this series. I'm not a teenager and haven't been for quite some time but I was hooked.

From book to book - the authors' voice was very strong and clear. I could really feel Gatlin as if it were my home town.

The end of book three made me cry and I found myself crying through book 4 as well. And yet, even though it made me cry, I desperately had to know what happened next. The number one sign of a great series!

I wasn't planning to see the movie before I read the series - now I have to see if they did the book justice!

[Kristen · Rating 3 out of 5]

After awhile I would skip the details yearning for more conversational points. I'd like Lena to have more character. I found her distant and detached. I am looking forward to the movie. The series kept me intrigued enough to finish them all. Thanks to my little sister for the suggestion!

[Jennifer Hoots · Rating 3 out of 5]

The series left me with a lot of questions. Why didn't Link ever complain about the pain touching Ridley caused him before he turned? Didn't his car crash during the 18th moon? What happened to Macon's father, Silas? How did Ridley get John in the Archlight? Why did Edward Snakehands write a page in the chronicles for Ethan, just because Angelus said so?

[Allie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this entire series in a few days great amazing it always kept me on the edge of my seat. In the middle of the day I just start thinking about Ethan,Lena,Ridley,Link,John,Liv,Macon,Amma,and Marian andi have to tell my self its just a book .

[Katrina · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved the books. Started off quickly and you get attached to the characters. At the end of the 3rd book, I had to go to work the next day with swollen eyes. Not going to spoil it for you. I really enjoyed reading the adventures of the Gatlin above and below ground. A great, easy, fun read!

[Liz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yeah, I admit it. I'm late to the party but I still read this series. The entire thing. On purpose.

I was looking for something light after reading something a bit more srs bsns than I'm used to, and the first book in the series was only about $7 on Kindle Fire, so I snagged it. (Call it research- I'm writing a teen supernatural romance.) The fact that the movie was supposed to come out about 2 weeks after I got the first book was a good impetus to speed through the whole series. And it was a surprisingly enjoyable read.

I'd give it a 5, but Garcia and Stohl really didn't get Ethan's voice quite right, imo. I know it's teen Goth, and I know that teen boys can be very soulful creatures, but Ethan knew a little to much about clothing, was a little too chaste, and a little too vague. Ethan says he wants to get out of Gatlin, but boyfriend doesn't really say where he'd rather go or what he'd do- which weakened his characterization considerably and makes him a bit of a lame duck protagonist. So in general, the Lena POV portions rang truer for me. I liked that they tried, though, and that the protagonist was a boy: Rather than have an odd girl move into town and fall in love with a local boy, they flipped the script and had the local boy woo the new girl in town. Who just happens to be supernatural and conflicted. Yeah, that.

I liked that the character deaths were justified and made sense- Lena's mother, Abraham, and Hunting didn't need to be redeemed and the authors wisely didn't try. Sarafine got a bit of forgiveness at the end, but she still had to go. The ending was less saccharine than I expected- having the protagonist die and then come back from the Otherworld might have been cloying if it weren't worked out so well. That said, I'm not the target audience, so if I scoffed at the ease with which Ethan communicated his need for the river's eye to Lena and the way he got it from her from beyond the grave, where the Book of Moons retrieval turned out to be way more complicated, well, I'm a cynical old broad. I still liked it.

Ridley, the evil cousin, played by Emmy Rossum in the movie, was hard to get a bead on. Her constant smack talk was tiresome- but again I'm older than the target audience, so for all I know she's a dream character for your average teen girl. Will have to ask a few teens what they thought.

I enjoyed the world they built. The parameters were neatly explained, they treat their teen readers with respect- apparently they had a few teens go through and cut out "cheese" and generally act as betas, which served them well. There was one cheesy line and a few words that were just plain used wrong, and a bit of the denouement came right out of Halfblood Prince (and there's a reference to one of the characters' moms wanting to ban Harry Potter at the local library) but otherwise it's good.

I'm sure I'll reread all four books and I can see myself passing my Kindle (or an actual paper copy) on to my girl cousins when they're old enough. Better this than Twilight, seriously.

So I realize I sorta missed the boat with this series as I believe the first one came out in like, 2009. But whatever. I am not really going to talk much about the plot, mostly because throughout 4 books of at least 500 pages each, THERE IS SO MUCH OF IT. However there might be Spoilers, But I’ll make sure and say so before.

I think the thing about these books is that they were pitted to be “the next twilight” or “the next Harry Potter” but truly it’s a mix of both, and deserves to have a name of it’s own.

While The Caster Chronicles do have that “forbidden love” touch in the first book, and goes on to have quite a few romantic scenes (NOPE. LET’S KEEP IT PG PEOPLE, NOTHING MORE THAN KISSING GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER.) I feel like it goes so much beyond that.

Now correct me if I am wrong, (since i’ve never actually read twilight) but I believe it is ALL about Bella and Edwards relationship, and stuff right?

Now The Caster Chronicles have that, they have a lot of focus on Ethan and Lena’s relationship, but there is so much more going on in the books.

OKAY SPOILER TIME DON’T READ UNLESS YOU’VE FINISHED ALL OF THEM.


Ethan and Lena are testing their relationship as Lena goes through several obstacles to face her “claiming” and results in “breaking the order” So now, Ethan and Lena and their friends are in a race against time to fix the order, decide whether Lena is Light or Dark, not get killed AND try to be normal teenagers.

And Lena and Ethan aren’t perfect. They make mistakes. And that’s what I love about them, they are so real, and beautifully portrayed. But that’s not all. The Caster Chronicles go beyond a superficial, paranormal romance story.

In the 3rd book, Ethan dies in order to saves the ones he loves (TRUST ME, I BAWLED) Ethan is so in love with Lena that he will do anything for her. I mean who doesn’t want to read about a hot, smart, loving, caring guy who dies for his girlfriend to survive? Who believes in her, who travels through these dangerous and terrifying adventures just to get back to her?

I just believe that The Caster Chronicles are so much more than “The next twilight”. I want them to be remembered.

Because Lena isn’t cool. She isn’t perfect. She doesn’t fit in. She doesn’t know who she is. But she learns. And she is powerful, and she gives everything her all. And if that’s not a role-model, than I don’t know what is.

[Julie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this series. It is a YA/paranormal romance series, like so many that are popular these days. But, it isn't a "canned" series by any means. I appreciated the various struggles that the characters went through - and that there was depth and complexity to the characters and many of the situations they faced. For example, the relationship between Lena and Sarafine is ANYTHING but simple. You want to think it's black and white - that Sarafine is just evil and that's all there is to it, but that's not the case. I was a little disappointed in the final book - "Beautiful Redemption". It was a good read, but I thought it fell a little flat. The whole time I was reading I knew how it would end (basically) and perhaps because of that, the challenges along the way seemed to be too easily overcome. But, we all love a happy ending and we definitely got that.

[Marion Wilhelm · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought this would be Twilight-esque as it is considered a "young adults" read but I REALLY enjoyed all four of the books. The authors have put a new spin on what has become an overworked genre of supernatural boy meets mortal girl or vice/ versa, etc. it is a sweet but lively series with a lot of unpredictable turns and twists. More than anything it is a good vs evil and, as I do not want to throw out a spoiler, you will have to read them to decide what is really evil and what is truly good.
The Ethan/Lena love story is a good one and intriguing and thought provoking. I read through the other reviews and given that they are mostly written by adults I think it is safe to say that this YA series translates very well into a grown-up series.

[Charlene · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this series although for me the first book had all the impetuous and the subsequent books were just for the fun of hanging out with the characters in a very well-realized setting. There are some plot quibbles (it's never explained how a supernatural could become mortal and then non-mortal again, magic wand waving, do not look behind the curtain) but if you want to sink into some southern gothic YA, this is for you.

[Victoria Woods · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this series, totally didn't have it on here until someone reminded me by lending me a copy of the first book how much I loved reading them. You fall in love with the characters and want to keep reading until it's all finished.

[Cassy Zepeda · Rating 3 out of 5]

A family of magical beings and their human keeper. The audio books were much more engaging than the books. If I was reviewing these at the time of reading, I’d give 4 stars. Now, years later, it’s more of a 3. We all know that movie adaptions are terrible, but this movie adaptation was atrocious. If you liked the movie, you’ll love the books.

[Ethan · Rating 2 out of 5]

** spoiler alert ** This is generally ok as light reading--it grabs you and it's hard to put down. I have three pretty big problems with the book, though. Firstly, it bums me out to read books where a vast majority of the characters are bad people, especially when they take it much further than I've experienced in reality. I find it really difficult to believe that a whole town would gang up against someone when there is seriously zero evidence against him or her. The major vendetta of all of the students and parents against the Ravenwoods and Duchannes is extreme and worrisome. Additionally, their association with real-world organizations (the DAR, for example) is a little bit rude toward those organizations. I'm sure there are many DAR chapters that would never dream of ostracizing and criminalizing a family in their community the way these characters do.
Secondly, a lot of it is derivative of Carrie, Harry Potter, and some other fantasy staples. Maybe it's an homage... but I don't think so.
Thirdly (and this is the most important one--I would have given it an easy 4 stars if it weren't for this) I didn't find the plot or the invented concepts to be properly hashed out. There was a lot of correlation without explanation, which is to say that events happen because of each other, but I can't fathom why there's a relation between cause and effect... it's just taken for granted that they're connected. Now, I expect some of you are rolling your eyes (yes, I flatter myself into believing that somebody might read this) and dismissing this as bupkis because it's young adult literature and because it's fantasy, both of which are genres light on explanation. I get that and I actually tend to distinguish fantasy from other genres largely based on whether their actions are explained by science or belief in a higher power. Still, I found that this book was more troubling than most fantasy or young adult literature.
In Percy Jackson, they are descendants of gods, hence powers.
In Twilight, shapeshifters are hereditary (with a complex backstory of how the powers originated and why they manifest) and vampires are contagious (also with a complex history and with all of the plot point motivated by the personalities and objectives of different characters).
Harry Potter actually has similar problems of the magic being whatever the author wants, when she wants it... but at least the spells are consistent and repeatable and the plot is based largely on school years and horcruxes.
Then there are world building novels like Dune, Lord of the Rings, Kingkiller, Earthsea, etc, all of which set a precedent in the fantasy world of very well-thought-out concepts of magic with clearly explained parameters, uses, and relationships.
In the Caster Chronicles, however, the nature of magic feels like it is written from a very deus ex machina sort of perspective. Each volume hinges on a sacrifice which happens to propel the series forward in a convenient way. They repeatedly declare that spells have costs and consequences, but how come that only applies to the Caster Chronicles (the book within the book, not the series itself) and the Book of Moons? Why does the Book of Moons spell require a human sacrifice if weather magic is free? It seemed inconsistent to me for the archlight to overpower the Book of Moons. How are the consequences of Genevieve's spell established? Who wrote the rules? Is the book of moons actually a side effect of Angelus having rewritten Ethan Carter Wate's page??? If so, just say it. Why would half of the immortals die after the second natural makes her choice? It seems so arbitrary! Why is there a connection between astrology and powers? Why is the water tower a nexus of power? Why and how are we supposed to believe that jumping from there would result in the world being reset??? Nobody has ever reset the world by jumping from a water tower before, so what relationship is there between the water tower jumping and this world reset? I just don't follow this logic. Why do they have to have Ms. English to channel a demon? Why not someone else? Why does the boatman like Ethan and choose to help him? Why is Sarafine Ethan's challenge in the gateway? Why were the keepers established? Why are lillith/demons different from casters if they can all be the offspring of the same people? Why is the only effect of the reset that Lena and Ethan can now kiss without a spark? What is the relationship between the Book of Stars and the Book of Moons? Why must immortals choose light or dark? Why are they called immortals when they can be killed? How did John Breed get in the archlight? How and why do archlights work? Where do archlights come from and why are there so few of them? Why does an archlight work on John Breed when he's not an incubus and he isn't affected by light? How does Ridley make the Holy Rollers' music good? Of all immortal powers to write on your own page of the Caster Chronicles, why did Angelus choose to give himself the power to give people animal body parts? Who was Ethan actually supposed to guide? I thought his powers as a wayward were kept very vague and hence impossible to really evaluate, criticize, or understand.

Don't even get me started on the time paradoxes in the last book. Granted, a lot of what I'm about to say is based on my assumption that when he is reborn on the water tower and sees Ama fall, it's taken him back to the moment he would have jumped... but maybe it's not. If not, I don't understand why the direct result of changing the Caster Chronicle is to revive him, but keep everything else the same. I get that the Caster Chronicles are omnipresent through time, but then why isn't it born whole? Why does tearing a page out kill Angelus, but just reset Ethan? How is he reset if his attempt to reset the book is only due to the page being in there? When they reset, are Abraham and Hunting still alive? Why does Xavier say that he'll see him when he dies--wouldn't Ethan have to get another river's eye to pay the boatman in order to visit Xavier?


What's more, nothing that happened in most of each book had any impact on the endings. The characters struggle to research, keep secrets, investigate, etc, but what they end up doing has nothing to do with their research and very few of the previous conflicts cause them to grow in a way that helps them overcome the final conflicts. A ton of the characters and events are confusingly complicated and then completely irrelevant. For example, Ethan's dad is totally bizarre, but that never really matters, it's just distracting. Hmmm. Oh well. Major spoiler: Sarafine, Hunter, and Abraham ALL DIE suddenly and with surprising ease even though they are described as being nearly invincible. They die without having accomplished anything and without having even revealed their actual intentions. They die and then, basically, everyone shrugs and moves on. Even Angelus dies in an idiotic and unlikely way, having achieved nothing and never really having revealed his motivations. Sure, he hates mortals, but why does he hate mortals? Why did he hate being a mortal himself? Could we have his backstory from when he started hating mortals, please? I tend to be very critical of children's books, but I think someone ought to be. Just because kids aren't critical, that doesn't justify giving them poorly thought-out stories.

Last and least, why were there no jokes about The Music Man made toward Marian, the librarian?

[Chloekitty811 . · Rating 5 out of 5]

By far my favorite book series that I have ever read. I love how this story has so many twists and turns, and surprises that leave you breathtaken. The love that Lena and Ethan have for each other is something immeasurable, and you can feel it within yourself when you read how Ethan expresses it. Every page you turn leaves you wondering what more will happen, and believe me, much more does happen. It never becomes dull, touches your heart, and makes you understand life in a beautiful way. Like this quote does:
"In light there is dark, and in dark there is light." And on top of all of this, there is chaos and action and a amazing protagonist vs. antagonist story that follows it.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves romance, fantasy, and thrillers.

Recensione a caldo di questo libro meraviglioso! DOVETE LEGGERLO ASSOLUTAMENTE! È un capolavoro, è una lezione di vita.
Ho amato ogni singolo personaggio a livelli esorbitanti, davvero, li ho amati proprio tutti (a parte Angelus, Sarafine e qualcun altro, ma penso mi capirete...)!
Ma nel cuore mi sono rimasti Macon, Link e John, tutti e tre diversi eppure così simili, accomunati dal coraggio di sacrificarsi in ogni modo esistente per chi amano!
Lascio per ultima Amma, che mi ha ricordato tanto la mia nonna, che proprio come lei si è sempre comportata come una mamma!
Qualcuno dice che la fine della saga sia stata affrettata, io l'ho trovata perfetta, e il lago che ho versato ne è la prova

[Doe · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was a refreshing step back into reading Young Adult Fantasy. I like how the Casters' powers worked although the whole "bringing someone back from the dead" part seemed like stretching the chord a bit too far. Nonetheless, it was a really fun read and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for some nice sweet romance laced with magic and mystery.
