I was yet to read the Beautiful Creatures, so this was the first book by Kami Garcia that I read. To say the least, I loved it.
I remember I started reading this one evening, all because I was bored and a Goodreads friend had recommended it to me, along with my sister's coaxing persuasion.
I can't put in exact words how much I love it. The characters wonderfully unravel with each chapter, and the mix of conflicts and well-written scenes never cease to amaze me. Its the writing; the simplicity of how Kami G. puts words, and the way the character becomes a protagonist not just because she's special; nope, cliche avoided but there is that; but because she makes the special type of difference.
You have Kennedy Waters, a seemingly normal girl with photographic memory and a skill for drawing. Its obvious she has a lot to develop; she's unfinished from the start, but I grow to like her anyway. Any protagonist who's that smart is my favorite already.
Admittedly, the love triangle was a huge cliche, and even though my heart belongs to Jared (like, 90% of the fandom) it aches for Lucas. Its obvious that despite the fact (hide spoiler)]
