Beautiful Redemption by Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl

Beautiful Redemption (Beautiful Creatures, #4)

by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

Is death the end . . . or only the beginning?
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.
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.

Beautiful Redemption was very well written, with the characters we know and love moving on with a fate they really thought they’d never have to live (or die) with. They all grew and made concessions, and the humor was present just like in the other books in the series. The Caster Chronicles is among my favorite series ever, whether the series be YA or adult.The ending to a series I loved that was written so well should have gotten five stars you say? Well, yes, I thought so to, except there actually is a but… that I will discuss further down in my review to explain why I only gave it four stars.

Beautiful Redemption is written in three parts, first from Ethan’s point of view, then from Lena’s and back again to Ethan’s. As I am sure many readers suspected after the ending of Caster Chronicles #3, Ethan continues to be the main character in this final book as well, and most of his adventures happen in the Otherworld. He is not ready to pass on and learns quickly, even if his mom is trying to keep it from him, that his death wasn’t supposed to happen.
