katsylver reviewed Beautiful Redemption by Kami Garcia (Beautiful creatures -- 4)
Review of 'Beautiful Redemption' on 'Storygraph'
3 stars
The Caster Chronicles have been a highly entertaining read. The world beneath the world woven by the authors is fascinating, terrifying & delightful. The stories being told from the male protagonist's POV is refreshing in the teen lit world where things are told from a decidedly more feminine angle. But the part of these books that kept me hooked was the character's grief & their processing of that grief. The authors show a unparalleled familiarity with mourning that you don't find in teen lit. In reading these books, I've discovered different ways to process my own grief.
Recommended.
