Beautiful Chaos by Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl

3.0

I often have trouble following the plot in the Caster Chronicles books. There's a lot of jumping around and I guess I've missed a thing or two because I don't think I completely understand the supernatural world created by the series. At a few parts of "Beautiful Chaos," I was totally lost. That said, I am still totally hooked. The characters are a big reason for that. They're funny, charming, and easy to relate to. Also, I like that despite the seemingly straight forward groups of Light and Dark supernaturals, most of the characters actually fall somewhere in between. Sometimes the "good guys" make mistakes and sometimes the "bad guys" do good things. It's more like real life and it makes things interesting because I'm never sure what someone is going to do. The tone is another reason why I like the Caster Chronicles. It's dark and Gothic but also funny. There's a huge cliffhanger at the end of this one, so I can hardly wait for the next one to come out next year.
