leamaura 's review for:
Beautiful Redemption
by Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl
The righteous ending to an overall nice series.
Narrative wise there are always some aspects of this series I don't completely buy. In this case, there was the double pov, which was both necessary and somewhat annoying; there was the fact that I felt like the end of the last book and the beginning of this one were shifted a couple of chapters just to keep the cliffhanger, which I hated. There is the constant feeling that the explanation for something is given, but just partly, so you're left with some pieces of the puzzle that might fit, but you're not completely sure. There is the fact that incredible truths are discovered, but it all kinda dies quietly. I think the third book had more epic atmosphere than this one. But the thing is, that epicness was only supposed to grow and finally, truly be solved in the last chapter of this saga, but the final boss tripped and broke his skull on his own (it's a metaphor, it's not what actually happens but it kinda feels like that).
And when at the end some weird consequence happens, everyone only shrugs and goes on being happy, vaguely wondering but openly not caring why it happened? Okay.
I'm not disappointed, but I'm not satisfied either.
