A review by veeloucagraph
Dangerous Creatures by Margaret Stohl, Kami Garcia
2.0
a full moon was for making magic.
magic and memories.
2.3★
I love the Beautiful Creatures series and hold it dear. The thing is, this book had little reason to exist.
Ridley's character is amazing and it makes up for a lot of this book. But see, I didn't need this. I didn't need to read more about how Ridley is conflicted about her power and love. It was clear already.
I think this book lacked in atmosphere, which is strange considering we had so many Dark Casters in it and magic talk. And I found it odd that for a book with so much spellbinding it seemed so un-magical.
I didn't like the choice of villains in this, they seemed so small. Lennox was supposedly a redeemable bad guy but I just didn't buy any of it. He seemed very sloppily written, one minute they hate him the next they cry for him..
The relationship between Link and Rid is realistically written though, which is something I liked. They are very different people and sadly they just can't compromise without one of them feeling like they don't belong.
I also liked the flashbacks to Ridley and Lena growing up.
As much as I love these characters I won't continue with the next one. Xx
