I spent so much time waiting for this book, counting the months, days... And it was so worth it! I loved it.

While writing this, I realize that this is the end. I'm always sad when a series ends. So, this is it. It's been quite a journey and I enjoyed every moment.
Beautiful Redemption is different from the other three books, because there's just one mission. One mission only. To get Ethan back home. Ethan has paid the highest price for his sacrifice. He saved his friends and loved ones and both the Mortal and Caster World.
I very much enjoyed this one. We had Lena her POV, too and I liked how Kami and Margaret put Lena's poems in there. You knew right there and then that it was definitely Lena. I loved to read her thoughts. To finally be able to know what she thinks and how she handles things. I mean, we only had Ethan.
The Caster Chronicles had me in its grip and I just wanted to have more. We lived together, you know? I skipped sleep for this. I didn't want it to end. All by all, I was glad to have read it. Glad to be a part of it.
I absolutely loved the romance. Ethan loves Lena so much. So, so much. He would sacrifice anything, even himself. His love sparked off the pages and I just loved it. I admired that. It never controlled them and even apart, which they mostly are, they're so strong. They stay strong.
This was a great ending to a wonderful series. I can't wait to read the untold stories soon. You won't lose me that easily, Caster World!

This book was probably my least favorite of the series but i still want to read the last one to see where the characters end up.

I really don't know how I should review this book. I loved the first 3 books in this series but this 4th & final book in this series did nothing for me. At times I found it boring where I was just skimming the pages. The parts in the book that were supposed to be the the 'high' parts of the book totally fell short. There were some cute parts of the book like how Ethan communicated with Lena from the Otherworld. I also liked how Ethan got to see his mom again in the Otherworld & that he got to spend some time with her. Other than that thought this book was severely lacking excitement for me.
This book should've taken me at the most 3 days to read but it took me a week. I found myself not wanting to pick it up to read & when I did finally pick it up I procrastinated reading it. You may be asking 'why did you continue reading if you didn't enjoy it that much?' My answer to that is because I invested a few years with this series from when Beautiful Creatures came out & I wanted to see what happens with Lena & Ethan and the Gaitlin/Caster clan!
I'll still recommend this book because as a whole I really did love the Beautiful Creatures series!

I really enjoyed the vibes and aesthetic of the series (probably more than the actual plot). But I still thought the plot and concept of these books were intriguing.

I definitely felt this last one to be lacking. I'm not sure I liked that part of the book was in Lena's point of view. It didn't feel like any of the other books. I enjoyed the ideas that it held. I just don't think it was fleshed out as well as the others.

What an ending to the series. I was so caught up in it, I barely let it down while reading it.
I really loved the way Ethan communicated with Lena. And Amma! Have to admit the end teared me up a bit. Ethan meeting his mother and talking to her was heartbreaking at first, bit ultimately worked really well.
Sarafine's death bothered me at first, but I like that she sacrificed herself to give Ethan a chance to get back to Lena and make Lena happy.
I love Lena's real name, Josephine.
5/5.
Over all I enjoyed all four books and it was refreshing to read from a boy's point of view, which was done well by the way.

I enjoyed this series, but in my soul I feel like a 3.5 is my score
