Beautiful Chaos continues the story of Ethan Wate and his girlfriend Lena Duchannes. In the town of Gatlin, things are rather strange. Heat is off the charts, locusts swarm in amount they've never before, and Ethan is beginning to lose his memory. Using the assistance of prophecies and the shady John Breed, Ethan and Lena must uncover a fate most troublesome.
I've got to say, first off, that I was worried going into this book. Worried because I loved the first two so much that I didn't want to be disappointed by this book. This one, though, was definitely the best in the series! The characters are becoming more deep; more relatable, if you will. Ethan expresses anger in this book, as well as the usual easy-going Ethan. That's what I love most about this book: that you can see every side of every character. I used to hate the character Liv, but this book made me love her. I used to hate Link, but this book made me love him. This book made me hate the villains, something I'm not really used to. Many books these days make you want to hug the villain, but Abraham Ravenwood and Sarafine are malicious and disgusting, and I just wanna kick them into a vat of toxic waste.
As far as the plot goes, I thought that it was the cherry on top. I thought that Stohl and Garcia definitely highlighted the darkness of Ethan's and Lena's lives. The highs and lows of the plot were very realistic and revelative, so many of them made me do a little dance. I hardly ever do little dances.
Beautiful Chaos is the third book in The Caster Chronicles. Beautiful Creatures is being adapted for the big screen. The fourth and final book has not yet been released.
