The Beauty of Darkness by Mary E. Pearson

Hey guys!!

So this is the third book in an amazing series, The Remnant Chronicles. I had bought this book the day it came out because I LOVED the first two. It was sitting on my shelf for awhile with me staring at it from afar since August 2, 2016!! At one point I was carrying it around in my purse, but never opened it. I didn't know why until I read that first page on Wednesday. I stroked the pages and realized that starting it meant I would have to finish it, and it was the last book in the series. I wasn't ready to let go. That's how amazing this series is. The characters latch on to you and you never want to let go!

Okay, I'm going to put the synopsis of the third book down there which will probably give you some spoilers,  so skip over that and to the review if you want a feel for the book and series!!



The Beauty of Darkness by Mary E. Pearson

Lia has survived Venda—but so has a great evil bent on the destruction of Morrighan. And only Lia can stop it.

With war on the horizon, Lia has no choice but to assume her role as First Daughter, as soldier—as leader. While she struggles to reach Morrighan and warn them, she finds herself at cross-purposes with Rafe and suspicious of Kaden, who has hunted her down.

In this conclusion to the Remnant Chronicles trilogy, traitors must be rooted out, sacrifices must be made, and impossible odds must be overcome as the future of every kingdom hangs in the balance.


Audience: 13+

Review:
I have to say this bar far one of my favorite fantasy books of all time, and I read quite a bit of fantasy. Lia is a princess who is to be married off to the prince of another kingdom, whom she's never met. This is terrifying to her, all of her choices were taken away without a thought to what she wanted, so she runs away. That's in the first book, and my how she grows throughout the series. These books tell stories of multiple characters, and how each of them grows through out each. I'm extremely happy for the way this beautiful and dark story ended. I found myself stroking the pages each time another part of Pauline's story was reveled. My heart ached as characters were torn apart, and I hoped for a better ending for these characters that had been through hell and back. Her story building is amazing you will see, hear, smell, and believe everything coming off the pages. Some of the struggles are mirrors of real life challenges many face. Trust issues, respect, and underestimating the power of hope. 
This is a series you don't want to miss. You'll love it, hate it, cry and laugh. These characters will never leave you. Ever. It's just extremely beautiful, and I can't stop thinking about it!!! <3
