The Beauty of Darkness is the third and final book in the Remnant Chronicles. As such, I really can’t say anything more on the synopsis without spoiling the prior books.
What I can say is, I’m not sure if it’s me or the book. I’ve been feeling very indifferent to every book I’ve read recently. I know this is YA and I’m certainly no longer the target audience, but I see adults gushing over it all the time and I do love a YA fantasy. That’s not to say I didn’t like the book. I did. It was technically fine in every way, and I think if I read this at 16 I would have been obsessed. At 29, however, I struggled to care. It felt very predictable, and if I’m honest, though I could see the ending coming, I still felt lied to. (I know prophecies are never straight forward, but still).
To be fair, I didn’t love book 1, so maybe I should have just given up there. I just wanted to live it because it sounded like something I should.
I do think this series will work for so many people, and I think it’s a great book for the intended audience, just not me.
