I loved this book so much but I'm having a hard time putting into words exactly what it is that I liked about it. Why is it that it's easier for me to write at length about a book I didn't like as much but when it comes to the ones I truly loved, I find I'm at a loss for words? Does this happen to anyone else? Well, I'm going to do my best to explain, anyway. 
 It was very long and drawn out, but the plot never dragged or felt boring, only engaging and near the end, very fast paced. 
 It throws tons of questions at the reader in the beginning, but it never felt confusing or frustrating, only intriguing and fascinating. 
 It has a male protagonist written by female authors, but Ethan never seemed inauthentic. Instead he was very well fleshed out and genuine. 
 The writing was very well done. The setting was perfectly described and laid out. The characters, both main and side, were brilliant and distinct. 
 I just loved it! What more can I say? 
 In short: Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl is a well written and intriguing novel with wonderful characters and a perfectly laid out setting.
