*Beauty of Darkness* (Remnant Chronicles #3) by Mary E. Pearson

Here we are again. Another amazing trilogy concluded. I find it rare that I enjoy all three books in a trilogy as well as the conclusion itself but the Remnant Chronicles proved worthy.

The covers throughout this entire series have been amazing, but the third and final cover has probably been my favorite. I mean, just look at this!

1. Characters: I adored the characters all the way throughout this series! The main character never annoyed me or made choices that I couldn't understand. She continually had tough decisions to make and I feel that she was incredibly strong and mature compared to other protagonists in similar series. The secondary and side characters continued to grow and develop and I enjoyed getting to know them all more as well. I'm sad to say good-bye!!

2. Story: Where do I even begin? I love everything about this story! It's not the cliche magic, one-girl-saves-everyone type thing. Have ya'll read the Lunar Chronicles? You know how the story is woven between the characters and they each bring something to the table resulting in a team effort? Although this does not alternate between every single POV, everyone has their own strength and their own role and I really like that. The story was easy to follow, but also kept me guessing- a combination that is not often nailed in YA literature, let alone YA fantasy.

3. Author's Writing Style: More. More. I want more. Mary E. Pearson confirmed that a two-book deal has been laid out to continue the adventures in the world of the Remnant Chronicles- following new characters of course. The first, Dance of Thieves, is set to be released next summer- 2018. Yay!! Yes, I will absolutely continue reading other works from this author. Her writing was perfection in my opinion. I believe I said it in a previous review for one of her other books in this series, but yes, it feels like she writes just for me.

4. Overall Rating: 5 Stars. Every star ever available. I give this book and this entire series 5 stars because I cannot think of a single complaint (except that I yearn for more of course).

5. Similar reading: Check out these other series that remind me of the Remnant Chronicles! Click the covers to visit their Goodreads pages and add them to your tbr!
