Our view
“Beautiful Darkness”, the second of the four “Caster Chronicles”, takes the story into darker territory and lets Link and Ridley shine. It also tells more about Ethan’s mother. Some readers prefer it to the first book, some see a step down, with rescues that arrive too conveniently by magic, and some are not won over by Ethan and Lena as a couple.
