The Beautiful Series Book 3: The Righteous by Renee Ahdieh

The Beautiful Book 3

Following the explosive events of The Damned, Odette faces a vampire's final death. The Court of the Lions have done everything they can to save her but have failed. A healer from the Sylvan Vale could help her, but only Arjun Desai, as a half fey, can cross the boundary between realms. The Sylvan Vale is a world Arjun despises, and in return, it despises him. But knowing it could save Odette, he returns to the Vale with all haste, leaving the mirrored tare between the two worlds open and unwittingly setting the stage for both love and war.

It's mere days until Pippa Montrose is to wed Phoebus Devereux and become a member of his well-heeled family, offering salvation to her own. But Celine is missing. Pippa has no idea where her best friend has gone, but she's certain it's in the company of vampire Sébastien Saint Germain and that Arjun can lead her to them. Pippa enjoins the help of Eloise, the daughter of a powerful sorceress, to discover the gateway Arjun uses to travel between worlds. Pippa, tired of hesitating in life, marches right through in search of her friend. But what she discovers on the other side is a dangerous, duplicitous world full of mischief and magic she doesn't understand, and most unexpectedly, she finds love.

In this latest installment of The New York Times bestselling series that began with The Beautiful, Pippa journeys to the treacherous and beguiling world of the fey in search of answers only to fall in love.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Once again I failed to reread the series before starting the next book, but bits and pieces did start to come back as I was reading this latest installment in the series so that was good! The story does start out a bit slow but once you hit a certain part the story is fast and the ending has plenty of twists and turns and a super surprising last page to say the least! The world just got bigger and now I'm super excited to see what comes next. So this story for the most part follows Pippa and Arjun. There are a few other points of views here and their but mainly it is their story. It starts with Arjun being told he needs to find a healer to heal his dear friend. For him it means going back to the place of his mother and where he is not welcomed. Plus he owes a debt to the enemy of his mother's court. Pippa is worried for Celine. And once Pippa claims you as her own, she will fight for you. So in a foolish move she follows Arjun and ends up in Sylvan Vale days before she is set to marry another. Things only get complicated from there for both Pippa and Arjun. We learn a great deal of Pippa and Arjun's pasts. Like Pippa marrying in order to provide for her two younger siblings she had to leave behind. Arjun's life has being known as a half-breed among these fey. I really enjoyed the story. Like I said, it was a bit slow at first but then it turns into a story you can't put down. And I love this author so much so I was glad to be pulled back into her world. And with that ending. Well I need a lot more information! Can't wait for the next one!
