I always go into reading YA novels a little unsure of what to expect. Some I really enjoy and totally get and others just make me laugh out loud. With those, somehow I just can't suspend my disbelief. Not a problem here:) Warrior Beautiful, however, reminds me of J.K. Rowling and Rick Riordan rolled into one. That's how epic the battle scenes are in this book. They are so descriptive and full of such great action, I couldn't help but wonder what graphic artists and cgi techs could do with it on film.The other thing I really enjoyed about this book is how the author ramps up the stakes for the characters in every single chapter. You think that they've experienced all they can handle . . . until the next chapter and it just get worse, but then you empathize so much with them and how they decide to solve it. I also really admired Scout's love for her sister and the sacrifices she is willing to make for her. Scout's relationship with Trey was painful to watch unfold. She has so much to hold against him. The author has you wondering the whole time if it is beyond repair. Since Warrior Beautiful ends on a cliffhanger, I'm quite excited for the next installment.
