![]() ![]() We spoke to Kami and Margaret about their motivation for writing the series (it was an accident!) and what they think about seeing their storylines played out on the big screen. As Beautiful Creatures captivates a new audience through the film (which comes out in February), the series is coming to end with the release of the fourth and final book, Beautiful Redemption. Acclaimed actors such as Viola Davis, Emma Thompson, and Emmy Rossum are playing supporting roles, which is revealing of the strength of the book's smart plot and writing. The story has resonated: Kami Garcia and Maraget Stohl's first book is being adapted into a movie starring newcomers (and Teen Vogue Young Hollywood favorites) Alden Ehrenreich and Alice Englert. It's a book that addresses pressing issues such as bullying and intolerance within the context of American history. ![]() But Beautiful Creatures isn't like other teen fiction series. When there's a strong, spirited female character and a fantasy tie-in, the comparison is inevitable. These days, every supernatural young adult novel is hawked as the next Twilight or Hunger Games. ![]()
