Boundless Unearthly Cynthia Hand Books

I actually finished this book earlier this week, but I needed time to calm down from the disappointment before I visited this world again. As for plot and pacing, the book was amazing. I severely enjoyed the book up to the end. As the end got closed though, I started shaking and says 'No, no, no, NO!' It was not pretty. In order to get the book out of my sight, I had my mom read it. Apparently, I was then walking around my room all day muttering like a madwoman and talking to myself. You see what books do to me! I literally cried after I finished the book. Supposedly, the beginning and end of a book are the hardest to write. That could be the reason why I didn't enjoy the ending of Boundless as much as I should have.

The main character is Clara. I love her character. I love how she's written and she's so well done. I question some of her choices, but that what makes her feel real. After all, nobody's perfect. Her best friend Angela on the other hand, I have problems with. Angela is nice and sweet and all that, but she's an idiot. I really really REALLY want to smack her sometimes. Seriously. She. Acts. So. Stupid. And it's not just normal teen stupid either. It's REALLY stupid. Some... interesting events take place with her in Boundless and I just want to walk up to her and say, "Well what did you think would happen?" Let's just say, this book is NOT for young readers. Then there's the Christian/Tucker love triangle. I want to shake Clara and say "Go for Christian Clara! Christian!" But she just doesn't listen to me! She just keeps agonizing over which boy she should be with. Sigh, well, you'll find out who it is in the end.

Here's what I said to my parents after finishing the book, "A book doesn't have to be wrapped in a nice, big, bright bow or anything, but it needs to be a little bow or a knot. That, or it can have a bunch of loose string everywhere that's wrapped up in a spinoff. But all Boundless has is a bit of ribbon lightly draped around it, or one of those fake bows that stick on. I need a spinoff, or something! It can't end that way." Hence, I've decided to petition Cynthia Hand for a spinoff of the Unearthly series until she complies. I need to know everyone's fate! The book was really building up to something that never really happens. There's a bit more lead-up to it, but nothing more. What am I supposed to do when people are still heartbroken or unsure at the end? It's just not right. But, the book really was good quality and I've done a lot of complaining. I still love Cynthia Hand as an author and enjoy her books. If she ever writes more books (preferably a spinoff of the Unearthly trilogy) I'll read them. So, because the book was still good, but I wasn't satisfied, Boundless gets four stars.

Boundless Unearthly Cynthia Hand Books Reviews

Boundless begins not long after Clara and Angela have returned from Italy. They are enrolled as freshman at Stanford University, strangely normal for two angel girls. So much has changed for Clara... in love, life, and for her divine purpose. I think this was my favorite book of the series. It was a perfect finale to a wonderful series!

Like the others, the writing is beautiful, sweeping you right along with our beloved characters. They have changed and have grown and are dealing with very adult problems. There is so much depth in these books, and in this one in particular. There is so much emotion mixed with sadness and unexpected moments of joy and humor. There were a lot of heart-stopping moments in this book fear, happiness, sadness, romance.

The love triangle really came to a head in Boundless, with so much back and forth by Clara that at times, I got a little annoyed with it. Because of that, it was a little hard to celebrate the choice she makes because with that choice came pain. And, loving both Christian and Tucker, that made it difficult to be as satisfied with the ending as I think I should have been. There was also some predictability in the "bad guy" but getting there was still just as much fun!

It's hard to say goodbye to some series, after getting to know the characters and falling in love with them. This was definitely one of those series. There was such a wide range of emotions that came with the series as a whole and, as a reader, I became connected to the characters. Unearthly was mysterious as we were introduced to the angels. Hallowed was more than a little depressing (but in a good way, if that's possible). Radiant gave us insight into Angela and left us wondering. This one, for much of it, was rather grim. There were times when I wondered just how Angela or Clara would find their way out of their own personal pits of hell. But these are the things that kept me reading!

Things to love about Boundless...

--The tone of the writing. The author does a great job capturing the voice of teenagers, without that stilted quality that can come with adults writing YA.
--The twisting, turning plot lines. There was a lot more to this book, both in Clara's own stories and those of the other characters.
--Angela's part in it all. She had so much more to do with it all than I ever expected and I liked that twist.

Things I wanted more of...

--Jeffrey. I wanted to understand his divine purpose and I just didn't get it.

My recommendation A fantastic end to a great series, so read, read, READ!
First allow me to state that I have read the entire series and a plethora of books and this genre. I love books and I'm a total zap for a love story but I couldn't find it here! I don't think I have ever been so disappointed at the ending of a book! You mean to tell me that Christian fights for her, first next to her, supports her, follows her to hell, rejection after rejection and she stays with the guy who's nauseated by her light? Do you have any idea what is like to be rejected and continue fighting for the one person you love? Tucker let her go, he didn't fight for her, he was mean to her, and he was cocky because he knew she loved him. I'm heartbroken for and with Christian! Christian who sacrificed so much. It was his love that go them out of hell; his love that filled her with strength; his love that protected her from harm, but none of it was enough. Love didn't win in this book, the love that makes you strong, that helps you heal, that makes you want more of everything, that love didn't win. What we have here is a poorly constructed sappy love triangle where true love is overlooked because of Clara's stubbornness! I hated this ending, I hate to see love fail!
