christina_likes_to_read's review against another edition
4.0
I didn't enjoy this book quite as much as I enjoyed the first two. I felt like the main character got a little too whishy washy about some things and some parts seemed to pass too quickly and be resolved too quickly while others dragged on. Despite that, I really enjoyed this series and look forward to reading more this author.

I liked this book. A lot. I'm struggling with how to review the book without spoilers, but let me just say that fans on both sides of the love triangle (which really seems more central than any of the plot twists) will find things in this book to love - and things to hate. Clara struggles to sort out her feelings for both Tucker and Christian. And it truly is a struggle. There were many times in the book where I honestly wasn't sure which choice she was going to make. Still, I felt myself being frustrated by the extremely small role that Tucker played in Boundless. Honestly, since it had been a while since I had read the last book in the series, I found myself struggling to even remember what it was about Tucker that I loved so much. Since he only popped up in this book for short stints, I really had to rely on my memory for this, whereas the character of Christian was much better developed in the book. I would have liked a bit more balance since Clara herself was so unsure of her feelings.
As far as the rest of the plot goes, I thought that Hand gave us a satisfyingly exciting read. There were many twists and turns (a few of which I saw coming, but some that I did not) and the mystery behind Clara, Angela, and Christian's visions was unfolded slowly, but with many clues along the way. The end result was a fitting end to the Unearthly series - an end that will most likely satisfy most fans of the series and still keep them hoping for more. (Perhaps a future spin-off series? Who knows?)

The ending nearly killed me! Oh my heart! And is this really the end? Clara won't have more adventures? I will miss her and her world. Please, let it be more...

I loved this series, until the end. I felt there was no real closure for my favorite character. I finished the series feeling empty and void...

I'm so disappointed!!! I loved the first two books, but this one let me down on so many levels. The biggest disappointment was definitely the love triangle. For the first time ever, I found myself on the losing end of a love triangle.
Another disappointment was Clara. I liked her in the first two books but she actually annoyed me quite a bit in this one. She was more self-involved and out of touch with her feelings. She was unfair many times to Christian and was a poor friend to Angela.
The last major disappointment was the ending. I felt like everything was too convenient and I hated that everything centered around Clara. The end tied up a little too neatly. I also wanted to see more action.
Even though I closed this book feeling let down, I still enjoyed the world the author created and was addicted enough to finish Boundless within 24 hours.
2.5 Stars.

While I loved Tucker in the first book, I thought the reasons why Clara broke up with him in the second book, were valid. I was actually excited to see an author defy the "one true love" trope. Huge bummer on that end. For a series that focused so heavily on the romance, I was completely let down. It's not that I didn't like Tucker, it was just that he wasn't very present for the last two books. Meanwhile the author established this amazing bond between Clara and Christian. I felt led astray.Another disappointment was Clara. I liked her in the first two books but she actually annoyed me quite a bit in this one.

It was fun that her and Christian were supposedly equal in powers. And yet, for the most part, Clara could do a lot more than him, which didn't make sense to me.Even though I closed this book feeling let down, I still enjoyed the world the author created and was addicted enough to finish Boundless within 24 hours.
