Yes - well some predictable but some very unpredictable events in this instalment. Read this and the missing scene. Makes you really start to understand Christian a lot more. Jeffrey is still an enigma. Would really like to know his story.
This was so frustrating. I disliked most of the characters. The love triangle overshadowed the whole plot. I really had a hard time with HALLOWED.
The whole book was Clara-centric. If it didn't involve Clara, it wasnt in the book. Clara, Clara, Clara. When something bad happens, Clara blames herself. She doesn't think of anyone else who is hurting. All that matters to her is herself. Who cares that her brother is obviously going down a steep slope and might be going down a bad road? Clara has a love triangle that's bothering her. Who cares that Jeffery lost someone too? Clara can only remember her memories with that person. Who cares that her friends feel left out? Clara has a love triangle to deal with. I know she's a teenager, but I really couldn't relate. I'm the same age as her. If I went through what she did, I would spend every second with my family and friends as I could instead of feeling sorry for myself. The main reason she annoyed me was because she dropped everyone in her life because she wanted to deal with the love triangle. I hope she develops more in Boundless.
As you can tell, I really didn't like Clara. But don't even get me started on Angela. I really didn't like her. I liked Jeffery and Samjeeza more than anyone. AND THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE BAD ONES.
The only other thing I disliked was the love triangle. It was just a big focal point of the book. The book would be better without it.
This isn't a bad book. I really enjoyed it. But if I can't connect with the characters, I can't enjoy the book as much. Better luck next time?

I really like the first book but I LOVED this book, it has twist and turns some I saw coming and some I really didn't. I love how she grows in this book how I started cheating for the other guy even if it sucked to hurt the other. I got so into this book that I was crying like no tomorrow in some parts and felt joy in others, for a book to wring so emotions you know it's a winner
*3.5 Stars
Hallowed picks up right where Unearthly left off. After saving Tucker from the fire she is now in the "everything-is-perfect" stage of her relationship with Tucker. But throughout the book she becomes closer with Christian and starts to get confused about how she feels with everything that's happening. AND THEN she has a new reoccurring vision that someone is about to die and stuff's about to get really messed up over here...
This book was unexpectedly good. I guessed a majority of the plot line before it happened and it wasn't one of those books that keeps me up at night reading and obsessing about it, but it was really well written and I could tell that a lot of thought went into the story line and background research. I wish a little more happened in the book and it was less depressing....but I guess looming death hanging over the entire book has a depressing aspect...
When I read [b:Unearthly|7488244|Unearthly (Unearthly, #1)|Cynthia Hand|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1324782984s/7488244.jpg|9621771] I absolutely loved Tucker, I thought that he was the best. But in Hallowed I totally fell in love with Christian. He is SO AWESOME. Plus they are actually perfect together. Plus Tucker became sorta annoying in this book. Plus he's human.
I can't want to read Boundless and see what happens!

I enjoyed this well enough. It was a quick read -- the first one was better, though. I do believe I'll read the next installment.
Holy crap. I mean, whoa.
For the majority of this book (around 250 pages) I was severely annoyed with it.
And then it turned into wow.
I resigned myself from (my love) Tucker in the same sense that Clara did which was really not but then kinda yes (that didn't even make sense, what).
The last 150 pages of this book were so great, to be honest. It was so emotional and I felt it in my core when the thing happened, the water just sat in my eyes waiting to be let out (which they unfortunately didn't), and wow. I didn't like Christian as much in Unearthly, but my view of him really changed in this book.
For so long I was ready to give this book 3 stars, but the ending was so good that I found that it would actually not be enough.

Musím říct, že tohle pro mě bylo zklamáním. Ne proto, že by knížka byla horší než předchozí díl, ale myslím to v širším měřítku. Teď, častěji než kdykoliv předtím, pro mě knihy znamenají únik od reality, ale to o čem poslední dobou čtu, mě příliš příjemnými pocity nenaplňuje. Proč jsou poslední dobou knihy plné smutných konců? Chápu, že happyendy jsou otřepané, ale nebylo by to příjemné zas jednou číst něco hezkého, něco milého, uvolňujícího? Nepříjemností mám v reálném životě dost.
Once again, Cynthia Hand has outdone herself with this stunning sequel!
Fans of the first book Unearthly, this will be right up your alley and a very enjoyable second book to what's turning out to be an AWESOME trilogy!
I can't wait to read the 2.5 novella Radiant and then book #3 Boundless, to see how it all ends! :)

CHRISTIAN!!!!!!!!!! :DD
I will be the first to admit that I gave Unearthly 4 stars because I felt like Clara had picked the wrong guy. I honestly skipped a good chunk of the book because I didn’t want to hear about Clara and Tucker. I wanted to hear about Clara and Christian. And boy, I got what I wanted in this one. Besides the Black Wings, the relationship between these three are my main focus. It’s the best for Tucker if he just stays away from Clara. I wish I could tell him.
I liked this one much better than Unearthly, solely for the reason stated above. But there was also a lot more mystery. We find out more about what and who Clara is. I was shocked at a few things, and there’s more heartache in this one book than I’ve read in a while. I didn’t cry, but there was definitely an ache in my heart. I think if I had a better relationship with my own mother, I’d feel differently. You’ll just have to read to find out.
