Hallowed by Cynthia Hand
4.0

Book two was also great, but just a LEETLE bit uneventful. Cuz the whole thing revolves around one thing and this and that.

But nothing ever really seemed like a filler. I do have this classic aversion to second books in trilogies, so maybe it’s that. But really, I loved it.

Not to mention mass heartbreak on the loose.

Ho ho ho, read this series y’all. Seriously, I’ve been up all night, my kindle actually has some books, because once I read the sampler for book one, I bought digital copies of all three, and damn. I have had 3 cups of coffee, with just ONE sugar, and I’ve eaten through half the pantry.

This is beatifically pleasing, for some reason.

Seriously, this is not only addictive like a soap opera, but I feel like it made me grow. Unearthly is more than just a love triangle and a girl finding her purpose. It’s about life, ye truth, what binds you and what sets you free.

Also, it doesn’t hurt that the writing is pretty good, and the world makes you shit you pants left and centre.
