Hallowed by Cynthia Hand

4.0

Hallowed:
Things are getting intense now. After the ending of book one, I didn't know where this was going to go. But not long in and wow. Everything jumps to another level in this one and I didn't know what to make of it. There were some parts that were predictable, however, it didn't stop me from loving the book. It drove me to find out more. 

Again, I really enjoyed Clara in Hallowed. She not only became more independent but there was a lot more she had to consider. And I really think that made her more likable. Clara had to make some decisions that were questionable but also drove her in a way that moved the story along.  

The love triangle was much more intense in this one. And will I still didn’t love it, I think that Cynthia Hand wrote it in a way that really worked. In saying that I really didn’t like Christian in this one, the way that he pushed to be with Clara, really put me off. I adored Tucker. He was thrown into a world that he knew nothing about. Into a world he didn’t think was real. And he tried, he tried to understand what he could for Clara.

Friendship was a really big theme throughout Hallowed and I really enjoyed it. At first, we see Clara struggle with keeping her human and Angel friends separate and even harder keeping them together.

Overall, Hallowed was a really good addition to the Unearthly series.  The tension between Clara and the Angel world is intensifying and that just adds to the novel so well. A really good middle book to a series.
