Hallowed by Cynthia Hand
5.0
My Actual Rating: 4.5 stars
I AM TORN APART. DEVASTATED AND DAMAGED.
This book right here was one hell of an emotional ride for me. Conflicted and torn, I cannot think straight right now.
I did not cry as opposed to what I was expecting. I really thought I would but thankfully I didn't. Though not one tear was shed, I still felt lonely and sad and I'm on my period right now while reading this so I'm very emotional. Gaah. Okay. Phew.
So not much really happened here aside from, you know, the whole part where Clara figures out who among her loved ones would die. She thinks she's being punished for screwing her purpose. But I had no complaints at all. I liked it just how it was done. Not much action but just pure emotions. I think the whole purpose of Hallowed was for us to know more deeply about the characters and understand them. To have the answers to those questions that have been itching to get out of our heads. Well worry no more, fellow readers. This book will satisfy you and will give you the answers you've been longing for.
Let's now go to the love triangle which Hand has very effectively crafted. Usually, I wouldn't have problems as to whom the main character should end up with. Right from the beginning, I would already know but with this, I'm completely torn.
I kind of have a soft spot now for Christian but I'm still Team Tucker all the way. I think it's only fair that in this book, we get to see more of Christian now since Unearthly focused more on Clara and Tucker's relationship.
What else.. what else? Oh! Jeffrey! Throughout this whole book, I did feel for him. Especially in that part where he tells Clara his purpose. Ugh, I'm getting sad again. Why do I feel like Jeffrey's being neglected here? I need to see more of him in the last book.
One more thing, Wendy. Why is it that she wasn't seen much here? I think I kind of missed the idea of her. Hmph. Both she and Tucker had lesser appearances here. Oh, well..
I'll be adding more of my thoughts later if I'd still be in for it.
Will now be heading to book three. :)
