Review: One of the best finales I've ever read! - This has got to be one of the best finales I've ever read, and easily the best book I've read so far this year. Seriously, I've read or heard about several finales to series that were either huge disappointments, or at the very least, didn't meet readers' expectations. For example, even though I loved the series, I thought that Mockingjay was very slow-paced and somewhat boring in comparison to the first two books in the series. I cannot say that about Boundless, though. I'm having a hard time even putting my feelings into organized words, so if this comes out a bit rambling, that's why. The book starts off as Clara starts college, and it seems a little slow at first. But later in the book, little things that I may not have even thought much of became important. This book was very well thought out. There was nothing extraneous about it. What I loved the most was the action. Whereas many last books have less action than previous books, this one has more. From about the halfway point, big things start happening, and an epic battle ensues. However, I was always on the edge of my seat, expecting bad things to happen when they didn't, and not expecting things to happen when they did. The story lines of all the major characters converge in this book (Clara, Christian & Tucker, obviously, but we also see Angela, Jeffrey, and even Samjeeza) in intense and unexpected ways, and I found myself breathless, wondering what they were getting themselves into or how they were going to get out of certain situations. Of course, at the center of the story was the ever-present love triangle between Clara, Christian, and Tucker. Honestly, this was one of the hardest triangles I've ever read because I could not pick a side. Sure, there was the one I preferred, but maybe the other one was better for her. Who would she choose? Could Clara choose Tucker, or would it always put him in danger? Should she choose Christian, and if she did, could she get over Tucker? Right up until the very, very end, Cynthia Hand kept me guessing. As you know from my previous reviews, I hate predictability. There was maybe one thing in this whole book that I predicted, but certainly not before reading the book. It was just something that I saw coming, but it was a pretty minor thing in the scheme of things. Other than that, every time I thought I knew what was going to happen or even what was happening at the time, I would be thrown for a loop. It was great! This book had everything I would ever need in a book. There was friendship, relationships, love, trust, betrayal, action, heartwarming moments, and heartbreaking moments. There was even a moment where I thought I might have to throw my kindle across the room, and even that turned out to be not what I expected at all. In short, this book was an excellent read, an excellent end to the series, and easily my favorite of the series! Of course, that it inevitably leaves me with one problem: Now I want more! Why do final books always make me want more, when it's supposed to be the end? lol I loved this book so much that I will probably reread it, and soon! And this book makes me wish I had more stars in my rating scale. 5 (very enthusiastic) stars!

surprenant, émouvant, abouti...Un véritable cataclysme!! Bon par contre j'en veux a Cynthia Hand, du fait que Clara choisisse ....... Mais en même temps ça rend le roman tellement réaliste que bon, on s'y fait la boule au ventre. J'ai trouvé ce qu'il arrive a Tucker totalement extraordinaire. Le passage aux enfers et un de mes passages préféré, enfin bon je pourrais en raconter des tonnes. Vivement un autre roman, car Cynthia Hand est un petit génie tombé du ciel!

This is the final book in the trilogy so don't spoil books one and two for yourself. I would read them if I were you. 'Unearthly' and 'Hallowed' are amazing. A Spoiler Free Bit About The Book Clara and Christian are of to Stanford with Angela to accompany her on her journey to her purpose. But Clara has bigger problems, like the Black Wing that keeps showing up. With the help of Christian, Clara sets out to find her brother, help Angela in her purpose and work out her own destiny. But can she learn to live with the fact that she'll never have a future with the thing she wants most - Tucker? My Review I think this will be a rather short review because I don't have anything to say that I haven't said before. Like 'Unearthly' and 'Hallowed' before it, 'Boundless' blew me away with how much I enjoyed it. I fell straight back in effortlessly even though it'd been six months since I read 'Hallowed'. I remembered who everyone was without much prompting at all, it was amazing! I am so pleased that at last there's a final in a trilogy that hasn't dissapointed me in some way or another. 'Boundless' delivered everything I wanted and more. I cannot believe that Cynthia Hand doesn't have more fans! She's awesome! The plot took turns I was expecting and needed and also took me places I'd never even thought I'd go and that was a gift. It was the perfect mix of surprise and acceptance as I strolled around the world with Clara and Christian. While I'm on Christian and Clara, I must say how much I loved them. They were perfect. Faulted and real. And Clara's wit was just right. She made jokes that I would make, unlike other books where the characters are just too unbelievably funny. I loved how these angel-bloods felt human. And there's not much else to say. I loved it all the way through. I couldn't put it down and I cried. What else can you ask from a reader? Evaluation Plot - 9/10 - I knew it had to be good Way Plot Was Pursued - 9/10 - took turns I didn't expect Characters - 10/10 - perfect as before Style - 10/10 - I could read it again, the style is so easy to get into Pace - 9/10 - just right Would I recommend it? - Yes, all three were excellent reads Would I look up the author? - Yes, and I will 'Boundless' was everything I wanted and needed and more from the finale in the trilogy.

Boundless was everything I needed it to be. I was a little unsure and worried about where this book would go after Hallowed but I ended up loving it. If you’re a fan of Tucker then you’ll definitely want to read this book.
