Wow, I....
Ms. Hand, what have you done to me?
This book was such an emotional roller coaster, I can't even tell you.
Clara. Clara's honestly one of the YA heroines that I really love. She's just so... I don't know, there's something about her that just makes me love her. When she complains about something, it never annoys me. I kind of sympathize with her, you know? There's just that likable-ness in her that I can't really explain very well. And besides:
How could I not love her after saying that?
Anyhow, let us move on to Tucker and Christian... Oh boy.
In my review of book one, I stated that Christian was a mere obstacle to me, and that my heart belonged completely, 1000% to Tucker. But in this book, Cynthia Hand made both these guys completely irresistable. I cannot deny that Christian swept me off my feet in this book. I both love and hate Hand for being able to do that. I love it because that's incredible to me, to make both guys in a love triangle absolutely amazing. I hate it because choosing between them will be very hard to do. She made me question my faithfulness to Team Tucker.
Why can't we make a team Tustian? Or Chriscker or whatever. ._. Because I love them both. Choosing just one of them is impossible. ;_;
But yeah, I can't think of anything else to say that won't spoil the book, but I will say that waiting for book three is physically painful. I'm not kidding.

“Before I moved here, I never got the whole love-triangle thing. You know, in movies or romance novels or whatnot, where there’s one chick that all the guys are drooling over, even though you can’t see anything particularly special about her. But oh, no, they both must have her. And she’s like, oh dear, however will I choose? William is so sensitive, he understands me, he swept me off my feet, oh misery, blubber, blubber, but how can I go on living without Rafe and his devil-may-care ways and his dark and only-a-little-abusive love? Upchuck.”

Believe me, I wish I could give it more stars. D:
Chriscker sounds good. I totally think the phase with Tucker is over because it means she is deciding to go with what she has to do (okay fine, I'm slightly more Christian than Tucker but can you blame me? That kiss was hot!) but oh Tucker, with his sexy smile and you know, general prettiness. I wonder how Book the Three will go.
This now goes on my TBR List! Thanks
I plan on starting Unearthly soon, I'm really looking forward to it!
You really should start it soon. It's one of the very very very VERY few awesome YA angel lit out there.
Nice review, I agree with everything you said! I feel like I don't know who I'm rooting for anymore. After I read this book I felt like nothing was black or white anymore. I could literally sympathize with every character in one way or another.....even Samjeeza.
OMG! After I read your review, it made me want to continue this series so bad! ;DI admit I really hate love triangle in Book 1 because... Yeah.. Tucker character is so much better than Christian. I like Tucker more than Christian. But, their moments are not the main plot of the Book. Conversely, Christian and Clara moments are the main plot. They are Interesting and Suspenseful. So, their moments captured my heart more!
But after I read your review.. hahaaa I like Love Triangle if it done very well. But, If I take the wrong side, I think I maybe die in the last Book! :P
Awesome review Frozen!! I can't wait to check out book 3 also!!!
