Boundless (Unearthly #3) by Cynthia Hand

ebook416 pages
Published February 1st 2013 by HarperCollins Australia (first published January 22nd 2013)

The past few years held more surprises than part angel Clara Gardner ever could have anticipated. Yet, through the dizzyingly high of falling in love for the first time to the agonizing low of losing someone close to her, one thing that remained constant was the knowledge that she was never meant to have a normal life. Now Clara is finally ready to fulfill her destiny, as the battle against the Black Wings and their minions looms on the horizon. And part of that destiny is being with Christian, even if her heart still aches for Tucker. When one of the people Clara trusts most betrays her, she finds herself fighting for her life-and the safety of the ones she loves.

5 stunning golden stars for this very beautiful novel. 

Brilliant. Stunning. Wonderful. All praises for this series. I couldn't explain how much I love this book from start to end. Everything about it was written perfectly. 

One of the best series I have read (thanks to the Blair-Waldorf-look-a-like book cover) and I will never forget how this book moved me from book one down to the last volume. 

Boundless - true to its tagged, the title has limitless creativeness and imagination. It focused on Clara’s college life at Stanford, and there her visions became darker and vivid. She has now more control of her power and has already mastered how to start the “Glory”. This is where she was trained by her Father to become an “angel warrior”, and how to control space and time by moving from one place to another. At the end of the day, Clara is not the kind of angel I thought it would be. She was special and has greater powers unlike other Angels on the book that’s why the angels, whether black or White are so interested of her.

Samjeeza, the infamous Black Wing who is so in love with Clara’s late mother, appeared every now and then on Boundless. It turned out actually that he was demoted from being a Watcher and assured Clara that she shouldn’t be afraid of him. He warned her that he should keep herself away from Asael, who happened to be Samjeeza’s brother because it was him who is so fond of powerful men of angel bloods and fancied himself as the collector of Triplares. But unfortunately, Asael happened to be Angela’s father who planned to get Webster from her by the assistance of Phen/Penamue who is the real father of Webster (obviously, it’s not Pierce) and Lucy who is the girlfriend of Clara’s brother. Too much surprising revelations! It turned out too the Maggie was very much in love of Samjeeza and she just got angry with him because he confessed that Watchers are supposed to find someone who can carry angel-bloods. Another revelation is that Christian is Asael's son which means Ange is his sibling.

Heaven and hell was depicted on this last book too, and after all the fight with Black angels, love and glory still prevailed in theend.

PS: I am 100% happy! I've been rooting for Tucker since day 1 and I am very pleased to know that Clara ended with her one true love. :)
