Review:

Boundless was a great conclusion to the trilogy. It’s filled with action, secrets and struggles. Clara wants to be there for Angela but Angela won’t come clear to her. Christian is giving her space, but she can’t deny the fact that she’s drawn to him. However, her feelings for Tucker are more confusing than ever. The love triangle between Clara, Tucker and Christian will leave some fans happy and others not so much. I wasn’t happy, but it didn’t make me enjoy the book less.

Clara is still young, still trying to figure out who she is and in Boundless, she takes on the protector role. Her brother has lost faith, and she tries to do what’s best for him. They’re mother is gone, and their father was never around, so Clare tries to fill that position. When her father starts training her and trying to sharpen her skills, it’s nice to see him around.

The Unearthly series is one of my favorite young adult series, and I highly recommend it. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, so you’ll have to read it for yourself. This series will have your emotions running high, and keep your on the edge of your seat.
