*exhales deeply* 
 I recommend Boundless. 
 I control my destiny. 
 ...What an incredible journey this series was. *awestruck* So... do you want to know who Clara ended up with? *wiggles eyebrows* 
 When reviews started popping up last month, I was getting crazy! My pre-order copy from The Book Depository will only be delivered 2-3 weeks here in Manila. And each glowing review that I scanned (okay, read and consumed) made me even crazier. And my GR-TFG friends were aware of it. I was on text blast mode every time I got agitated! Oh, the insanity of it. Perhaps this is the first time I was truly rooting for a love interest, to the point that it will ruin the whole series for me if he did not end up with Clara. Yes, that was my crazy moment. Haha! 
 Story-wise, the conclusion to this angel-themed series was really, really good. I have my apprehensions but still, I can say that Boundless solidified its stand for the Unearthly series as one of the most concrete angel books out there. 
 My dealbreaker for love triangles: the feelings of the heroine to her love interest must be absolute. It means that from start to finish, there is no doubt that her heart belongs to that one guy. No ifs. No buts. Just him. I do not want my heroine to come across as undecisive, conflicted, and easy-to-sway on her emotions. If that was the case, I'm outta there. 
 It came as no surprise that Christian will have more face time than Tucker in Boundless. Clara was going to Stanford with Angela to figure out her friend's purpose there. So naturally, Christian will tag along. His visions were still connected to Clara's in some ways. So really, Tucker (my sweet little human) has no place in Clara's life in California. =( 
 I admit I was getting crankier with Clara-Christian scenes, and there were lots of it. Studying, training, fighting. I was already sold out to the idea that Clara will end up with him. And it broke my heart. Imagine me trudging through the pages just because I want to get it over it already. *sigh* 
 Then came the twist. and the climax. and the end. 
 I was left reeling, close to tears in fact. I was even ready to blast Cynthia Hand online for the pain she caused me! But it was pain, heartbreak, and sorrow that I'd be willing to be subjected to again. Because I was happy on how everything turned out for Clara. Happy, but not quite satisfied. Is that even possible? 
 Jeffrey. His character has a lot of potential, but Jeffrey was written obtusely and was underdeveloped, as if he was just an afterthought. It would've been nice if his purpose was defined and cleared to compensate with the hurt and loss he experienced all throughout this book. 
 Angela. She was not my favorite character, but what a stunner it was that she was at the center of it all. But in the end, she was left in tatters. What's up with that? 
 Samjeeza. Certainly the most blindsiding character! My heart went out to him. A simple request that has so much hold on his eternity... just wow. This is my favorite angle of the story. So tearful and disquieting. :( 
 Christian. What a remarkable supporting character, but... I didn't liked how he was built to be this undeniable hero, being Clara's source of her glory, and yet.. I thought it was unfair, even for him. And I'm not even Team Christian! I'd understand if he disillusioned himself as Clara's Knight in Shining Armor. But to be the reason behind Clara's source of glory? Mixed signals, I tell you. 
 Tucker. Like I said, he was barely there in 2/3 of Boundless. But his quick appearances were heartwarming, spine-tingling, and 100% emotional. What's not to love with this guy? Team Tucker FTW! 
 Clara. She was kick-ass. Dry humor, unfailing loyalty, and fathomless goodness - that's her. Only thing I was not in favor of: confusing feelings towards Christian and Tucker in the middle of the book. Have you gone bonkers or something, Clara? We all know who you love! So pick him! 
 Boundless almost rendered me to a book slump last night. It was, for a lack of better word, poignantly beautiful. What an awesome way to celebrate Valentine's Day. =) 
 I love Tucker and that's absolute.
