A review by revanchist
Hallowed by Cynthia Hand
5.0
They're right. It's really hard to rate, because it wouldn't appeal to everyone. But heck yeah, it did to me.
So, as the synopsis said, this is more about loss, love, confusion, hope, fear and struggle to know who you really are. And I admit, it contains so many revelations - I mean it - that I thought my head was going to explode! I just finished it and I can't believe it's the same thing I was reading yesterday. For me, I thought it was amazing because it was a perfect sequel. The first book is quite more straightforward and shallow, but in this one things were a bit deeper and you need some thinking to fully understand everything. There's no doubt that others might think that Hallowed is tedious and boring.
Please let me vent all my feelings for a short while.
Sometimes, I even found myself crying. I envy Clara so much. Because I'd rather live a week with my family radiating off love and joy (cheesy, eh?), than stay in this house of ours with this f*cked up fake family of mine. Yeah, I got emotional. Sorry for cursing. And Angela's speech kinda summarized everything. Something like "..You must live now, right now.." And Margaret's words stayed with me too. пїЅпїЅпїЅMy dear sweet girl. You take on so much. You feel things so deeply. But you will be happy, my darling. You will shine.пїЅпїЅпїЅ
Let that happen when the third book comes.
PS. I loved the part when Cynthia Hand mentioned Hulk a.k.a Bruce Banner. He

How cool is that to have angels as parents?! I FEEL SO JEALOUS! Tucker, oh my gully, you don't deserve what you got I'm a hundred percent sure! I do not care about Clara's screwed up purpose, please, no. God, why. And Christian, I don't know.. I seriously doubt everything about him right now. His revelation is sooo huge I just can't..you know. If somebody told you that you belong together, what would you do? I don't have the faintest idea. Eeek, I haven't had these kind of feelings for a while. It's obvious that I loved it. With the tiniest hint of pain. Of waiting.Sometimes, I even found myself crying. I envy Clara so much.
