My Thoughts:
Hello everyone and welcome back to Katie’s Corner! Today I have a very first Mini Book Review, and for some time I won’t be having this feature. Today I am covering a short novel from one of my favourite series – Unearthly by Cynthia Hand. I have covered two books from this series already, and you can read reviews of Unearthly and Boundless by clicking on them.
I enjoyed this short novel for many reasons, first of all, it gives quite a lot of insight on Angela, as half of the book is from Angels’s POV. We get to see a big part of friendship between Angela and Clara. In the beginning you just want to drag Angela and give her a big of your thoughts about all her secrecy. I mean, she wants to know everything about everyone else, but when the time comes to open up to Clara, she just clamps up. I think the author wished to show us Angela from another side. And even if that side frustrates you a lot, you still love Angela.
If you haven’t read the series yet, this is your chance to start it. It is absolutely amazing. Hope you enjoy it to its fullest and don’t forget to share your thoughts below! Stay tuned to Katie’s Corner for more reviews and promos! Happy reading!
XOXO
