Unearthly by Cynthia Hand Goodreads link here Released 1/04/11 egalley from netgalley (thank you) Wow. It is so much harder to write great reviews than bad ones. What can I say besides WOW. This novel is beautiful. It is unputdownable . Clara is wonderful. Wow. I lack a good adjective for this book. Wonderful just isn't powerful enough. I read this in one shot because I just couldn't put it down. The writing is stupendous. I was sucked in right away. So, how to write a spoiler-free review and still prove to you that you should stop what you are doing and run to the bookstore? Hmm . I will point out my 3 favorite things. One. Clara has a Purpose (don't we all, but her purpose is a purpose with a capital "P"). She never waivers about having a purpose, but instead grapples with how to remain true to herself while accomplishing her purpose. Clara is very mature. Two. Clara is already on task when we meet her. Thank God, no angst about " OMG I'm an angel...
