Radical Read-Along: Day 1 Discussion

Music Plus Books
Hey guys! Yay for the first discussion post. So yesterday, to kick start the Unearthly Radical Read-Along, I read 4 chapters. So today, along with everyone else, I'll be discussing! Today will be for Chapters 5-9. Of course, this post will be comprised of spoilers.

As soon as I started reading, I knew I would love it. I love the subtle way that Cynthia Hand introduced the world. I love the concept and how even though Clara is an angel, she still has the normal teenage girl characteristics. Does anyone else think the chapter names are awesome? I always like it when the chapters are more than just 'Chapter One'. I can't wait to get deeper into the story because right now, there are so many characters being introduced. I've labeled Kay the jealous b*tch, Angela the 'weird but going to be a big part of the story girl' and Christian the main guy of course. Then there's Wendy and I don't know how to feel about her. I just feel like there's something fishy about her but I could be wrong. The back in time flashback thing in Chapter 4 was a really cool way to give background to the story. My favourite quote/scene was:
“And when was this?”
“It was April,” she said. “1906.”
 I felt like I was going to throw up. “That would make you what, a hundred and ten?”
“A hundred and sixteen, this year.”
I just though of Twilight and cracked up so much! Haha, okay, now it's your turn to tell me what you though of the first four chapters.

But before that, today I'm hosting a challenge where you could win your own e-copy of Hallowed, the next in the series! All you have to do is remake the cover of Unearthly. It doesn't have to be anything special, just something simple is fine. After all, it's just for fun! You can add it to your discussion post or you can make a separate one if you'd like.
