Brandon Coal _randon_oal_aylor — El libro me pareció realmente interesante. Te dio una idea del cartel de Medellín, tanto lo bueno como lo malo.

Andy Bobyarchick bobyarchick — Hildegard fue una monja benedictina que vivió en el Imperio Romano Germánico en la Edad Media, y a lo largo de su vida tuvo muchas visiones que recibió como alegorías religiosas. Cuando llegó a hacer públicas sus experiencias, fueron recibidas muy bien por sus contemporáneos, y ella pasó a ser uno de los eclesiásticos más célebres de Europa. Hasta el papa se interesó en las visiones y las pronunció auténticas. Este libro contiene la biografía que otro eclesiástico escribió algo después de la muerte de Hildegard, extractos de su correspondencia, dibujos coloridos reproducidos de algunos manuscritos de los libros de Hildegard junto con pasajes del texto, y unas canciones religiosas que Hildegard también escribía. Yo siempre tuve un imagen del cristianismo medieval como una religión que manejaba todo por instituciones y jerarquías, pero este libro me sorprendió mostrando que también se manifestaba en experiencias personales.

Darren Jenkins creativebod — The only reason this doesn't get 5 stars is because it felt too open ended, as if this was the first act of a longer book. But more on that later. I was worried I wasn’t going to like this book when I started it. I think it’s because I came into Unearthly after reading some pretty intense and adult books: The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, The Native Star and A Storm of Swords. It’s sort of difficult to go from George R.R. Martin’s Westeros to a YA novel about love and angels. However, Unearthly was incredibly interesting and had a very unique take on the idea of angels. All angel-bloods (Clara is only a quarter and her mom is half) have a purpose. Shortly after puberty they begin to have visions of what they were put on earth to do. Clara learns that her purpose is to save a boy from a forest fire in Wyoming, so her California family packs up and moves. There are typical high school moments in the book, but for me the most interesting thing is the mythology created about angels and angel-bloods. I want to learn more about this world, about these beings. Some angel-bloods’ purposes are to watch, others are messengers, and there are those who are supposed to interfere in human events in some way. There is conflict between angels. There are angel levels and hierarchies. It's all touched upon here, but not completely fleshed out yet. In this book, the antagonist isn’t really the Black Wings (fallen angels who have gone against their purpose and what God intends for them), although Clara does have a confrontation with one. The main antagonist is actually Clara herself. As the book progresses and she meets Christian, Clara seems certain she is supposed to fall in love with him. When she instead falls in love with someone else (love triangle! dun, dun, DUN! But seriously, it's not that annoying), Clara finds herself torn between fulfilling her purpose or being with the boy she truly loves. To me this book doesn’t really end. This felt like only the first act. I think it’s because there are so many open storylines now that Clara has made her decision and things don't go down how anyone had expected them to. There's so much to cover in the next book still: (view spoiler)
