Favorite Story No. 1 - Part 1

(Warning!!! This might contain a spoiler)

Book: Until Trilogy (Until He was Gone, Until He Returned, Until Forever)
Author: jonaxx

I can say that Until Trilogy is my utmost favorite of all my favorite Wattpad stories. And of course, Miss J is my most favorite Wattpad author.

Miss Jonaxx is actually the reason why I made my wattpad account and she's the reason why I had stayed here for years.

I first encountered her stories, I think, in 2014 or 2015. I remembered reading her stories one after another. I didn't stop, not until I finished all her completed stories. Until Trilogy is one of her stories that I lastly read. I was so hesitant to read it then because it consisted of three books and the third book was not yet even finished by that time. I thought that it's too long of a story. Little did I know then that it would be my favorite.

But then, since it's one of the few that was left, I started reading it.

I don't remember anymore how I first reacted to the taboo relationship in the story.  But I clearly remember how this story had made me feel what  fierce love is.

I love Klare and Elijah's love for each other. I love how burning and passionate it is - of how it can burn them both to point of destruction and how it can ruin the people they love so much. It can ruin them all, especially their family, but I also love that Klare's love is a voice of reason that she did not allow that to happen. No matter how much she loves Elijah, she sets him free because that's the right thing to do.

Their love transcends the pages of their books. I felt it so much that I was hurt when they were hurt. I was in pain when they're in pain. I cried when they cried. I laughed when they laughed. I was happy when they were happy. I can feel their love for each other deep in my bones. It soothed me. It calmed me. It made me hope for a love that is kind and true. It's like a wave — its splashes can be tumultuous but it can also be soft and patient.

It is forgiving. Klare's love is forgiving. No matter what shit the people around her had done or will ever do to her, no doubt that she will forgive. This is not the case for Elijah to people around him but I am sure that his love will always be forgiving for Klare.

Their love could never be innocent but it is pure. I admired Miss Jonaxx for not putting any matured scenes between this couple. I'll be honest, I was craving for that. I even got disappointed. But then I realized that it just goes to show that their love is true and pure. It's not what Erin had claimed it to be – that what they're feeling was just lust. I know that there's a lot of  sexual tension between our two main characters. I can feel it especially in the later part of Book 2 and later part of Book 3.
But Elijah respects Klare so much. He doesn't want to do anything that will make Klare uncomfortable. That speaks a lot about his love. Elijah is a hot-blooded person. His active sexual activities were implied in the books. And yet, he's always stopping himself from doing anything beyond kissing and for that he earned my respect. He loves Klare purely – beyond the physical attraction.

I love that their love is like a home. Every time they hug or they kiss, it has a feeling of being at home. There is happiness and contentment. There is calmness and belongingness.

Some people had their great loves and true loves into different people. But Klare and Elijah is luckily each other's great love and true love. Their love is strong and earth-shattering but it is also their peace.

I love Klare and Elijah so much.

I love how strong of a character Klare is. A lot of people would say that she is a weak character. But not for me. She is a strong and kind woman. She has been through a lot. She lost a lot of people that she dearly loved. She thought that people had left her, alone  – that she has no one by her side anymore, no one to care for her or to fight with her. But instead of giving up and crying, she understood them. If it had happened to me, I would be so broken. It will be hard for me to understand. I will always always question why people can't stay and why they can't understand. But Klare had stood so strong despite this. She stood so strong despite the pain and the brokenness. She stood so strong despite being misunderstood, unaccepted, unloved by the people who should have done those things.

She went through those challenges and in the end, she overcame it all. That's why she's my baby. She's so soft  that despite her flaws, I love her. She's not perfect, she has a tendency to be a  pushover but she knows how to stand up for herself when it's too much. She sometimes fall into self-pity. It's one of the things I don't like about her. But her love is always kind and pure – must be the reason why the people around her love her so much.

And Elijah,

there was once a time that I loved him so so much. He was like a real person that I was so deeply in love. It's been years, and he's still my number one jboy. I know when his birthday is. I still remember how he feels (yes !!! It's true) or how he makes me feel. It's like how he loved Klare in the books is also how he would have loved me (haha).  He loves so so much. He can love until he bleeds or until there is no blood that's left of him. He will fight for you like a warrior – proud and brave. He will continuously fight despite a dagger searing through his heart. He will fight for love no matter how painful or how shattered he is. He will protect and shelter you, despite him being wounded. His love is that great. And for that, I admired him.

In a world that is full of shallow love, I can't help but celebrate his deep deep love.

Time will change. Writers will come and go. But classic stories will stay. There might come a time that I will be swept away by life – that I might be too busy to read this story again or that I might totally forget about this. But new readers will come and read UT. I hope that they will learn the right lessons of the story. As for me, well I think, that this story will always stay close to my heart. This will always bring a feeling of poignancy to me even after fifty.

*****

There will be a part 2 of my thoughts for Until Trilogy.  I only tackled about their love here. On the next part I want to be critical and dive into their taboo relationship. This story should be read with maturity and critically. Not because I admired their kind of love means that it is right. I will explain it on the second part.

Thank you for reading my thoughts on Until Trilogy. Feel free to share yours.
