The main character, Seven, is a strong girl, although with many flaws that allow the reader to identify with her on some level. I'm guessing there will be more information to fill in a lot of the gaps as the series goes on, but we learn enough to figure out what's happening, and that's all that matters. I liked this, in fact, rather than a chapter with a lot of info-dumping, this draws out the story, so that the reader can figure it out over the course of the book. We have to read in order to find out more about the world, people, and their problems. In the spirit of many dystopian reads, we don't know a lot about why things are in such a state of chaos, and in fact, Dyer doesn't give us a lot in the way of world-building even from the beginning. YA dystopian is a favourite of mine, so I was excited to see what Madeline Dyer would put into this to make it stand out from the flooded dystopian market. I read UNTAMED in order to review it, and was very much looking forward to it from the start. Seven must choose wisely whose side she joins, for the War of Humanity is underway, and Death never takes kindly to traitors.

One that has two very different outcomes. But things aren’t clear-cut anymore, and with Seven now questioning the very beliefs she was raised on, she knows she has an important choice to make. Yet, as one of the most powerful Seers that the Untamed and Enhanced have ever known, Seven quickly discovers that she alone holds the key to the survival of only one race.

Realizing it’s only a matter of time before she too develops a taste for the chemical augmenters responsible for the erosion of humanity, Seven knows she must act quickly if she’s to escape and save her family from the same fate. Even if you have become the perfect human being.īut after a disastrous raid on an Enhanced city, Seven soon finds herself in her enemy’s power.

And, most importantly, never switch sides-because once you’re Enhanced there’s no going back. As one of the last Untamed humans left in the world, Seven’s life has always been controlled by tight rules.
