I was so excited to read Untold. Unspoken left a huge impression on me and It is great in the sense of it-is-so-addicting-i-gotta-have-book-two-now.

Untold follow up right after everyone’s near death experience & Rob’s rebellion. The war is coming and everyone is preparing for the terrible outcome and with Kami & Jared’s broken link, everything is bound to be more perilous.

When I started reading Untold, I hoped for a plausible and a great follow up book. I really did. The plot didn’t pick up till at 30%. It was slow and a little bit agonizing but I was still hoping for the best. The usual Sarah Rees Brennan humor was there but it doesn’t hold the same effect that I felt for Unspoken. Something is a little bit off as it seemed forced and not natural anymore. The sassy dialogue between the characters can be quite hilarious at some point but half of the time it was meh and I found myself cringing.

I expected there would be character development for everyone but I saw none. I couldn’t connect to them at all and looking back at Unspoken that makes me sad. I felt a strong connection with this batch of characters and I was highly anticipating Untold wiould strengthen this bond. Now I find myself sighing in disappointment.

Probably by now you are asking yourself “Why am I even reading this, there is no purpose?�. Oh you just wait child. While I felt the book dragged on so much, there was occasional moments of brilliance that you might find delightful like the sexual tension between Jared & Kami radiating with heat. It’s so tense. However by the half of the book I wasn’t engrossed in their relationship anymore. The ending made me numb not in a good way but in the category of I am so glad I’m done with you. HALLELUJAH!

Overall Untold was a frustrating and yet good read. I can only hope Brennan will do her magic in the next installment. If you love a dark book with constant sexual frustration and dry humor you will enjoy this book.
