Sarah Rees Brennan

As Kami Glass and her friends continue to battle the sorcerers of the Lynburn family in the sleepy English town of Sorry-in-the-Vale, friendships and families are torn apart.

It took Jared and Kami 250 pages to Haven an honest conversation with one another, all while I was drowning in angst.

Untold was not quite as good as the first book in the series, Unspoken. While it did rectify the unfortunate cliffhanger of the first book, it didn't really shine on its own. Lacking the fun snappiness of its predecessor, it mostly felt like a typical angsty teen novel. There wasn't much to make this volume stand out. It felt like a segue between the first book and the conclusion of the trilogy rather than something strong enough to stand on its own. Once again, this book ended with a cliffhanger although not as vexing as the last one. I will likely finish the series, but I was a little disappointed in Untold.

4.5 estrellas. 
Aunque en este libro se nos entregó un pequeño mapa de Sorry-In-The-Vale aún tengo problemas imaginándome a ciudad, quizás por que nos movemos muy rápido de un lado a otro. 
Me gustó mucho ver más de el papá de Kami y las conversaciones que Kami tuvo con Angela, aún así creo que extrañé a Holly y Ash (tuvimos POV de Ash pero aún así no creo que fue suficiente) 

Este libro no tuvo mucha acción pero si nos guió a lo que tiene que pasar en su conclusión. 
Seguiré apenas pueda con Unmade :)

i don't know what is it with second books of the trilogies - it's like the author knows how he wants to start the story and how he wants to end it but has no ideas what he wants to happen in between. i'd say - in this case make it a duology! but we all know that 3 books earn more money than 2

so, this is one of those typical second books where - unfortunately - nothing happens. the relationship of the protagonists is the only developing storyline and while it's swoonworthy, it's not enough to enjoy the overall reading experience

actually this is the reason why i prefer fantasy YA over fiction - the latter is mostly about relationships and all the epic dramas happen because someone misunderstood something. i'd chose magic, dragons, time travelling and parallel worlds over these dramas any day

i'll finish reading the trilogy anyway - the characters are cute and i root for them. but my disappointment over rapid worsening in comparison with the first book is still there.

Very good! The plot sometime got a little bit confusing and it was hard to follow. But it much better then the first one. And the ending twist was rather different. This book has such cool characters and and such quick witty comments. I can't wait for the next book!

This was tremendously fun. Kami just makes my love for her grow with every page, what with her determination, take-no-crap-from-anyone attitude and no tolerance policy for sexist behaviour. The action just kept me on my toes the whole time, and even the magic aspect was quite to my liking. And for the first time in forever, a book I like actually does a good job of portraying lgbt characters accurately, with their sexuality only being a small part in their personalities, so hallelujah!

Okay Ms Brennan, I've waited until I have the day of work to enjoy this, and I'm fully expecting you to break my heart again. Bring it on.

Suddenly overcome with the need to read this book RIGHT NOW.

I've re-read 
  
 so many times. Why can't it be August already...

I have an intense love/hate relationship with Sarah Rees Brennan. On one hand, she’s created one of my absolute favorite series of all time. On the other… DO YOU KNOW HOW AGONIZING EACH BOOK IN THE AFOREMENTIONED SERIES IS TO READ??? Reading Unspoken and Untold was basically torture, but of the very best kind (is there even a good kind of torture?). I’ve become so sucked into the series’s world and characters that I can’t. stop. reading. But my heart can’t take any more angst! *goes off into the corner and cries*

So. Untold. Welp, all I can say is that I wholeheartedly LOVED it, despite the emotional pain/angst going on. I don’t know how these characters–moreover, Sarah Rees Brennan–do it. They made me fall even more in love with them than I already was after Unspoken. And god, the FEELS. I went from smiling like a lunatic one second to being completely horrified the next, and then I went from being pissed off to laughing my ass off. I just can’t handle all these feels, and yet I want MORE!

Kami is the most fantastic heroine EVER. I love her. Totally adore her. Mostly because she makes me laugh all the time, but also because she’s pretty unique. Yes, she’s the type of girl to go headlong into trouble to save everyone she loves, but the way she talks and acts is just so endearing (and funny). But oh my gosh, in the beginning of the book, I just felt so bad for her. Because Jared completely broke her heart at the end of Unspoken. And that is just… unacceptable. THESE TWO HAVE TO BE TOGETHER. They’re perfect for one another. But, Kami doesn’t exactly become all mopey because of Jared…

“Been chatting much with Jared?”
“We often have special moments where I come into a room and he immediately leaves,” Kami said. “I treasure those times.”

The entire book is basically this hilarious. GOD I love this series.

And Jared. This boy… I have so much love and anger for him. I love him, I really do, but I was just so frustrated with why he had to close Kami off. Jared doesn’t think highly of himself, at all. He thinks he doesn’t deserve love, when in fact, he does. He may not be loving and kind, but he’s loyal and fierce and passionate, and just… *swoon*. I just love this boy so much. And OH MY, the things he says and does later on in the book… *fans self*

The Lynburn Legacy series has THE BEST secondary characters ever. I seriously adore Angela and Rusty. These two siblings are the funniest characters I’ve ever read. And oh my gosh, I can’t even describe the magnitude of how much I love Rusty. He makes me laugh every time, and I totally wish he was real so I could have him all to myself.

One of the funniest parts of the book is with Kami’s father (who I love too!):

“Let me tell you about customs, James,” said Lillian. “I am not accustomed to being summoned to someone else’s home. You’re very fortunate that I came.”
“I am indeed blessed,” Dad told her. “I am also, by the way, called Jon.”
Lillian looked faintly surprised. “Are you?”
“Really?” Dad asked. “Really? I was the only Asian guy who went to our school. I kind of stood out. While you are an identical twin, and I still managed to know your name.”

But life’s not all laughter and sunshine in Sorry-in-the-Vale. Things do take a darker and more dangerous turn for these lovable characters. They have to fight against the evil sorcerers, and people do end up getting hurt. At times, it’s as if there’s no hope at all for the good guys, but they never give up.

I love this series so freaking much. It has the best characters I’ve ever read. Kami and Jared and Rusty and even Kami’s dad have wormed their way into my heart. I don’t think I can ever get enough of them.

5 stars! And I want the next book NOW. *grabby hands*

Recensione su Giulia's World

Sono indecisa sulla votazione, perchè potrebbe benissimo essere un libro da cinque stelle ma gli manca quella cosa che ti fa dire "WOW!" quindi niente credo lo lascerò così ;).
Parlando del libro, come seguito mi è piaciuto! Parte subito con una bella dose di azione e la porta fino alla fine del romanzo. Come nel primo il romance è appena accennato, anche se ne abbiamo leggermente di più ;).
Ash e Jared mi piacciono entrambi, Kami è una protagonista fantastica e Rusty mi ha fatto morire dalle risate *-*. Se magari Angela e Holly si dessero una svegliata non sarebbe male :p
Per come si è concluso ho un pò paura per l'ultimo libro ç_ç ci sono i presupposti per una strage T_T
