Demon Untamed (Shadow Quest #4) :
Title:Demon Untamed (Shadow Quest #4)
Author:Kiersten Fay Publication Date: April 17th 2013
Demon Untamed takes readers on a sensual journey that weaves through the first three books in the Shadow Quest series.
Struggling
to survive in an unforgiving universe, Ethan has sacrificed his life in
pursuit of a single goal: Follow his king's orders and save their
people from the ravenous Kayadon overlords. For so long, he's maintained
his title and dark reputation as a notorious pirate to put into motion
his king's intricate plot. He thought of nothing else... until he met
her - the fiery demon who tempts him like no other.
After
witnessing her father's brutal murder by the hand of pirates, Sonya has
developed a special kind of hatred for their kind. When Ethan, otherwise
known as the Pirate King, boards her ship and invades her space with
his encompassing presence, she finds herself fighting to keep her
distance. Yet she wonders if she even wants to, when he threatens to
seduce her mind, body, soul... and most frightening of all, her heart.
Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.
The
last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked
her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long
as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too
busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl.
Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds
don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.
The
Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they
threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors
are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind.
Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous
body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.
Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.
My Review:
*WARNING: Spoilers Ahead!*
I
was speechless the moment I finished reading ShatterMe. I truly enjoyed everything about this novel. Juliette was so broken; however, she had this beautiful
poetry, running within the first few pages. I know that wasn’t the objective of
the novel, but I feel like it’s worth mentioning because the beginning was
absolutely haunting. I loved
Juliette's growth throughout ShatterMe. I know it's the first installment in the series, but from
start to finish, she grew as a person and came out stronger for it. I never
felt that she faltered; she was constantly pushing herself to move forward, and
always reminding herself of who she was. She never forgot. I loved that
Juliette was aware that Warner was trying to buy her off with nice things; and
she made sure that he knew it wouldn’t work.
Adam was another character that I really
loved. Although I felt betrayed by him, as Juliette did, I felt like he did his
best of trying to take care of her. He got her away from that terrible place, which
is good because it was killing her. I was so gratified when it turned out that
Adam was on her side. That, in turn, leads me to Warner. Oh Warner, what am I
going to do with you?! I loved his blunt sense of honesty. I know that he was
the villain in this novel; however, I feel like we haven't seen Warner's true
depths just yet. We've seen the crazy, stalker guy and the power hungry man,
but we definitely haven't learned why he is the way he is. I’m dying to know
what Warner's childhood trauma is which should be revealed within the novella, DestroyMe. I believe that he could end up being the most redeemable
character because he has the farthest to go. In the end, I was very glad that
Juliette that chose to stay true to herself, although I do feel like this new
place isn't as great as it’s making out be. Past dystopian fiction has taught
me that nothing is ever as it seems, and that no place is Utopia. I can't wait
to move on to read the next installment in the series, Unravel Me!
Must Read! Highly Recommended!
