On the heels of Untamed being voted #8 on the YALSA Teen Top Ten list, the latest in the series which has been on the NYT Childrens Series list for 59 weeks. With that track record, the books are impervious to reviews, but nonetheless, the current issue of Entertainment Weekly tackles it and gives it a B, noting that the “philosophizing goes on a bit too long.”
The next book in the series, according to PC Casts’ blog, will be Burned. No release date is given.
