Thanks for a wonderful review.. I have had this book on my TBR for ages so it's wonderful to know a bit more about this book and your review inspires me to pick it up sooner rather than later.. I didn't know that Liz Nugent has written other books too so I will have to have a look for those ones as well.. thank you for this little author spotlight video and wonderful review... happy reading!! 😃📚

I have a book club discussion about this book, so i have any certain ideas important points to tell me, for my discussion? Thank you

I'm going in reverse. I first watched the live action, then the animated series and now I have the agenda to go to the books🤭

I think the best part about the untamed is how they managed to preserve the love. I know the difference between a good bromance and actual love, the untamed definitely endorsed the latter theme. it seemed mature, and realistic. but well, I guess there's only so much censorship will allow us.

I am from India. Just finished reading this wonderful cosy book. Loved it. The language used is very simple but packed with emotions

It's wonderful I've more than half of it it's really emotional at times makes me question if even I understand my mother

Why is there always a black cat on the cover?!

I bought the book, but I haven’t felt much like reading lately so I listened to it on Spotify. Maybe it was the narrator that didn’t really do it justice, but I didn’t enjoy it as much as the others. I found it really grating by half way through with the amount of times he kept reiterating The Rules. And then, again maybe because it was the reader, I started to feel that the author couldn’t write a good, believable female character. I’ll be reading the final books myself and hopefully I can fall in love with them again.

Thanks for this amazing review.

Thanks for the review! I really enjoyed the book, too.

Man I finished both and if it isn’t evident enough by my pfp it’s my new obsession got the first book yesterday and loved it got the first today and loved I saw it at books a million and got it since I have a dog that looks like a fox and his name is pac I thought it whould be a nice heartwarming story about a boy and his fox man was I not expecting to cry edit:I got the second one two days ago and it was also really sad got scared at the part where he got the shotgun and was debating shooting silver

I watched an anime called gensomaden saiyuki based on son goku, cho hakkai, genjo sanzo and sha gojyo i loved and recommend it

Thank you. I didnt have enough money to buy em all. I watched comics, anime and live action. Only novel is left and wanted to read the censored romance as well as WWX past life. So i am getting 4 and 5 ❤ LWJ is goat to me and wang yibo played him so well. Appreciate the summary so i have more insight coz i started with show and it alo had flashbacks together till episode 33. I really wanted to know where the juicy bits were concentrated on most so i can skip on the comic show anime content i have already watched but lacking in explicit content due to BL censorship.

Thank you. I saw a lot of reviews lamenting part two as well. Nobody really bothered to describe it like you did. Your great description and thoughtful take made a good case for maybe why the author chose to put these two stories in one book after all. My excitement is renewed and the book has gone back to the top of my TBR. Thanks a lot! And belated happy dog birthday. Cheers! 👏🏾🙏🏾🥂

Good review

I had been on a waitlist at my library to read this for months and now that I finished it I found it very unsatisfying and just weird.

i was wondering i am on book three but know most of what happens would it be okay for me to skip book three and go straight to book four?

❤

Can I start with it before I go for the other ones? I didn't know it was a series 😅 Thanks❤

I really liked the movie and I'm a big fan of Hallmark😃

The Untamed is a treasure and masterpiece. They did an excellent job of working around the censors in China. It was more satisfying to me because their relationship seemed real and mature. It just seems real and deep. It is a wonder it ever got made and shown at all let alone being so realistic emotionally. Everyone is so gorgeous and talented. OST is incredibly beautiful. The is the OST, BGM, and a character OST in which All the characters have their own songs. I love the cultural differences. I loved it! It is now my favorite fantasy. Thank You reviewing it.

I finished this book in a day and it felt like one of those dreams I have when I nap on a hot summer day.

I watched untamed and read the novel too..& I think I did good that I watched untamed before reading the novels becoz during reading i have a good imagination of the character with their faces , that gives me a good feeling , infact about the intimate scenes which I didn't see in the drama I get a good imagination of that too😅😅 ... Long story short it was good to watch the drama before reading the novel , ..., it gives a satisfactory feeling you know ...

So agree with you on the headband thing. The Untamed, at least when it comes to Wangxian's relationship, has a bit of an instant gratification problem. I understand that most fans are not bothered by it as they see it as the creators getting around censorship, and that's fine. But the donghua also has the censorship problem and they were able to follow the vibe of the novel better.

i love all the adaptation of the mdzs and thank you for the review. The head band thing was not because wwx did not wanted to part with him but because those strings would attack anyone who was not from the lan clan. wangji was not attacked because he was wearing the headband. wangji had to tie the headband to stop the attacks from the strings. Also because i watched The Untamed first i did not catch up with the golden core thing. I did not connect the dots and the reveal had me gutted at that time.

Love these books. Great review. About the multi-name thing? I see people struggle with it a lot but when I read it I actually thought it was cool that they had different names. It took a little time but after a while you get used to it. I mean we kind of do the same thing in English. If you read Pride and Prejudice she's called Lizzy, Miss Elizabeth and Miss Bennet but we get who is meant because it's just normal for us.

I love this book series so much! its just, i cant even explain it. it has my heart, really. my favorite was the forth book out of the 5, cuz… it was so magical. there was everything. i really loved the first three too. they were the same. magical. unexplainable. unfortunately the fifth book wasnt that good for me, cuz i really loved the fights and mystery, and we didnt get it in the final book, of course for good reasons - they were happy, peaceful and in love. i loved that part too, in a different way. but, beside that, the book was a strong four star read. i will always be a Wei Wuxian fanatic. always. i am so happy that someone made a content of this book series, it just made my night. my friends didnt read it, so i cant speak w anyone about it, just annoy people. but the anime is gorgeous, there are differences, but im not regretting reading the book first. it was helpful that i already knew who was who and im so happy that there is also a series - i might get addicted. and, for my suprise, a few of my friends also watched it and they LOVED IT! big thank u for the content.

i felt the same like what you said about the book.mine was gifted as a birthday present.attracted to read ith because of its cover but fell in love instantly with the book for its content.this book is a healing book to everyone who reads it.

❤

Are these censored??

Love This Review Also :)

I Had No Idea There Were More In The Series I Was A Little Sad After Finishing This One His Writing Style Kind Of Reminds Me Of Paulo Coelho (One Of My Favs BTW)

Great video definitely a tears jerker, I was really hoping for more info about ghost mom and Kazu. I don’t think I can handle two more books to find out

I saw this book yesterday,, thank you❤

Great that you're together today ❤

I'm happy to hear you love the music !! They have tons of songs about these two, and most of them are titled after their names (Wangxian, Wuji, etc.). From the donghua, the drama, and to the audio drama. The lyrics hit hard too, as some take Lan Wangji's perspective making it sound like love letters for Wei Wuxian. TvT Hope you enjoy The Untamed !!

Promo'SM

Awesome review. I just got this book and i cant wait to read it. I also have The Deep and The Troop. Ill get to those shortly.

I really recommend "heaven official's blessing" by the same author It has 8 volumes and it's so worth it

Hannah doesn't have red curly hair in the movie

Good video. In the Japanese version, the author writes "先生でもなく、せんせいでもなく、カタカナでセンセイだ." which literally translates into Not sensei (Kanji writing), not sensei (hiragana writing), but sensei (katakana). This is hard to translate since it requires readers to understand that Japanese has 3 writing systems. She emphasizes writing sensei in the katakana script to emphasize how dear she is to him as opposed to writing in the two more formal ways. In Japan, writing names in katakana usually means someone close, and hardly anyone would write sensei in the katakana script.

These books are so bingeable. I just got the set and lost the past three days to reading them.

Looking forward to the review of book 5. Are you getting the special edition?

great review! I recently finished this and absolutely loved it!

Kazu’s mother vanishes at the end of Tales from the Cafe and an old man takes her place. Who is he? Did I miss that explanation?

Thank-you

It made me tear up a little at the end with bitter sweet tears :') It's extremely atmospheric and I love this book so much! Thanks for the great review~!

If you're open to it I actually recommend watching the donghua (animated series) first, since it shows the epicness of the novel fully, the drama is good and the actors are amazing don't get me wrong, but the show didn't have enough budget for cg and it really shows, especially since there are supposed to be many effects and fights. The donghua is also shorter so you can watch that quicker than the drama (and it is more faithfull in some aspects to the novel). Would really love to see your reaction to either!

I am glad you are enjoying it. I think the book-1 cover is actually his past body. and yes, Wei Ying is really a ray of sunshine, it's hard to hate him. And also I don't know if you know but Xiao Xingchen is actually the martial uncle of Wei Wuxian because his mother and Xiao XC have the same teacher. If you finished the novel, you also read Manhua. It is finished. The movies are " the untamed "live-action and " MDZS "Donghua. The untamed ver is censored I would say. they make WWX and LWJ look like they are best friends which is they are lovers in the novel. MDZS is a good Donghua though, even though it is still censored but you can still see the moments. If you enjoy reading MDZS, I recommend the author's other works. MXTX is really popular in danmei world.
