Untamed (Splintered Series Companion): A Splintered Companion
Untamed (Splintered Series Companion): A Splintered Companion | A G Howard
Alyssa Gardner went down the rabbit hole and took control of her destiny. She survived the battle for Wonderland and the battle for her heart. In this collection of three novellas, join Alyssa and her family as they look back at their memories of Wonderland. In "Six Impossible Things," Alyssa recalls the most precious moments of her life after "Ensnared," and the role magic plays in preserving the happiness of those she loves. Alyssa s mother reminisces about her own time in Wonderland and giving up the crown to rescue the man who would become her husband in "The Boy in the Web." And Morpheus delves into Jeb s memories of the events of Splintered in "The Moth in the Mirror," available in print for the first time. Read all the books in the" New York Times "bestselling Splintered series: "Splintered ("Book 1"), Unhinged "(Book 2"), Ensnared ("Book 3"), "and" Untamed ("The Companion Novel")." Praise for "Splintered: "STARRED REVIEW "Fans of dark fantasy, as well as of Carroll s Alice in all her revisionings (especially Tim Burton s), will find a lot to love in this compelling and imaginative novel." "Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books" """Alyssa is one of the most unique protagonists I've come across in a while. Splintered is dark, twisted, entirely riveting, and a truly romantic tale." "USA Today" "Brilliant, because it is ambitious, inventive, and often surprising a contemporary reworking of Lewis Carroll s Alice s Adventures in Wonderland, with a deep bow toward Tim Burton s 2010 film version." "The Boston Globe" "It s a deft, complex metamorphosis of this children s fantasy made more enticing by competing romantic interests, a psychedelic setting, and more mad violence than its original." "Booklist" " Protagonist Alyssa...is an original. Howard's visual imagination is superior. The story's creepiness is intriguing as horror, and its hypnotic tone and setting, at the intersection of madness and creativity, should sweep readers down the rabbit hole." "Publishers Weekly" "While readers will delight in such recognizable scenes as Alyssa drinking from a bottle to shrink, the richly detailed scenes that stray from the original will entice the imagination. These adventures are indeed wonderful." "BookPage" "Attention to costume and setting render this a visually rich read..." "Kirkus Reviews" "Wonderland is filled with much that is not as wonderful as might be expected, and yet, it is in Wonderland that Alyssa accepts her true nature. The cover with its swirling tendrils and insects surrounding Alyssa will surely attract teen readers who will not disappointed with this magical, edgy tale." "Reading Today Online" "Creepy, descriptive read with a generous dollop of romance." "School Library Journal""

Book 3.5 really in the Splintered Series. Collection of three short stories that give us a little more insight into the characters we came to love. Nice little send off. I‘ve really enjoyed this Alice in Wonderland retelling. This has been a solid series.

Each short story is a snippet that helps build upon the characters readers have come to know and gives them a proper send-off. Untamed is the perfect wrap-up for the Splintered series. And while it isn‘t filled with macabre horror or magical mayhem, the overall atmosphere A. G. Howard has created carries on till the end. #fantasy #youngadult

Gharv @GypsyKat thank you! I always struggle over my next book or series choice. So many books and so little time! 📚⏰ 6y
GypsyKat @Gharv No problem! I have multiple TBR shelves and several TBR audiobooks on my phone, and Lots of Kindle TBR‘s. So I personally just make the bingo card with books I already own. It‘s fun, and I think it helps. 😊 6y
QueenJen Ok, this is fantastic! I love the bingo card idea! 6y
tracey38 Love the use of a bingo card! 6y
GypsyKat @QueenJen @tracey38 It‘s fun! And since I read mostly by mood I‘m pretty loose with it, but it helps remind me of what I want to read soon. 😊 6y

This was a collection of short stories about the characters in and around Wonderland. It was a fun addition to the Splittered series which is a dark and twisted retelling of Alice in Wonderland. I didn‘t like it as much as the trilogy, but it was part of that same universe so I enjoyed it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

🌟🌟🌟🌟
4 stars! Untamed is a novella for the Splintered series. It's a retelling of Alice in Wonderland! Untamed is split into 3 short stories. I really enjoyed reading this and I'm happy I can say I'm still Team Morpheus! If you live Alice in Wonderland (as me) and want to read some retelling, this is my tip for you!
