Forced marriages. Evil spirits. Devastating lies.

After the terrible battle against the Enhanced Ones, Seven and Corin find themselves on the run. With the Enhanced closing in, Seven knows they need to find other people on their side. So, when the opportunity arises to join the Zharat, one of the last surviving Untamed tribes, it seems like the perfect solution.

But the Zharat lifestyle is a far cry from what Seven's used to. With their customs dictating that she must marry into their tribe, and her relationship with Corin breaking down, Seven knows she has to do something before it's too late. But that's easier said than done in a tribe where going against the rules automatically results in death.

And, with the Enhanced still out there, nowhere is truly safe for the Untamed-least of all for the most powerful Seer in the world... and Seven soon discovers how far people will go to ensure she's on their side in the War of Humanity.

Battling against the emerging web of lies, manipulation, and danger, Seven must remember who she was meant to be. Her life has never been more at stake. Nor has humanity itself.

DISCOVER THE WHOLE UNTAMED WORLD

The Untamed series consists of two sub-series: the core Untamed books (Untamed 1-4) follow Seven and Corin as the Untamed strive to end the War of Humanity and eradicate the world of the Enhanced Ones. The Dangerous Ones books (Untamed 5-9) take place at the same time as books 1-4 and tell the stories of other Untamed--some of which we have already met--revealing a different side to the War of Humanity.

PRAISE FOR THE UNTAMED SERIES


"A fantastic dystopian tale. Highly recommended for fans of strong heroines and intriguing sci-fi worlds." Pintip Dunn, New York Times bestselling author of the Forget Tomorrow series

"I never saw the end coming, I was super shocked by the turn of events. Seriously, shocked here- I felt like my jaw was hanging open in surprise for most of the last chapter. This was my first book by Madeline and color me impressed. She was able to create a complete world, detailed original characters and a twisty plot to keep me guessing." -- SMADA's Book Smack

"If you're looking for a post-apocalyptic action-packed interesting world, this book will be right up your alley." -- K. Bird Lincoln, Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars

"Whether you're new to Madeline Dyer's work or not, this is a fantastic book to check out" -- Lora, Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars

"New to me author, Madeline Dyer pleasantly surprised me with this fast-paced and action-packed dystopian story. I absolutely loved Inga, she was a fierce heroine. [...] This story was definitely darker than I expected and I found myself glued to the pages. Emotional, heart-gripping and suspenseful, This Vicious Way is a must-read.I recommend it!" - Ana-Maria O., NetGalley Reviewer, 4 stars

"A Dangerous Game is an unputdownable story, a wild ride from start to finish. This is a stand-out novel." -- The Literature Hub

"Madeline Dyer writes with swift, focused confidence that immerses you in Sev's world. The tension between the Enhanced and the Untamed is fascinating, and I kept thinking about them long after I finished reading." Sarah Mensinga, author of Currently

"Dyer packs a punch with Divided! As we've come to expect from her, the pages are packed with vivid imagery, high tension, and an earnest and willful heroine. Another great read in an intriguing saga." Tracy Clark, author of The Light Key Trilogy & Mirage

"I don't read a lot of dystopian, but I loved this book. Forbidden love, love triangle, great characters, this has it all. Dyer's prose is tight and smart. Her characters are relatable and engaging. This book was the perfect escape in a world that is a little more dystopian than it should be." Megan E., NetGalley Reviewer, 5 stars


"A YA Mad Max--thrilling and deep, with richly drawn characters and spot-on pacing. With the sequel every bit as good as the predecessor, Dyer's Untamed series is a must-read for dystopian fans." T.A. Maclagan, author of They Call Me Alexandra Gastone

"Fascinating and intriguing." A Drop of Ink Reviews

"Dyer is as much a poet as a dystopian scribe. Her images, at times surreal, at times brutal, propel you through the worlds of Untamed and Fragmented at high speed." Marissa Kennerson, author of The Family

"Strong writing and well-rounded characters. If you loved Untamed, you'll want to pick up Fragmented right away to discover more about the world and the people Dyer has created." Heidi Sinnett, author and librarian

"Highly recommended." Dr. Jessie Voigts, WanderingEducators.com

"Dyer writes with an urgency and a rhythm that compels you to turn the page." Sue Wyshynski, author of The Butterfly Code series

"Madeline Dyer's This Vicious Way is an unyielding exploration into the motivations of a young assassin. Inga's determination to end the cycle of abuse that shaped her life makes for a gritty, heartbreaking, and captivating story." -- Sarah Mensinga, author of Currently
"This Vicious Way is brutal in all the best ways. It will suck you in and tear you apart, put you back together and then do it all over again. What a ride! If you want a fantastic dystopian world, with unique and flawed (but totally kickass) characters-- this is totally the book for you." -- Stacey Trombley, author of Trial of Thorns

"Untamed is a fantastic dystopian survival story, filled with twists." The Literature Hub

"As a person who rarely reads fantasy/sci-fi but grew up with it always on the nightstand, Dyer's book reawakened in me a buried love for the genre." Jen Knox, author of After the Gazebo

"Readers who enjoy dystopian novels would enjoy this book." The Story Sanctuary

"While Dyer provides all the elements you're looking for in an action-packed dystopian adventure, I also found her message about women and their rights to be very timely. Fragmented and Dyer both have layers that are worth exploring." Kimberly Sabatini, author of Touching the Surface

"I read this book in a little over a day. I literally could not stop reading it. It was a lot darker than the previous book in the series. But it had an incredible storyline and character interaction." - Ammorette W., NetGalley Reviewer, 5 stars

"This is a fast-paced, action-packed book, but at the same time manages to be deeply emotional, and at times completely heart-breaking." - Maria S., NetGalley Reviewer, 5 stars

5.0 out of 5 stars A Worthy Sequel For UNTAMED!
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2017
Verified Purchase
Considering that it’s been almost a year and a half since I read the first book, UNTAMED, I had to wonder how much I would have to recall on my own, and how much would be delivered by the author via expositions recaps before the next adventure began.
I should have known Dyer doesn’t bother with all that amateur stuff. FRAGMENTED picks up exactly where UNTAMED left off, and not a moment later! Pertinent information is referenced when necessary, but it wasn’t as if I needed to know everything that happened before. It continues at a breathtaking pace, weaving back and forth between the Dream Land and the real world, a truly "fragmented" reality riddled by betrayal, lies, and half-truths.

Most notable is the introduction of the Zharat, a group of people who have done what they could to survive in these trying times. I found the society utterly fascinating! So distinct and vastly different from the ones Seven grew up with, the Zharat present an entirely distinct method of coping with the strangeness of the world, and you really get a “distant history” vibe from it that just deepens the immersion into the reality Dyer has fabricated.
There were a few things that ended up not at all the way I expected, and a few moments that felt a little forced/rushed (which I can’t get into because SPOILERS) but none of them really constituted a deal-breaker and I still remain securely enthralled by the series!

I don't often give reviews on books but I was seriously disappointed with Fragmented especially since I really liked Untamed. Seven as a heroine regressed so bad that I started to dislike her. She fought so hard in the first book, but it felt like she just gave up and accepted everything easily with this one. While I feel a little soured right now after just freshly finishing this, I will try to read The Divided, hoping that Seven comes back fighting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buckle Up for This One
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2017

Whereas Untamed, Madeline Dyer's debut novel, was a character-driven YA dystopia, the follow-up Fragmented feels more like a drug-induced mind trip -- which is simultaneously frustrating and enthralling for the reader.

This book takes place in the immediate aftermath of Untamed, but before long, we're left with protagonist Seven and Corin -- on the run, on their own. They wind up with a band of people named the Zharat, but what starts as a simple case of finding refuge with potential like-minded allies turns into something else entirely... and for roughly 250 pages, you'll find yourself thinking you know what's going on, only to discover you're nowhere near right.

Along the way, Seven is convinced she's going mad, and I sometimes felt the same way as I navigated through all the twists. Going back and forth in trying to determine which characters can be trusted and which ones can't, pushing through the occasional tough-to-read passage (there are a couple of them, fair warning), flipping pages through the ending in which the futility of everything becomes crystal clear... even as the answers became clear, more questions popped up.

Fragmented is an adrenaline-packed read, and Dyer once again establishes her ability to create vibrant, memorable characters. That ability is what makes this a great read, even if you find yourself flipping through pages on numerous occasions asking yourself "WTF?" -- and you will be doing just that.

The lack of clarity is occasionally frustrating, and there is a cliffhanger (but it's abundantly clear going forward that there are two more books to come in this series). Fragmented will keep you turning the pages, will keep you guessing.

And when it's over, you'll be asking yourself when the next one's coming.

I have been waiting and waiting for this! Wait was worth it! I absolutely love this series. Seven has had such a hard life. The Interesting and mysterious Zharat people's culture were so detailed and researched. Not only was it scientifically accurate and detailed, but the story REALLY pulls you in. So many questions, so much magic, love, pain, and emotions. Get pulled into a never ending fight of good and evil, right and wrong, love and hate. Get emotionally fragmented (in a good way!) by this amazing series.

2.0 out of 5 stars Second Installment of the Untamed Series
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2020
I received an Advanced Reader Copy from Netgalley and the publisher for an honest review.

Fragmented is the second installment in Madeline Dyer’s Untamed series. We continue to follow the seer Seven Starrs as she and her friends try to stay alive against the Enhanced. This story was a bit more difficult to read, a lot of violence and trigger situations.

Seven and Corbin, with a severely hurt Ester finally locate the fabled Zharat but these people are not what they seem. The Zharat live in a male dominated society, filled with violence and suspicion. Here Seven can not be her true self. Does she stay with a society that makes her feel unsafe and fear for her life or does she take her chances on the outside against the Enhanced? Raleigh is never far from her mind and will never give up his claim on Seven.

This a great sequel to Untamed. The plot twists were mindblowing at times and upsetting, to me, at times. Fortunately, I trust the author to bring me through this and deliver as she always does.
Fragmented is the second in a dystopian story that describes a world divided in two. Both books will keep you on the edge of your seat rooting for the main characters and wishing the villains evil. You won't be able to put it down...I promise. Seven is a compelling character and Dyer's style of writing makes you feel like you're in the center of the action with her.
I highly recommend​ picking up a copy for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real page turner.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 17, 2017

Fragmented is the second book in Madeline Dyer’s Untamed series. It picks up where the first left off, and charts the progress of Seven and Corin, amongst others.

I have to say, while I ‘liked’ Untamed, the first book in the series, I absolutely loved Fragmented. Not only do the stakes introduced in the first book continue, but Seven (and Corin) have a whole new set of problems to deal with, and it’s hard to see how they can beat any of them. Madeline Dyer, in my opinion, has a definite skill in keeping a reader on their toes. Just when I thought the book was heading in one direction, it went in another, though not without warning. The foreshadowing is very skillfully done.

I think one of the strengths of this book, is that it is ‘next’ in a series. The characters, setting, and the main conflict has already been established, which allows Dyer to build and develop on already introduced themes and relationships (which throwing more into the mix).

There are several new characters in Fragmented, a couple of whom I really didn’t like (which, I believe, was the intention), but necessary for the overall story arc. I enjoyed learning more about Seven and watching her relationship with Corin develop, though the odds were very much against them.

I would highly – highly – recommend this book (although I would advise reading Untamed so you can appreciate the depth of this world), and cannot wait to read book three.

After enjoying the first book this one was a bit of a leg down. I found the plot confusing. The whole spirit world thing was a bit much and the explanation in the last couple of pages wasn't enough. The war between the untamed and others was enough and easier to understand without the God stuff.

I was so glad that I could pick up the next book in this series and give it a read. The story picks up from the end of the terrible battle. Seven and Corin, as well as Esther are desperate to find a safe place to be. With a rush of bravery, Seven jumps in feet first and finds what she believes to be that safe space. But is it really safe? The story was engaging, well-written and kept me turning the pages late into the night. I loved it, and am so glad that I already have book three on my Kindle so I can continue this amazing story! Highly recommend for those who love a dystopian with a mythological twist!
