To Our Untamed Core

To Our Untamed Core

Sonido Reyes

The Hunger Games meets The Sunbearer Trials in bestselling and award-winning author Sonora Reyes’s YA dystopia about a boy who survives by hiding his truth until his boyfriend is sentenced to El Torneo — a brutal, fight-to-the-death game — where he must risk everything to save him. Centuries after the conquistadors claimed the Afueras for their own, Temo spends his life obeying the Holy Order’s decree, undergoing their sacraments to tame his supposedly violent nature. The only rule he hiding that he’s trans. If that fact is discovered, Temo will face El Torneo, a brutal, fight-to-the-death game pitting the untamed against one another. No Afuereño who enters El Torneo ever escapes with their life. But when Temo’s boyfriend is unexpectedly arrested and thrown into the deadly tournament, he’ll do anything to rescue Ollin from his gruesome fate, even if it means entering El Torneo himself. Only there's far more to this tournament than meets the eye—survival is just the beginning. When the cost of saving the one he loves the most might be higher than he ever imagined, is Temo willing to pay it?

    I can't believe it's over 😭 Watching my babies grow up was harder that I thought,but I must say I'm really satisfied with the ending. Except of the side couple who didn't work out , but that is life unfortunately 😔 Making me ugly cry at midnight is not fair Alice!!

    🥷

    This novel is delightfully written and the audiobook is damn near perfect.

    The FMC and MMC genuinely don’t like each other, mostly because one’s a healer and the other is an assassin.

    They are forced to work together to solve a problem and in that process, they slowly begin to like each other. Very slowly. In the process they discover that not everything is right in the world.

    The banter or comedic connection between the characters is top notch. The author does such an amazing job of making me laugh out loud at some of the exchanges and the insults are first rate as only the English can do.

    I’m fascinated by the land that they live in—England if the Norman Invasion of 1066 hadn’t succeeded.

    The magic system is unusual and I rather like it. I like that you can see the cost to the person wielding it.

    Seeing show Dean & Allie made me re-read.

    Ugh the chemistry was craaazy. Haven’t felt this way since S2 of Bridgerton or Damon and Elena or even Klaus and Caroline.

    “Far away. Part of her was shouting, Stop talking, Ruby! But just as she had in the dining room, and in the middle of the ballroom, and a thousand other times in her too-blunt, too-enthusiastic life, she couldn’t call the words to a halt.”

    Relatable.
