Untamed (House of Night, #4)2008

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Untamed fits right in with the mid-2000s YA trend of identity-driven plots and progressive moralizing. It’s not the most egregiously woke book, but readers looking for a traditional or non-woke story will find plenty of forced representation and cultural revision here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

House of Night leans into identity-driven storytelling, Zoey and friends are a diverse, empowered crew, with romance and drama sometimes overriding plot logic. While not the worst offender, representation occasionally feels forced, with characters defined more by their identities than their arcs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Religion and traditional family structures are often portrayed as ignorant or restrictive, while the vampire world’s pagan-inspired morals are elevated. Traditional masculinity is downplayed in favor of female-centric leadership and empowerment, showing a clear subversion of classic gender roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives, especially those associated with religion or tradition, are generally depicted negatively or not explored in depth. The cast tends to espouse progressive values with few dissenting voices, making for a pretty uniform worldview.
