Plot of Untouchable
Halima Zira Lane, fated to Neron, the future Alpha of the Zircon Moon Pack, is falsely held responsible for the death of Neron's mother and sister, enduring eight years of torture and degradation as an outcast while praying for salvation.
Once Neron becomes Alpha, he rejects her and condemns her to death. With the invaluable aid of Mrs. Dubois, she escapes from the clutches of the pack's guards, though still ends up meeting death anyway at the bottom of a cliff. After a brief exchange with the Moon Goddess herself, she's brought back to earth and finds refuge with the Garnet Moon Pack under a new name: Kiya.
However, as her new pack considers aligning with her former one, Kiya has to choose whether to let her rage consume her or leave her sorrowful past behind.
Main Characters in Untouchable
Halima Zira Lane
Halima is portrayed as the archetypal misunderstood Luna in the story. She is the daughter of the Beta of the Zircon Moon Pack and is initially depicted as a kind and affectionate young woman. However, she is thrust into slavery at a young age after being falsely accused of causing the deaths of her best friend and sister-in-law, Nuria, as well as her mother-in-law, Luna Celeste, during a rogue ambush. This tragic event leads to her ostracization even by her own family, causing her to become somewhat embittered as the story progresses, although she still retains some of her noble qualities.
Neron Malachi Prince
A quick glimpse into Neron's character might deter some readers, given his less-than-pleasant attitude, especially towards Halima, who is believed to be responsible for the deaths of his loved ones. However, given the circumstances we just described, his behavior is not entirely unwarranted. Throughout the story, Neron demonstrates his natural leadership abilities, as he is seen as the rightful heir to his father, Alpha Jonathan. He also exhibits aggression and harbors a profound hatred towards Halima, whom he relentlessly pursues.
Hot Chapters in Untouchable
Chapter 7
In this chapter, upon uncovering his mate bond with Halima, Neron feels overwhelmingly repulsed to the point of internally berating the Moon Goddess for so much as suggesting her as his fated mate instead of Odessa. He also shares a tense moment with his wolf, Onyx, who's overtaken by intense pain when Neron forcefully breaks the bond.
Next, we witness Halima's frantic escape attempt, which, against all odds, is mostly successful. Just when she believes there is no way out, Amani Dubois, the former Gamma, suddenly approaches and takes her into his arms, leading her out of the pack's territory. This unexpected act leaves Halima deeply confounded.
Chapter 241
This chapter details Kiya (formerly Halima) and Neron's trip with their friends Phoebe and Violette, which was meant to be a long-awaited reunion. After some heartfelt farewells, they all gather at the Garnet Moon Pack. There, Phoebe summons a portal to the San Jose International Airport's aviation hangar, where a luxurious private plane called "Fortuna Skies," owned by Violette, awaits them.
Kiya and Neron are intrigued by Violette's ability to afford such luxuries, and she explains that she had a successful singing career that allowed her to accumulate more than enough wealth. Then, after getting to meet some new acquaintances, they buckle their seats and prepare for their next destination: Las Cruces, New Mexico!
Theme of Untouchable
While the title makes reference to the feeling Halima had as a kid with not a worry in the world (that is, until the incident that caused her best friend's death and set the events of the novel in motion), "Untouchable" expounds more on the dehumanizing nature of slavery and the catastrophic effects of consistent physical and verbal abuse, especially from family members who are supposed to provide for one's well-being.
Correspondingly, the novel also explores themes of purpose and free will. For instance, Halima experiences a profound sense of emptiness after severing familial and societal ties with those who once surrounded her, now viewing her as merely an asset. This void compels her to reflect on the meaning of her life and the freedom to shape her own destiny instead of having it dictated by others. Paradoxically, as the story progresses, it is revealed that her fate was predetermined by the Moon Goddess, though this destiny largely aligns with Halima's own desires.
Author Introduction
Marii Solaria was born in Chicago, Illinois, to Malian parents and began her writing career at the age of twelve. She started by creating fanfiction based on her favorite shows and movies, then moved on to writing her own poems and short stories with her brothers, eventually earning awards for her work. In addition to being a fiction writer, she holds a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Psychology and volunteers in hospitals.
Writing Style
Marii strikes a healthy balance between poetic and conventional, using flowery language that enriches the reading experience in key moments (without making it sound highfalutin), while sticking with more down-to-earth lingo for the remainder, thus emphasizing that the narrative takes place in modern times (adding pop culture references to boot.).
Point of View
In "Untouchable", Marii Solaria frequently shifts perspectives. Although most of the novel is narrated from Halima's (later Kiya's) point of view, we often see other characters providing their takes, sometimes within the same chapter. Occasionally, an anonymous third-person narrator takes over, especially during more elaborate combat scenes.
Conclusion
"Untouchable" by Marii Solaria, is an exhilarating Lycan novel that starts strong and ends even stronger. The memorable side characters we meet along the way (such as Violetta and Phoebe) bring a refreshing element to an otherwise grim and somber revenge story with existentialist overtones, while the arcs of our main characters turn out quite fulfilling (particularly that of Neron, who couldn't have had a more unfavorable introduction), leaving no loose ends in their development. All of this is superbly knitted with a tasty narrative style that should satisfy the most demanding literature junkies.
