it’s almost
time for war.Juliette has escaped to Omega Point. It is a place for people like her—people with gifts—and it is also the headquarters of the rebel resistance.
She’s finally free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch.
Or from Warner, who wants Juliette more than she ever thought possible.
In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart—and Adam’s life.
I held strong with the Warner hate through Chapter 62 and that’s all anyone really needs to know about this book.
Kidding! This series is so so close to being AMAZING and I can’t put my finger on what’s not doing it for me. The writing is excellent (seriously, so good), and this mess has pretty much disappeared…is it the x-men vibe? Juliette’s still constant flip-flopping between scared, weak little girl and crazy brave amazingness? Freaking Warner?! Hopefully I’ll be able to pinpoint it by the end of the series.
I definitely feel differently about some characters, so let’s check in with them:
- Juliette: ugh, whiny. I get it, but like…adapt. Overcome your adversity, girl. Forget about Warner and his gross pinkie ring and let Adam do his thang to get strong enough to be with you. This is a war you’re fighting in and you can kill people with guns or your hands, but either way you’re a killer.
- Adam: ugh, whiny. Again, I get it, but it’s not attractive. You could be way worse and still be better than Warner, so you’ve got that going for you. Just do you and get your girl back.
- Warner: EW FOREVER. Chapter 62 was on the verge of becoming an issue, but it ended in the best way possible. Ditch the pinkie ring, expand your color palette, stop being such a weirdo. Maybe someone will like you eventually, or maybe you could keep living with your mom forever.
- Kenji: Seriously over the top to the point of basically being a caricature of a person, but still better than the other three. 2.5 from Kenji’s POV? I’d be down.
Oh great, a cliffhanger. I gave Unravel me by Tahereh Mafi 4 stars on Goodreads. It’s almost a perfect series, but I can’t say for sure why it’s not.
