Unravel Me

10/24/2015




Title: 
Unravel Me 
(Shatter Me #2)

Author: 
Tahereh Mafi

★★☆☆☆
2 out of 5 stars


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.


This book, this book had me like…










It was just so slow, and I must admit that even though I liked the writing style and the strikes in the first book, in this one they are distracting and from an editorial point of view, they make the act of reading less fluid. The main character, Juliette, oh my, she is my most hatred main character of the year, I hated how Juliette clings to Adam, focusing all her attention in the first person that was ever kind to her, and just because of that she “needs” to love him (ugh!), and when things aren’t smooth, she breaks, and I understand she is only human, but there’s a whole new world of possibilities surrounding her and what does she do? She crumbles. 

The first half of the book is Juliette crying into every corner and Adam being quick-tempered, and it is exhausting and boring. The second half of the book is a little better since Juliette’s crybaby-low-self-esteem-codependency tendencies volume down (thank god for Kenji speaking off his mind, he changed the course of her annoying-ness by being honest), she is still a weak character but less annoying. 

We still don’t get to know what happened to the world, but at least there’s a clear goal, things are going somewhere and if a war actually happens, the next book might save the series.
