Unravel Me Book Review

Hi everyone! Today I'm doing something a little bit different. The following review is not mine (I haven't read the Shatter Me series) but it's written by a friend of mine, Hasini. It's a full, comprehensive review of book 2 in the shatter me series by Tahereh Mafi. Enjoy!!

Unravel Me

By: Tahereh Mafi

Shatter Me #2

★★★★

It should have taken Juliette a single touch to kill Warner. But his mysterious immunity to her deadly power has left her shaken, wondering why her ultimate defense mechanism failed against the person she most needs protection from.

She and Adam were able to escape Warner’s clutches and join up with a group of rebels, many of whom have powers of their own. Juliette will finally be able to actively fight against The Reestablishment and try to fix her broken world. And perhaps these new allies can help her shed light on the secret behind Adam’s—and Warner’s—immunity to her killer skin.

I. LOVE. WARNER!!!!🖤🖤🖤 you don't understand how much though,( I was literally on the verge of tears when Julliette broke his heart)

This book was ✨amazing✨ like seriously, it was a rollercoaster of emotions.

Firstly the character development was 🌟monumental🌟 and I adored all of the characters by the end of the book, well all except for Anderson and Adam of course. Like, in the previous books, Julliette was not that likeable, she was weak and was very dependent but in this one, we see how she becomes more independent, brave and strong. I love it ❤️❤️

Next let's move on to Adam, Adam was well, Adam i.e. annoying, boring, bland. (He doesn't even have much of a personality . idk what julliette even saw in him) Kenji, however, is my second favourite character in this book❤️ (the first will ALWAYS be Warner) I love his character development too! I liked him from the start, he was this goofy, funny and cheerful character of the book but in this book we see his other sides too, which i really liked :D

Now we come to WARNERR!!!! He is literally ✨PERFECT✨ in every possible way!!!!! He is the one with the MOST character development in this book. There is nothing you can not like about him!!(or is that only me?) In the first book he is this unfeeling, cold-hearted monster who like can kill anyone and everyone without remorse (idk why but it's one of the reasons why I like him, among many of which I would not like to bore you with the details with (for now at least)) And in the second book (he is still the unfeeling, cold-hearted character) BUT as the story goes on we get to see why he is the way he is (I'm pretty sure we all know about the TrAgIc PaSt trope so I'll spare y'all the details)

(Despite all the cliches) I LOVE HIMM!!!!! (and I bet you will too😉)

And another thing i liked (or rather found to be rather ✨unique✨) is the way in which Tahereh described the weather/scenery/background. Like it was so 🌟fun🌟 tbh, in other books it gets kinda boring but this author finds a way to make it exciting🤩 Love that!

BUT, despite all the good things, there were some things I disliked which I could not overlook

- I felt like there were some holes in the world-building, like in the first book I could overlook it thinking that it would be better in the next one but... It was kinda like the author herself did not fully understand it, yk?

- Secondly, I also felt that the plot was very slow until the 55% mark I almost DNF'ed it (the most interesting thing in this part was Adam and Julliette making out and it was not interesting🤢)

- Julliette was very (whinny and self-pitying-ey) unlikable in the first half of the book. but Kenji knocked some sense into her later :D

- That's all!✨

Overall, This was fun! and worth a read (if only for Warner heheh)
