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.
This book
slayed me. I was by no means expecting a HEA with this being only the second book in the series, but Tahereh Mafi
tore my heart to shreds, after getting it pumping so hard it nearly flew out of my chest, of course. A middle book usually goes one of two ways for me: it can either be a big book of boring history and info-dumping making me reconsider reading the rest of the series, or it can be so action-packed and intense that I don't know up from down when I've finished, leaving me salivating for the next book so I can breathe again. I don't really think I need to tell you which category
Unravel Me falls in.
I'll be honest, I hadn't quite felt the connection to the characters I was looking for in
Shatter Me. I just didn't get to know them as well as I would have liked, despite being constantly inside Juliette's head. I never quite fully shipped Juliette and Adam as a couple either because I never felt their connection to each other, but I'm probably the only one who feels that way. Which made it all the more easy for
Warner and his novella to sway me to the dark side.
Let's just get this over with and all agree to disagree. Warner is evil. I know this. But in my heart of hearts, I still feel like he has the capacity to be better. He's fallen in love with Juliette, after all, and whether she believes it or not, she is the essence of all that is good and pure in a world gone mad. His ability to love her, the fact that he cares so much for his mother, and his cruel upbringing...all these factors suggest to me that he CAN change. He might not, but the opportunity is there, and I believe, despite his desire to be loved for who he is, that his love for Juliette just might be the push he needs. Granted, after certain revelations in
Unravel Me, this is going to prove more difficult than ever.
The swooning over Chapter 62? All worth it. It is evident in every word he speaks, every touch, every gesture, that this man loves Juliette. I could totally ship this romance, if he deems himself worthy to change for her. I'm not sure everyone else will be so willing to let bygones be bygones, but I'm willing to overlook things if a person has truly changed. “To err is human; to forgive, divine.” -- Alexander Pope (
An Essay on Criticism)
But fear not, all you Adam fans. He's present in
Unravel Me in heavy doses, and we learn a lot about him in this book. I can't say the things I learned endeared him to me, but I understand him better. However, I actually preferred his roommate in this installment. I didn't really get Kenji's appeal in the first book -- just seemed like a major jackass to me -- but you get a better sense of his character in
Unravel Me. The smartassery is still ever-present, but it's paralleled by his work ethic and sense of duty. He is truly a candidate for
best supporting character.
I can't really say that I learned all that much about the actual world of the
Shatter Me series, other than Warner's father -- who is
even more of an egotistical jerk than Warner appeared to be in the first installment -- was one of the founders of the Reestablishment and is therefore to blame for the state of the world as it currently stands. Instead,
Unravel Me sets itself up more as a character study, rather than doing any world-building. But considering I connected with the characters on every level this time around, I think that was a brilliant decision. I now feel completely at one with this story and the characters. Including all of their awesome -- or not so awesome -- superpowers.
I knew I wouldn't immediately have the time to spend with this story that I would have liked, so I nabbed the audio from Audible. Admittedly, I wasn't the biggest fan of Kate Simses narration on the
Matched series because she sounded almost childlike. (But maybe I should attribute that to the writing and not the actual narration?) I had forgotten she narrated
Shatter Me, so I had a mini panic attack when I saw that she was the narrator for
Unravel Me,
after I'd already purchased the audiobook, but I shouldn't have fretted. She superbly portrays all of Juliette's emotions and fervor. Simses does an excellent job narrating
all of the dialogue, actually. And the strike-throughs were hardly even noticeable this time around. They really sounded like thoughts Juliette wished she hadn't had. I need to check the finished copy, though...maybe the strike-throughs weren't as prevalent this time around? Either way, the audio was wrought with emotion, and I think I might actually prefer the audio to my own reading in this case. No joke.
Unravel Me was a spectacular follow-up to
Shatter Me, full of non-stop action and dynamic characters and BIG REVEALS. Not to mention some swoony, swoony romantic scenes. I was already anticipating this sequel, but after my re-listen of
Shatter Me, I was
dying for this book. And it did not disappoint!
Favorite Quotes: (
um, the whole book?)
“I'm not interested in waiting around and risking the who-knows and the what-ifs and the huge regrets. I want to feel all of it....”
“Sticks and stones keep breaking my bones but these words, these words will kill me.”
“Yeah, bro.” Kenji puts his utensils down. “You are moody. It’s always ‘Shut up, Kenji.’ ‘Go to sleep, Kenji.’ ‘No one wants to see you naked, Kenji.’ When I know for a fact that there are thousands of people who would love to see me naked—”
“I want so many things,” he whispers. “I want your mind. Your strength. I want to be worth your time.” His fingers graze the hem of my top and he says “I want this up.” He tugs on the waist of my pants and says “I want these down.” He touches the tips of his fingers to the sides of my body and says, “I want to feel your skin on fire. I want to feel your heart racing next to mine and I want to know it’s racing because of me, because you want me. Because you never,” he says, he breathes, “never want me to stop. I want every second. Every inch of you. I want all of it.”
“I am nothing more than the consequence of catastrophe.”
“Because if I lower my voice, I won’t be able to hear myself speak. And that,” he says, “is my favorite part.”
“Please don’t shoot me for this.”
“It's hot rain and humid days and broken thermostats. It's screaming and raging steam engines and wanting to take your clothes off just to feel a breeze. It's the kind of kiss that makes you realize oxygen is overrated.”

Tahereh’s Favorite Things Giveaway! #Furthermore #TaherehMafi
I've never done a book-look before, but I thought I'd give it a try...
Of course, I had to include fabulous shoes because we're talking about Tahereh Mafi here. But I also wanted to incorporate a fox somehow because a) I love foxes and b) there's one on the cover so it must be pretty important. And I couldn't pass on that adorable elephant coin purse. So. Cute.
I haven't read the book yet, though I do have both the ARC and audio in my possession, so it shouldn't take me long to get through it. :) But it seems like the kind of thing Katie would love, so I'm waiting on her.
Here's a little more about the book:

This year I’ve been all about finishing series books. Jess and I have been conquering this pretty good through our buddy reads. I was a little nervous going into this one with all the bad buzz going around. Turns out I had no reason to be.
You see, I’m not a team person. I don’t get wrapped up like that. Granted, I have opinions, and of course there is always a person I want the main character to end up with, but… none of that truly matters to me as long as the main character is happy. If the story is great, who cares!
Some people do though, and get really heated over it. That is just not me.
I really enjoyed it. So many series endings have been blah for me, but not this one. I think it ended perfectly. I wasn’t Juliette’s biggest fan in Unravel Me, I thought she was a total whine bag. She really comes into her own in Iginite Me, and I loved seeing her grow as a person. She’s strong and confident and finally going after what she wants. What’s good for her! And I cheered!
Kenji was by far my favorite character. He cracked me up, great comic relief. There are some tough moment between Julliette, Adam, and Warner… Kenji’s humor always lightened the mood.
Oh the steamy scenes… chapter 55. Wow. I think it was 55. I should have bookmarked it. So hot. I won’t mention the parties involved but it was just perfect.
Everything wrapped up well, but I almost feel like more books can be written and I kinda hope this happens. I will be the first in line to buy them.

{Audiobook} Review: Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi
Author: Tahereh Mafi
Narrator: Kate Simses
Series: Shatter Me, book #3
Length: 9 hrs 50 mins
Publisher: Harper Audio
Publication Date: February 4, 2014
Source: purchased
Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Audible
This would be a very difficult book to review without the use of spoilers, so I've separated my spoilery thoughts below for those who haven't read this book yet. Also, I have a feeling that this book will be very polarizing, that there are going to be a lot of unhappy fans but a lot of ecstatic ones, as well. I, for one, am very pleased with this final book in the Shatter Me series. Finally...a series finale that I can say that about!
First off, I still can't disassociate Kate Simses as the voice of Cassia in the Matched audiobook series. So, hearing her here as Juliette -- and in the previous books -- makes it hard to separate the two stories at times. Maybe that voice fit Juliette in the beginning, but she got to be quite fierce throughout the series, and with the innocent, child-like qualities of Simses voice, it was hard to vocalize the change in the character. I do love how she brought Kenji to life, though. I didn't get his appeal the first time I read Shatter Me, but after hearing his witty repartee, I found myself wishing for more of this character.
Second, I didn't read Adam's novella. I'd heard that it hinted at what's to come in Ignite Me, and I wanted to be surprised, I wanted to love this book as much as Unravel Me, so I refrained from picking up Fracture Me. Also, I'm just not an Adam fan. Haven't been from day one. Even in the first book, I found myself shipping Warner and Juliette...and that's when we knew little to nothing about Warner. Knowing what I know now, I would have pushed even harder for these two to end up together.
Despite that/in spite of that/because of that -- take your pick -- I found this ending really satisfying, which is kind of weird considering that it's pretty close to one of those endings that's all tied up in a pretty package with a bow and everything. I'm usually not a fan of those, but this ending wasn't entirely picture-perfect, so maybe that's why I find it so tolerable in this case. There were places in the story where the plot crawled at a snail's pace. The book was loaded with relationship melodrama. And the ending did feel a bit rushed. But I don't even care. This book was equal parts emotionally trying and rewarding, and I felt so relieved --triumphant? complacent? weightless? -- when it was over. And that's all I'm really asking for...when a series has to end, can't you just make me feel better about that fact?
Okay, now for all of the things I can't say without
risk oftotally spoiling things...Some may say that Adam's transition to complete douche-nozzle is a complete 180 for this character, that they don't know him in this book, but considering I was never a fan of Adam's to begin with, I think I saw glimpses of this boy before. He's impulsive and somewhat irrational, and he's the son of Anderson. And just as there are shades of their father in Warner, there are in Adam, as well.
Warner and Juliette
arewere both kind of crazy-pants. They've both lived in isolation for most of their lives, never having a true friend or even anyone to really talk to. They may have had their differences in the beginning, but when the truth about Warner's real plans comes out, they realize they have a lot more in common than it seemed. And yet, they don't immediately fall into each other, despite what Adam may believe.I kind of loathe that the romantic elements became the main focus of this trilogy, but at the same time, this is one of the few times that I've enjoyed a love triangle and applauded the way it worked itself out. This is how Boundless should have gone, even if it did piss off a lot of fans. People change, relationships mature, and sometimes they end. That's the way life goes.
I was a bit unhappy with the way Juliette projected her feelings onto Adam, though. It's one thing for her to admit that she is no longer in love with him, but it's another to assume that he feels the same way, especially when he's claimed no such thing. However, I did appreciate that she and Warner didn't try to parade whatever was happening between them around in front of Adam. He didn't deserve that, but also, nothing was happening for the longest, so there wasn't anything to parade around.
But when things did finally heat up, when Juliette was finally ready to admit her feelings...wowsers! Chapter 55. SO HOTT! That is all.
That isn't even half of what I want to say about this book, but it's enough for now. Feel free to get ranty or excited in the comments, just please remember that not everyone has read the book yet, so mark SPOILERS carefully.

Waiting on Wednesday: Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's WoW selection is...
Author: Tahereh Mafi
Series: Shatter Me, book #3
Publisher: HarperTeen
Publication Date: February 4, 2014
Juliette now knows she may be the only one who can stop the Reestablishment. But to take them down, she'll need the help of the one person she never thought she could trust: Warner. And as they work together, Juliette will discover that everything she thought she knew--about Warner, her abilities, and even Adam--was wrong.
In Shatter Me, Tahereh Mafi created a captivating and original story that combined the best of dystopian and paranormal and was praised by Publishers Weekly as "a gripping read from an author who's not afraid to take risks." The sequel, Unravel Me, blew readers away with heart-racing twists and turns, and New York Times bestselling author Kami Garcia said it was "dangerous, sexy, romantic, and intense." Now this final book brings the series to a shocking and climactic end.
Again, I'm positive this will be a popular pick this week. I don't care. I absolutely love this cover. And Juliette's going to discover things that are going to change her perceptions of both Warner AND Adam? Woohoo! #TeamWarner all the way!!! I do so love the redeemable villain. ;0)

Review: Destroy Me by Tahereh Mafi
Author: Tahereh Mafi
Series: Shatter Me #1.5 - novella from Warner's POV
Publisher: HarperCollins
Publication Date: October 2, 2012
Source: purchased
Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble
In Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me, Juliette escaped from The Reestablishment by seducing Warner—and then putting a bullet in his shoulder. But as she’ll learn in Destroy Me, Warner is not that easy to get rid of. . .
Back at the base and recovering from his near-fatal wound, Warner must do everything in his power to keep his soldiers in check and suppress any mention of a rebellion in the sector. Still as obsessed with Juliette as ever, his first priority is to find her, bring her back, and dispose of Adam and Kenji, the two traitors who helped her escape. But when Warner’s father, The Supreme Commander of The Reestablishment, arrives to correct his son’s mistakes, it’s clear that he has much different plans for Juliette. Plans Warner simply cannot allow.
Set after Shatter Me and before its forthcoming sequel, Unravel Me, Destroy Me is a novella told from the perspective of Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45.
I'm going to keep this review short and sweet...just like the story. Okay, well, not just like the story, but you know what I mean. I love novellas because of the insight they provide into a particular character's mind, one that maybe wasn't the main focus of the original book but left you intrigued nonetheless. And the insight I got into Warner's character in Destroy Me captivated me more than I already was...which is saying a lot because his character was my favorite aspect of Shatter Me.
First of all, I loved seeing Warner's reaction after finding and reading Juliette's journal, his acknowledgement that they were even more alike than he's originally believed, what with the abusive parents and loneliness. But as he's discovering more about Juliette, he's also discovering things he didn't know about himself. He has the capacity to love and to feel empathy...and it all scares him but fascinates him all the same.
Poor Warner, misunderstood villain that he is, thinks he might be going crazy after what he's suffered and lost since the events that occurred at the end of the first book. His abrasive father just might push him over the edge. But through it all, Warner becomes even more self-aware than he already was. Half-way through this novella, he's describing the lethal killing machine that he has trained to become, and in almost the same breath, he's declaring himself a coward.
It pained me to read some of the passages, as it becomes evident that Warner is only doing as he's expected in an attempt to appease his over-bearing father. But I really enjoyed this novella and can't wait to get back to the Shatter Me world when Unravel Me releases early next year. For those of you who are eagerly anticipating the sequel, as well, I definitely suggest picking this one up...unless you're a Team Adam fan. Just sayin'...Warner is not very happy with Adam Kent at this point.
My favorite part? Warner's own admission that he loves long baths. Me, too! =D

Waiting on Wednesday: Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's WoW selection is...
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.
Why I'm waiting: If you'll remember back to a few weeks ago, I was already waiting on Destroy Me, the short story told from Warner's POV, but then Jennifer from Some Like It Paranormal had to go and post this teaser. I'm still swooning! I was never really a fan of Adam's, but I have to admit Warner's character really intrigued me. He's one of those villainous hot guys who gives you an inkling that they just might have some good in them yet. Not that I don't fall for the evil-doers from time to time, but I do like it when they start questioning themselves. ;0)
I can't wait to get my hands on this book! And I'll definitely be picking up that novella as soon as it's released in October, even if it does make me yearn for Unravel Me that much more. I know...I'm a glutton for punishment. :P

Plans Warner simply cannot allow.
Set after Shatter Me and before its forthcoming sequel, Unravel Me, Destroy Me is a novella told from the perspective of Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45.
Why I'm waiting: Warner. Plain and simple. He was the most fascinating character from Shatter Me, and though he is the crazy villain hell-bent on making Juliette his, I'd like to see more of him. A lot more of him. As in, he should have his own book, not just a novella. But I'll take what I can get.
And this should ease the wait until Unravel Me releases in February. Yes, February. I thought waiting a year in between books was brutal, but anything more than a year is just unspeakable. Hence the short story in between releases. I suppose, anyway.
So, what are you waiting on this week? Do you have a very long wait, or will your suffering come to an end soon? :P
