Unravel Me - Tahereh Mafi

"tick

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."


Well I decided to give the second book ago even though I didn't really enjoy the first one. I saw it on the shelf in the library and thought why not. Bad idea. This book is worse then the first one...by a lot. Can't I read one YA book without a love triangle and with a cardboard cut-out and a psychopath no less.

Okay first, I've always seen Juliette as this fragile, wide-eyed lost girl. Of course, in the beginning it made sense, but she's still the same way in this book! She's way too wrapped up in her own world, and her only concern is Adam Adam Adam. She just seems so pathetic.You'd think that because of all that she's been through she would learn to, y'know, toughen up and grow a backbone. But nope. Another thing she really needed to realize is that, the world she lives in is a terrible, war-ridden wasteland of a place and she has to stop being so soft,because that might well get her killed.

I loved Kenji in this. He pretty much clocked her down on everything that I just said. I was literally cheering and hollering when he completely schooled her and told her what the reality of the situation was and basically told her to get it together. I wasn't sure if it really got through to her at first, but eventually I was glad to see that she did take the words to heart and wanted to work on changing. By the end of the book, I definitely noticed the change in her, but I truly hope that she'll keep her word this time and I won't see any more of this wallowing, woe-is-me. I'm watching you, Ms.Ferrars.

Warner, what do I say. He did a strange character u turn while still being mildly believable?? I don't know, I still don't like him no matter how he justifies his actions...

I will read the last book so I can review it but I have few hopes of enjoying it. Way to many X-men \ Hunger Games vibes and little character development.  

Age rating 13+ . So painfully boy revolved.
