I kinda have to disagree. Yes there are no hints, which is mainly because this was all planned later, but it still fits in with Juliette's narrative. Since (view spoiler)[ her entire life was planned and an experiment (hide spoiler)], she wouldn't have had access to any of this information beforehand, or access to anyone that would tell her. It is purely her current position that is causing everything to be revealed to both her and Aaron, since Anderson had a handle on all the classified info before.

[Jenn]

45%: (view spoiler)[ oh Juliette. Let down your guard and you get shot...I still don't trust this brother and sister duo yet. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

68%: (view spoiler)[ I feel like Juliette hasn't matured past 13 and that really makes no sense since she was only in captivity for less than a year. Idk that's always felt off to me. Also I don't think Warner deserves that response from telling her the truth that he literally just found out. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Finished: (view spoiler)[ So this was good but I'm a little disappointed. The characters seemed ...lost? It was almost a digression back to Shatter Me. The fact that Mafi couldn't remember her characters really shows. But I am interested in what's to come. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

22%

(view spoiler)[ In all honestly I'm still waiting for this book to convince me that this series, which was fantastic already with a good ending, needed to be continued. I mean I love learning more about Kenji, because I love him more than anything and learning about his childhood is devastating, but I would have preferred a Kenji novella to this.... So I guess it's cool that Adam and Warner may have a relationship, and that the other commanders are going to flip the script, but I really hope this gets more exciting. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

50%

(view spoiler)[ If Emmaline and Juliette are twins or something I will scream because no way will I believe Warner knew nothing. And this whole thing is while, though I was hoping Juliette was Haider's sister they kept referring to before Nazeera showed up. That would've been epic. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

63%

(view spoiler)[ I feel like this book is probably really good if you care about Juliette. But I kinda don't. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

80%

(view spoiler)[ I don't even know if I want Juliette to forgive Warner for lying and torturing her long lost sister. I just cannot care about their relationship at all. Everyone in this book except for Kenji just spends a lot of time feeling sorry for themselves. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Juliette really, really annoys me honestly. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Finished

(view spoiler)[ This was really disappointing. The tough Juliette is completely gone. Adam completely disappears from the book. Warner is annoying again. The new background for Juliette just seems soo uncomfortable and forced. Her killing a whole room of people was the only part of the book with a pulse and by the time it came I was bored into submission. (hide spoiler)]

HA HA ! I sooo like this comment, and I totally agree with you .

[Abby]

Finally getting to start today!

[Abby]

25%: (view spoiler)[Juliette really has no idea what she's getting into, does she? This encounter was just so awkward. (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

48%: (view spoiler)[Juliette has a sister? Super weird. (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

74%: (view spoiler)[Uh oh. Sector 45 is definitely in trouble. (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

Finished: (view spoiler)[Her name's not even Juliette? And it will be interesting to see how her parents are. (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, she was never the shining point of this series for me

A tad early. 😁 I’m only 43 pages in. And it’s only been a few weeks since I did my reread of the first three books. But damn, did I miss Warner! My gosh. 😍😍😍

[Felicia]

It's been a little since I've updated. I'm currently at about 50% so this'll be a big update.

(view spoiler)[I love Warner. Like seriously love him. He is so adorable. And I just can't help but be like madly in love with him. He is so incredibly perfect. Such a little cinnamon roll.

And Kenji. I missed his sassy ass so damn bad. I literally laugh out loud while reading this. I can't help it. He is just so hilarious. I love him. I need me a BFF like him. Lol.

Now, the newbies. I don't like the brother. He's a dick. I hate when people underestimate Juliette. It annoys the piss out of me. Just because she's small and young. And a female doesn't mean she can't take care of business. She's a bad ass and no one should underestimate her.

The sister, I'm on the fence about her. She saved Juliette. But did her and her brother organize the attack on her life?! Like I can totally see that they set that shit up.

AND! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS NEW REVELATION ABOUT JULIETTE! She was adopted! AND! HAS A FREAKING SISTER! WTF! I am totally just done! Mind blown! I was NOT expecting that. Insane! (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

I'm starting this one soon! Probably tonight

[Felicia]

Okay! No rush! I'm a little early. (:

[Ashley]

End of part 2/7 audio
(view spoiler)[ It’s freaking me out how this is messing with Juliette and Warner, they were already living happily ever after this whole time in my head! Kenji is as hilarious as ever. And that was cute the talk that Warner and Adam had, unexpected. Who are her parents? I can’t even think of who they could be that would be a big deal. (hide spoiler)]

[Felicia]

Oh shoot. I’m reading. A physical book. So I don’t know where you’re at. But I’ll read that spoiler as soon as I’m done. Which will be within the hour. 😁

Page 399(view spoiler)[My heart is literally breaking. Like I seriously don’t know how to feel. I’m worried about how I’m going to feel after this book. 😩 (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

I wish it had chapters! It’s so hard to mark places in chapterless books

[Felicia]

No worries. I just finished! I’ll look at the spoiler in a second.

[Felicia]

Girl! Just you wait! (view spoiler)[you definitely find out who her parents are! And holy shit. This whole book is just mind blowing. It’s insane!

I love Mafi. She, to me, is a writing goddess. (hide spoiler)]

[Felicia]

Finished. (view spoiler)[ my mind is blown! I don’t know how to feel. I am NOT okay with that cliff hanger ending! Wtf! I like NEED to know what happened to my Warner and Kenji! And damn near everyone died. Holy fucking shit. And her mom just pops her head in like Juliette’s whole freaking world didn’t just blow up. I can’t. I just can’t. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

Felicia wrote: "Girl! Just you wait! [spoilers removed

i'm terrified that they're going to be (view spoiler)[ related. I can't have Warner and her be related! I'm really not into the whole brother sister thing and that would be super weird if she dated 2 of her brothers but they also can't break up because they are perfect angels together.

Mafi is good! Her characters seem so lifelike to me (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

This seems like a somewhat short book. I should be able to catch up to all of your spoilers by tomorrow!

[Felicia]

The book is over 400 pages! Lol.

[Ashley]

It is?! Its only a little over 8 hours on audio, I would have thought it was shorter than that!

end of 4/7
(view spoiler)[ This is scaring me, I had to turn it off so it didn't stress me out if she gets mad at Warner when he (hopefully) tells her what he knows right now. Is it her parents trying to kill her? Who are her parents, I still don't know! Also Castle needs to quit being shady and saying he doesnt think she can lead them (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

Felicia wrote: "It's been a little since I've updated. I'm currently at about 50% so this'll be a big update.

[spoilers removed]."

I don't know how I feel about the (view spoiler)[ sister either. I thought she was definitely a bad guy until she saved her, but now what is she? The brother is a jerk, I don't think there is any way he can save himself in my eyes. The sister needs to be nicer to poor Kenji, he is trying to be nice! (hide spoiler)]

[Felicia]

I cna't wait for you to finish this! I need to vent! Lol.

[Ashley]

I should be able to finish today as long as everyone at work leaves me alone and doesn't try to make me do work things!

end of 5/7
(view spoiler)[ This was exactly what I didn't want to happen!! Now poor Warner is all alone while she goes flying off with Nazira to do god knows what. Why why why why whyw hywwhwyhwywwhywhwywhwywh (hide spoiler)]

Right! The poor little cinnamon roll. I love him so much.

[Ashley]

end of 6/7
(view spoiler)[
Not cool at all, this is almost over, is it really going to end with her and Warner mad at each other? Not cool. We already went through the stress between them getting together in the first books, I didn't need to go through it again!! He doesn't deserve to go through it again! Hopefully this book redeems itself before the end, none of the other reviews look like they're as mad as I am right now, so maybe it just me? Not cool

Not cool

Not cool

Poor Warner (hide spoiler)]

[Felicia]

Dude. Just wait! I'll wait for you to finish before I go off! Lol. Because I was upset too.

[Ashley]

end
(view spoiler)[
Nuh- uh. Nope. No. Nope. No. NO. I'm done. How could she?? How could she do this to him????????? Nope. Nuh-uh.

This is the equivalent of Maas breaking up Rhys and Feyre in ACOFAS next week, but she would never do that.

HOW COULD SHE?? HE DESERVED SO MUCH MORE

They couldn't have been a happy couple when people were trying to kill them? There had to be that much going wrong for poor Warner? No. No. Nope. Nu-uh.

NO.

I'M DONE. This series should have ended with the last book.

Nope. NOPE. No.

Done.

I can't.

Why did I read this? I wanted to read this so bad. I want to go back in time 2 days and never start this and just be oblivious.

Nope.

I need someone to wipe my memory. I don't want these memories. Take them back.

Nope.
(hide spoiler)]

Felicia wrote: "Finished. [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I know!! And now Warner is sitting wherever he is, thinking Juliette hates him and will never forgive him, why would he even fight to survive? Maybe he is just done. I hope him and Kenji are at least together, they were kind of becoming friends at the end. Poor Warner. And what was with them knowing each other when they were little? If Juliette thinks he remembered that too and didn't tell him, she's going to really have a temper tantrum (hide spoiler)]

[Felicia]

GIRL! I didn't see the notification that you commented on this!

(view spoiler)[I am right there with you! I cannot believe she ended it like that! Such a terrible cliffhanger! That's almost as bad as the end of Tower of Dawn! OMFG.

I mean Juliette's situation sucks. But at least we know she's alright and where she is. WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE WARNER AND KENJI ARE! And I love them more than Juliette! This shit is crazy!

I just can't. I don't even know what to think! (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

Felicia wrote: "GIRL! I didn't see the notification that you commented on this!

[spoilers removed]."

I know!! I honestly couldn't care less about (view spoiler)[ Juliette. The only reason I care about what happens to Juliette is because Warner would care. Anyone who would have that big of a temper tantrum over being stupid adopted anyway doesn't deserve Warner. He is too good for her!! (hide spoiler)]

[Felicia]

(view spoiler)[Omg yes! Warner is like perfect. I mean I know he keeps things to himself. But this relationship business and being in love business is new to him. So like if Juliette can't like work with him on becoming more open with her over time then she doesn't deserve him!

But can we just talk about Kenji! We don't know where he is! -.- (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

(view spoiler)[
LOL I bet he is with Warner somewhere, but where? Maybe Nazira is there and she is going to help them, she seemed like she might be on their side somewhat? And Kenji was nice to her! (hide spoiler)]

[Kelly]

I put Restore Me in my currently reading shelf for a while now but I only started this book yesterday. I’ve read 80 pages. I really want to love it like I loved the first three books but I can’t stand it whenever I read another “like”. It’s driving me crazy!! There are dozens and dozens of them. (view spoiler)[It’s also annoying that Juliette have no idea how to do her job. Thinking about it, it’s kind of naive and unrealistic for a 17 year old to rule over everyone. (hide spoiler)]

[Kelly]

I just finished and I thought the second half of the book was better than the first. I was really annoyed with all the 'like' as I already said and I wish an editor would have taken them out or something.

But! In the end it didn't stop me from liking the book and with that cliffhanger, I can't wait to read the next book. I still loved the first three books a lot more but it was enjoyable and I liked going back into this world.

(view spoiler)[ I was surprised to learn that she has a sister. I wonder what she can do and if she's gone insane after 12 years :(. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Her biological parents seems to be crazy!! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I didn't like the whole drama with Lena and Warner having other girlfriends blah blah blah. It's something I hate in books in general. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I really hope James will learn soon that Warner is his brother. I'm excited to see his cute reaction. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Also, how in hell are they going to stop the commanders from wiping the entire sector ?! Are they going to hold off after she killed 600 people :O ? Who knows. (hide spoiler)]

[Natalia]

Starting today! Can't wait to read it, I loved the previous books in the series!
15% (view spoiler)[ I hate this distance between Warner and Juliette. Their relationship had so much potential at the end of Ignite me, I hate seeing them so distant (hide spoiler)]
35% (view spoiler)[ What did Juliette expect?!? I get that she is inexperienced and unsure, but did she really think that it would be easy (hide spoiler)]
50% (view spoiler)[ Warner should definitely start trusting and sharing more information with Juliette. (hide spoiler)]

[Natalia]

80% (view spoiler)[ This Lena drama is totally unnecessary (hide spoiler)]
Ending (view spoiler)[ The ending was definitely unexpected. Even though this book is far from perfect, this cliffhanger got me interested to read the next one (hide spoiler)]
