Unravel Me (Shatter Me #2) by Tahereh Mafi - Restarting June 6th 2023

Chapter 48 - (view spoiler)[

And James has a gift!!!!
It's a good one (and not dangerous, Thank God!) 🙂

And Warner most likely has a gift too!

Does this mean that Commander Anderson might have a gift too?! 😱 ... He doesn't, right?! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ They're BROTHERS?! 🤯 (half-brothers).
So Warner's father is the same guy who beated Adam. Just makes me dislike Commander Anderson even more! I'm w..." (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Yes the same dude who beat Adam. It makes sense though considering he is mean to Warner as well. I dont think James is his kid though. (hide spoiler)]

[Vivi]

Chapter 50 (view spoiler)[

For real that the Bastard that is Anderson beat/tortured even Warner - his cold, imoral, almost perfect replica of a son?!

Anderson is a Disgusting, Abusive, Imoral, Phsycopathic Monster! Can't we just kill him now?! (hide spoiler)]

[Vivi]

Chapter 54 (view spoiler)[

Warner is an Empath? (I never would have guessed!)...
So, he can feel other people's emotions... And he's been hated by everyone around him all his life AND felt it - how heartbreaking is that?!

But, how does being an Empath explain how he can block out Juliette's gift??!! How can he touch her?! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Yeah, Warner's ability is pretty Cool! Not only he can sense energy (and emotions); he can also absorb and use/direct that energy into others. (that's pretty Awesome and Powerful).

While Adam can just block and disable energy/gifts... Make them stop. (which is pretty useful in a world full of people with gifts, too). Warner's and Adam's abilities are opposites, alright. (hide spoiler)]

[Vivi]

Chapter 62 (view spoiler)[

OH MY GOD! WHAT WAS THIS CHAPTER ???!!!

My poor heart! I'm shipping Juliette with Warner! Oh God, how did that happen? I love Adam too!

I actually like both boys! But I think Warner needs Juliette more... He needs some little ray of light, hope and love among all the darkness, death and hate he lives surrounded with! And I think Juliette will grow more with him...she'll definitely grow stronger and more confident with him by her side. And They actually might have a chance of a future.

But still, my sweet Adam! I love him too. I love that he loves Juliette since Always and that he tries to protect her somehow, even if he can't. My heart breaks for him not being able to touch her. It will be hard for them to stay together... Even if they love each other.

And, I usually really hate love triangles! I always root more for 1 guy than the other and I HATE the girl for being stupid, undecisive and playing with the boys' hearts.! BUT in here I think this love triangle was perfectly built! I like BOTH guys, I'm rooting for them BOTH. I want them BOTH to be happy!!!

Still, Juliette has to figure out her own feelings... (hide spoiler)]

Aly wrote: "finished - (view spoiler)[ It's sad that Warner went back to his father, but it's all he knows. And hopefully he thought he could help Juliette by watching Anderson. I'm happy Juliette is okay and with Warner again! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ It is sad that Warner believes that he can't change, that he is doomed to live as an Imoral murderous Monster like his father - That it's all kill or be killed - even if he really doesn't want to live like that!

(he says he's the only one who knows his own heart, who knows who - the kind of person - he really is. How hurtful must it be to have to be someone you're not; to go against your own essence! To be cold, unfeeling, Imoral when at your core you really do care and feel lots!)

Warner sees no other choice but going back to his dark life in Sector 45, because it's all he ever had and conquered in the 19 years of his life. He has nothing more (especially because Juliette didn't want to leave with him).

I really hope Warner finds another path in life; that he is able to find freedom from his father's grasp and control.

And Juliette seems to have found herself, a purpose and her strength. She's confident and she's ready to fight now! Ignite Me is gonna be Epic! (I hope). (hide spoiler)]

tbh I'm reading the first novella right now and I love it. I think I'm liking it better than shatter me lol

[Maddie]

Yes I really enjoyed it, it adds so much to the story! I hope we can do the whole series together! Although I won't be getting to the new trilogy for a few months until the new Fairyloot editions arrive

[Cinthia]

Cant wait to dive into this world again... hopefully i get my book on monday...

[Maddie]

Awesome! I can't wait too

[Cinthia]

im getting this one tomorrow..

[Maddie]

Sweet! It's my next read :) I'll get to it tomorrow

[Maddie]

Chapter 9 (view spoiler)[Something about her voice in this one isn't ringing out the same way. It's just grating and a little bit annoying if I'm honest... She's literally doing nothing. I understand that she didn't ask to be there, but she's such a child and acting like it.

I wonder what's going on with Adam too... They're in such a dodge situation (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Chapter 19 (view spoiler)[Juliette is becoming very annoying and I'm not a fan. So far we've gotten nothing about the outside world and it's all about how she feels so sorry for herself and how she loves Adam but she doesn't want to hurt him blah blah blah (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Soooo I finished all in one day haha I love how quick these are, and I've also done the novella Fracture Me! The spoilers below are all for Unravel

Relationships (view spoiler)[Okay I definitely prefer them together! She's got so many conditions with Adam, and I really didn't love the way they thought around each other. It felt so shallow and didn't make sense, I still feel like I don't know Adam apart from that piece of background we got. But I love Warner and how he is so much more fleshed out! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Juliette (view spoiler)[I'm so glad she finally started to DO SOMETHING although why do I still feel like Omega Point is dodgy? Something's up with Castle. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Kenji (view spoiler)[HE IS MY FAVOURITE the way he told Juliette what the fuck she was doing and to get over herself was great. Damn Juliette so whiny (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

And this is a spoiler for Fracture Me: (view spoiler)[I love how this opened with James calling him Addie <3 I felt like being inside Adam's head wasn't all that useful but I did like seeing how much he cared for James and how James would always come first. And how at the end it's like his urge to help Juliette came with conditions. If he really loved her he wouldn't care if she'd broken up with him. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I have the third one from the library now so hope to get it done in 2ish weeks if anyone is keen?

I also got the 3rd one from the library at the same time as the 2nd one...

Awesooome

[Brianna]

As Maddie is already aware, I couldn't start this yet because I have been completely enthralled by Fourth Wing and could not bring myself to touch another book lol. But I am done now, and will be starting this one tonight!

im reading bits and pieces of it... i have to work 16 hour shifts this weekend and also im engrossed with another book sooo it might take me a while...

[Cinthia]

22% (view spoiler)[ I wanna cry for Juliette and Adam, it is so unfair! I thought it wasn't going to be something too crazy what his power was but it sucks. I need more Warner in this story! I need to know if his power is the same as Adam or what? I love Kenji, I love funny Kenji and Serious Kenji. I don't care much for Castle he seems to just be collecting supernaturals. (hide spoiler)]

Yea, she needs to get with the program!

Glad it's not just me!

[Cinthia]

41% (view spoiler)[ Of course it's a setup, Warner's father does not want to talk, he wants to kill, and if he was coming in peace why would he kidnap some of Castle's people? I want more Warner in my life. I wonder what his power is! I keep reading hoping to get more of him but nothing. I am tired of Adam. I am enjoying Kenji, and Juliette is just getting on my nerves. I feel bad that Adam and Juliette can't be together because she is a Venus fly trap! Kenji's words not mine. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Yeah Adam and Juliette were bugging me as well!

[Cinthia]

53% What the???? Are you kidding me??? (view spoiler)[ Anderson is Adam's father? I did not see that one coming! So Aaron/Warner is his brother... whats with all the "A's" This is super crazy. I'm glad Juliette subdued Anderson but why would Castle call for war? he is so anxious to take over. I love me some Warner, he has to be a good guy! (hide spoiler)]

[Cinthia]

Maddie wrote: "Chapter 19 [spoilers removed]"

Yea that was annoying... too much feeling (view spoiler)[ sorry for herself. (hide spoiler)]

[Cinthia]

Maddie wrote: "Juliette [spoilers removed]"

Yes! it's not just me that has that feeling... I can't wait to see if my feeling is right... Castle just IDK!

[Cinthia]

im at the 50% mark and it's just about to get way more interesting!! I can't put it down now...

[Maddie]

You read this before the end lol my spoilers from then on are relating to my overall thoughts

[Cinthia]

oh k... I'll refrain til i'm done with it... lol

[Maddie]

Yeah Message 318 says that I finished and they're all about the ending

[Brianna]

I had almost no time to read this weekend so I am only done chapter 3. And I'm not totally sure if its because I just read fourth wing but I feel like so much in this book is so redundant. Like we could have just gotten rid of the first chapter and kept the last paragraph.... and so much else in the next 2. Its pissing me off and definitely not motivating me to read it lol. I'm already annoyed lol

[Maddie]

Yeah this definitely has middle-book syndrome. But the last half picked up way more than the first half!

[Maddie]

I won't be getting to Ignite Me for around 3-4 weeks as I'm going away

[Cinthia]

finished... (view spoiler)[ I love me some Warner. I can't wait to see them together. yeah I feel for Adam but that's not gonna happen anymore. I love earners power, super convenient. except for the time he almost killed kenji. I can't wait for Anderson to go! he is so cruel. I'm confused. is Warners mom dead now? (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I agree with those thoughts Cinthia!

[Cinthia]

Fracture: (view spoiler)[ can't wait for the guys to find out Juliette is alive! I feel for castle, his world destroyed. I love that James didn't listen to Adam about staying behind and left point just when it was about to be bombed. (hide spoiler)]

[Cinthia]

let me know when u want to start the third one. I got it from the library already.

[Maddie]

I have it from the library as well but I can't do it for around 3-4 weeks as I'm going on vacation and won't be planning any books, just mood reading.

[Cinthia]

ok. sounds good
