Woof - I am both excited and terrified to see where this sequel series goes.
Klaus is a formidable villain, and the reestablishment trying to use those damn vials to chemically remove the supernatural abilities from the population, and turn the mind control on, is chilling. 😱😰 I lost my fucking shit over every single tiny creature of wildlife having a FUCKING CHIP in their heads😰🤯😤🫣
I’m literally so terrified for everyone and while I’m happy to be in this world again, PLEASE LET THEM LIVE Taherah?!ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ I hope she won’t keep us in suspense for too long🥲
Overall, though the pace was a bit slow, I feel like this was a worthy sequel that holds up well alongside the very best of the Shatter Me series. I appreciate getting such a detailed look at the emotional landscape of both James and Rosabelle. I feel like the groundwork has been laid, and now we’ll get into the gritty plot.
Thank you for reading this subpar review, and yes I WILL be an anxious wreck until the next book is out, thanks for asking🥲ðŸ˜

In my dreams I am safe; I have a strong hand to hold; a door to lock against the dark; a trusted ear into which I whisper my fears. In my dreams I am patient and kind; I have room in my heart for more pain than my own. I am not afraid to smile at strangers. I have never witnessed death.
I NEED MORE!!!
being back in the shatter me universe was soooo fun. it’s easy to enjoy this series when you don’t take everything too seriously
i didn’t expect to be giggling as much as i was but the dynamic between james, aaron, and kenji is unmatched

and speaking of leads, really did end up liking james and rosabelle. their chemistry was well established and remained consistent and organic, and they both have really interesting and complex personalites/personal arcs. i felt especially endeared to rosabelle and fascinated with the way her mind works but also absolutely heartbroken at the things she went through that made her the way she is, whereas james is still my prince and it was great to see how much he's evolved and how different he is than before, but still somehow the same in all the ways that matter. i fucking love the assassin x target or "falling for your mark" trope so my interest was immediately piqued once it made sense that its what james and rosa's dynamic was gonna be.
the tropes were surely troping, but even with all the effort put into the romance, the plot wasnt left behind at all. some sequels as of late are prone to being weakly written and obviously only exist for nostalgia bait and to keep generating hype and money, but i gotta give tahereh her flowers for this one bc it actually seems like she's got something solid going on here. it makes sense for the new republic to still be facing problems even after a decade of coming into power. klaus is an impressibly unique villain that will most definitely cause a lot of problems be very hard to take down, plus the ark island folks do seem like proper pricks that'll be a pain to deal with. i like that. gimme all the action! i am more than ready to be back in this world. so far this is really shaping up to be a pretty damn good second gen series and if tahareh mafi keeps this up then and i will happily lock the fuck in for the next book or two. 4.75 stars ;)
