4.0

A gripping and fast-paced sequel to Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me. I really enjoyed the continuation of the story in this book and loved all the different characters that we get to meet and know more.

I did find Juliette’s character rather wishy-washy throughout and Adam’s brooding just made me want to slap him but Kenji’s characterization and character arc as well as Warner’s re-introduction was brilliant and really enthralling.

I also loved that we got to see more of James and how he has adapted to life at Omega Point. 

The action was non-stop and the constant revelations, red-herrings, and twists and turns left me reeling, from frustrated one moment to OMG the next! It was honestly brilliant and the writing style used to convey Juliette’s character is really well done and poetic. I loved it. Not as much as Shatter Me, but still an amazing book!
