Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi
3.0
Based on the hype surrounding this particular book in the series and the romance between two certain characters, I was expecting a whole lot fucking more from this book.
I don't know how many people compare this book to A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas by way of the feels it invokes with the love triangle. It doesn't even come close. Not even a fraction. I still just do not understand the love and obsession and feelings Warner has for Juliette. I feel like they were built on straw, not bricks. The whole basis of their relationship is show, show, show, and I need some tell. That is one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to relationship building in books. I need to shown with actions and decisions, not just told with descriptions.
I think I enjoyed this one more than the first book. It was harder for me to get through and took longer to read, but I did appreciate the characters more. I felt like they were more grounded and flushed out. They didn't feel as much like props to Juliette's internal monologue.
I do plan to continue on with Ignite Me. I can't say if I'll continue with the series beyond the initial three books, but I do intend to finish out the trilogy. I'm still very much interested in the Warnette storyline, which was the whole reason I picked up this series in the first place. So, I'm excited to see how that continues to play out in the next book.
