“Because these words I write down are the only proof I have that I'm still alive”
“Light a candle for me"
I haven't started the final book in the original trilogy but I can tell that these novellas give really good insight into Warner and Adam's characters.
In Shatter Me, I didn't fully trust Adam because he seemed too good to be true. His novella really showed how true that is. He is absolutely holding Juliette back and his inner monologue shows just how wrong he is for Juliette.
As for Warner, I understand why so many readers love him. His novella shows so much more depth than we see in the first two novels. However, I'm a little concerned about how Juliette's and Warner's respective traumas will interplay with each other. This feels like it could easily start romanticizing abuse. I think it's important to be careful of this, especially since this is a young adult novel.
Overall, the drama was fun and interesting. Both stories were pretty fast-paced and easy to read. I had a good time reading them!
