This was such a fun a quick read!! Definitely read the authors note and trigger warnings before reading though
I sadly couldn’t get into the story at all like I didn’t care single bit
I really enjoyed this series!!! But sadly I did find that the story was dragged out a little bit in the last two books
Tula and Rayner though???? They completely stole the show every time they interacted 😭😭😭 the way Rayner cared for Tula healed me 😭
I also really really love Cassius and Cyrus 🥹

Okay so reading this a second time I’m not gonna rate it 5 stars like I did the first time because last time I think I was blinded by emotions (this review is mainly focused on the negative things I noticed because of that)
I still absolutely adore this book and I’m so in love with Gibsie (and sometimes Claire) but I think going into this already knowing what’s gonna happen and reading this just after my 4th read of b13 & k13, it made me focus a lot more on the “imperfections” of this book, there were actually quite a few things I didn’t like
The first time I read this I was so overwhelmed with emotions from this book that I couldn’t see that it doesn’t really compare to the other books in this series
I’m also noticing so many discrepancies between t7 and b13 & k13 that make no sense and that bothers me SO MUCH (but because i still adore this series and world I will try to ignore this)
I think the thing I love most about this book is Johnny and Gibsie‘s friendship
I’m also very happy I read this again before Releasing 10 because now I’m sooooo curious about Hugh and Lizzie! I was absolutely terrified before rereading Taming 7, to the point where I wasn’t actually sure if I really wanted to read it. But this reread made me remember that if there’s one author that can pull of these tropes/ situations I don’t like then it’s Chloe Walsh and I also like that this book sort of already gave a deeper insight to Hugh and Liz’ situation because I was so confused during all my b13 and k13 rereads how those two connect and how there could ever be a way I would actually want their story 💀
I know that people HATE Lizzie (obviously) and I more than understand because there were definitely times I hated her too…. But I can kind of see where she’s coming from and I just know her story will rip my hearts to pieces (I’m thinking this will be Nesta from acotar sort of situation). This time around I was really able to focus on Lizzie‘s reactions and why she might be reacting that way because I wasn’t so blinded by Gibsie‘s trauma
I actually think after Releasing 10 I will like Claire less than Lizzie. I didn’t really notice it on my first read but this time I really really didn’t like Claire sometimes 🥲

I want to start of by saying I completely get why this is rated so high and why people love it. But I think that made my expectations sky high and then the book kind of fell a bit flat for me
I still really enjoyed it and I think I want to continue this series when a new book comes out (this is a series … right??I mean it has to be but I haven’t seen anything about that yet)
I just wasn’t that invested and it also didn’t give me the dystopian vibes I was looking for tbh

I loooooooved this 😭 I didn’t expect this book to make me so emotional but I should’ve because the og series means so much to me
Seeing all the characters from shatter me series made me want to cry and warmed my heart at the same time
I loooooove Tahereh Mafi‘s writing, she’s so effortlessly funny while also writing stuff so serious and heartbreaking
I don’t really read that much YA anymore but I’ll definitely read this whole series 😭
Even though Kenji stole the show sometimes and I wanted to cry every time Warner and Juliette were mentioned that didn’t overshadow the new characters and plot, I really loved seeing James’ and Rosabelle‘s characters! I’m very interested in how the story progresses 👀
I love James, at the beginning I was struggling with seeing him as a grown adult but I guess that’s kind of the point
I absolutely love the vibe of the book but Acker was lowkey giving me whiplash in the second half. One second I loved him and the next I really kind of didn’t… idk I was constantly doubting him and I think I could never really tell if his actions were genuine. Sometimes he just felt kind of icky to me and I hate that because I want to love him 😩 (also it rubs me so wrong that he slapped Brynn/Jovie in the end… I get it she just majorly betrayed him but I still reaaaallly hated that)
while I did not see the plot twist coming even though I expected nearly anything to happen (because everyone was talking about the plot twist so I expected the worst) I don’t think I liked it? So much stuff doesn’t make sense to me now and I kind of want to reread this immediately to see if I’m just imagining it or if it really doesn’t add up
I don’t really know if I think this book is brilliant or I kind of hate it lmao
I reaaaaally want to read the next book asap
Upon further reflection I’m now rating this 4 stars instead of 3,5 because I’ve come to the conclusion that I do think it’s brilliant and I loved it lmao (I‘m really hoping I get over my problem with Acker in the next book)
