Destroy Me by Tahereh Mafi
In Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me, Juliette escaped from The Reestablishment by seducing Warner—and then putting a bullet in his shoulder. But as she’ll learn in Destroy Me, Warner is not that easy to get rid of. . .
Back at the base and recovering from his near-fatal wound, Warner must do everything in his power to keep his soldiers in check and suppress any mention of a rebellion in the sector. Still as obsessed with Juliette as ever, his first priority is to find her, bring her back, and dispose of Adam and Kenji, the two traitors who helped her escape. But when Warner’s father, The Supreme Commander of The Reestablishment, arrives to correct his son’s mistakes, it’s clear that he has much different plans for Juliette. Plans Warner simply cannot allow.
Set after Shatter Me and before its forthcoming sequel, Unravel Me, Destroy Me is a novella told from the perspective of Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I love reading from Warner’s POV. I’m a little saddened to say that I don’t have more to add here. The path taken into Warner’s mind is damn sure worth the read.
Fracture Me by Tahereh Mafi
Set during and soon after the final moments of Unravel Me, Fracture Me is told from Adam’s perspective.
As Omega Point prepares to launch an all-out assault on The Reestablishment soldiers stationed in Sector 45, Adam’s focus couldn’t be further from the upcoming battle. He’s reeling from his breakup with Juliette, scared for his best friend’s life, and as concerned as ever for his brother James’s safety. And just as Adam begins to wonder if this life is really for him, the alarms sound. It’s time for war.
On the battlefield, it seems like the odds are in their favor—but taking down Warner, Adam’s newly discovered half brother, won’t be that easy. The Reestablishment can’t tolerate a rebellion, and they’ll do anything to crush the resistance . . . including killing everyone Adam has ever cared about.
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
So far this has been my least favorite part of this series. I like Adam okay, but this just didn’t grab hold and scream READ ME, nor did it hold on and say KEEP READING ME even though there were parts that made you go question everything.
Adam’s love for his brother is endearing, but my like of him has fallen apart. It was weak to start and not because I love to love the bad guy either. Over and over again I want to shake him and ask if he’s really falling apart right now or could he be anymore… something..
Maybe part of my problem with this book is that to me Adam is weak and that pushes my dislike of this little addition to the series. OR.. maybe it just isn’t up to par with the rest of the series. Even if the first is true, I stand by the second half of that too. This is the weakest link.
I have to say that through this whole series I kept seeing Castle as … Jaha from The 100. Right up until this book. This fractured that whole image in my head and now i’m not sure what I see when I hear about him.
