Unravel Me (Shatter Me #2) - Tahereh Mafi Review

Image
Unravel Me picks up where Shatter Me left off. Juliette and Adam have joined the group of rebels and help in fighting against the Restablishment. Juliette with the help of some new friends who she learns have powers of their own is learning to control her powers when Warner is suddenly back in the picture. I read the novella Destroy Me which follows the perspective of Warner right after the events of the first book and I truly think I would not have enjoyed Unravel Me as much as I did if I hadn't read it first. You get more insight into Warner and learn that he is not the evil dictator that you once believed he was so that when you get to chapter 62 you die of all the feels and not think umm ok where did that come from. Tahereh Mafi has a way making you hate a character and then love them in the next installment and vice versa in a way that is realistic and not have you thinking oh I suddenly have to love this character because the main character likes them or where the

Finale (Caraval #3) - Stephanie Garber Review

Image
This is the last installment of the Caraval series and man is it a bittersweet one. I love this series with all my heart and cannot believe it has ended! I love this entire world and the wonderful cast of characters, so as much as I loved this book I'm also sad that this series has ended. There will be no more new things to discover about this world in the future.  Finale picks up a couple of months after the events of Legendary. The fates have been released from the deck of destiny and Legend has claimed the throne.  Unlike the first two books, there is no game in this one. Everything is very much real. There is no Caraval, just real events and real consequences. This is also told in dual perspective, from Tella and Scarlet's point of views which I think just wraps up both sister's stories nicely. You can get to see both their perspectives and both of their endings. I loved meeting the new cast of characters in this story, the fates truly deserve their own book

Queen of Shadows - Sarah J Maas (Throne of Glass #4)

Image
What a wild ride this book ended up being. Some characters I didn't care for in previous books I ended up really liking and some characters I loved in previous books I ended up not particularly caring about anymore. Sarah J Maas has an amazing ability of making you love a character and by the next book you hate them. Just read the first 2 books in her Court of Thorns and Roses series to understand what I mean. So this book picks up where the last left off. Celeana is back in Rifthold to kill the king of assassins and claim her birthright. Naturally that would be too easy, so many things go wrong and it is disaster after disaster. We meets some new characters in this book which at this point should probably be hard to keep track off but each character is so different from another that it's easy to keep track of everyone. However, unlike the first 3 books I will say by the end of this book I was definitely feeling hopeful, like things were on the right track to a happ
