“I wonder if she knows that
I would anything for her.”
I wouldn’t have
dreamt of an heir to the Shatter Me series and yet here it comes! Another
seething, heart-warming yet cliffhanger sequel which will definitely tug at
your heartstrings all along. Juliette, Warner, I welcome you back guys! I
missed you so bad....
“…it makes it possible for
me to know how deeply Juliette loves me. I can always feel the rush of emotion
in her words, in her eyes. The certainty that she would fight for me. Protect
me. And knowing this makes my heart feel so full that, sometimes, when we’re
together, I can hardly breathe.”
If
the twelve years of the madhouse had not been enough, Juliette must face a
different kind of crazy. After having shot Aron’s father, the responsibility of
governing North America rests on her shoulders. Instead of going to prom, she
commands soldiers of this unhinged world of Re-establishment. When she presides
meetings of militarization, she would be supposed to worry about next day’s algebra
tests. Instead of buying a new dress for her first date, Juliette faces the
surrounding conspiracy while realizing it buries her deeper in the mud of treachery
and lies.
But
this world is not about normalcy any longer. It is about power and domination.
And only those will survive who outsmart the others. Juliette is about to
figure the whole mess out when she is already betrayed again. Not only by the
prominent leaders of the other half of the world, but by Warner himself.
“Juliette
will never, ever forgive me, I will lose her. And it will kill me.”
Although,
I should say, this dinky lie about her parents are totally forgivable, I mean,
he doesn’t even know a clue about her adopted parents let alone her abandoned
half-dead sister. Though, the missive is always the one to blame unfortunately.
Thus, I would have spared the poor blighter from a severe heartbreaking who, by
the way, thinks the sun starts and sets on Juliette. Warren goes off the deep
end where I was afraid he wouldn’t be able to come back. I had been travelling
on a rollercoaster in the hills and valleys of their relationship, and I have
been dropped dead at their flare-up. I was so high at their most intimate
moments and so low at their end game. The writing is flat-out genious.
“I only know that the scientists are wrong. The world
is flat. I know because I was tossed right off the edge and I’ve been trying to
climb back up for seventeen years but it’s nearly impossible to beat gravity
when no one is willing to give you a hand. When no one wants to risk touching
you.”
At the beginning I was wondering whether the plot
takes a war-centered direction full of malevolence and political turn-arounds. But
to my greatest pleasure, it was orbiting all along around Juliette and Warner.
Both of them are under a lot of emotional pressure putting me under an emotional mess as well as a sea of questions pop up in
my mind with the old life of Juliette. Like about her sister, and the
experiments in connection with the Unnaturals. How could they contribute to the
success of the Reestablishment? How can the regime take advantage of Juliette’s
deathly touch? Is Warner would be better leader than her?
I can’t bear this emotional turmoil really. Especially
in the end. I don’t get it at all what is happening right now. I want it to
continue! Like. Right. Now.
