Holy crap, that ending O.O

[bell7_1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It's been sixteen days since Juliette killed the Commander, Warner's father, and took over Sector 45. Now, not sure what the next move of the other Sectors and the Reestablishment will be, Juliette, Warner, Kenji and their allies prepare for possible war.I was a little afraid I'd have no idea what was going on because it had been so long since I read the other books, but mostly what needs to be revisited is. Plus, this book is so internal - moving back and forth between Juliette's and Warner's perspectives - that not a lot really happens that was connected to the past. It's much more about character development and Juliette & Warner figuring out how to navigate their new relationship. In fact, the one downside was that I didn't find the tension of secrets quite so believable. They've only been together for, what, a couple of weeks? And trying to reorganize Sector 45 on top of that. Of course they haven't had time for in-depth conversations about their pasts! The ending is a major turn in direction and leaves the door wide, wide open - okay, yes, it's a full on cliffhanger - for sequels. I'm looking forward on seeing what happens next.

This series just keeps getting better! What an interesting twist at the very end!!! I can't wait for the next one to come out!

Before I started reading I was a little worried, some authors just can't handle series- they lose their characters a bit. NOT the case! I whipped through it in an afternoon because I didn't want to stop. Mafi keeps up the suspense and sucks you into her characters, exactly like the earlier books in the series. There is a major cliffhanger which was painful but awesome because that means there will be more!

“I cannot let the broken girl inside of me inhale all that I've become. I cannot revert back to another version of myself. I will not shatter, not again, in the wake of an emotional earthquake.”
So in the fourth installment of the Shatter Me series we're brought back to the story of Juliet and Warner - post war in the process of rebuilding their confiscated rebel base. True to her writing style, the book does not want for poetic descriptions and language. However, unlike Mafi's other books in the series which are more action oriented, there is a large focus on the ups and downs of teenage feelings, relationships, and inner turmoil. I was really excited to read Restore Me, yet instead of a novel I felt as though I was reading a soap opera. While appealing to some, I personally was disappointed that it didn't really live up to its predecessors.

With the mediocre plot revelations and "teen angst drama" this turned into, we could very well have interchanged the plot with parts of the The Selection and not even know the difference. Mafi's depiction of the characters completely contrasts her poetic writing style, making them sound unsophisticated and whiny. I was severely let down in this continuation.

This book did not restore me, if anything it shattered me beyond repair.

While Shatter Me was this beautifully written book with a slightly annoying MC and a kind of confined world, Restore Me broke all the barriers the first book had.
It's really impressive to see the series developed from that to this.
I really loved Juliette's development throughout the series, but I adored her development in this book the most.
Gone is the girl who scratched every word she thought and replaced it fifty times. Gone is the girl who cried for the dumbest reasons. Gone is the girl who needed others to approve of her every move.
Instead, there's this badass girl who doesn't need your validation or blessing to do what she wants. Yes, she makes mistakes, but she doesn't get too discouraged by them. While old Juliette would've cowered and wept in a corner over every mistake she made, the new Juliette sucks it up and moves on.

I loved how despite everything, Tahereh Mafi's writing is as poetic and gorgeous as ever, she definitely is a queen when it comes to writing things so beautiful you wanna hug the book forever and never let go.
