It should have taken Juliette one touch to kill Warner. But his immunity to her deadly power has left her shaken, wondering why her ultimate defense mechanism failed against the person she most needs protection from. She and Adam were able to escape Warner and join a group of rebels with their own powers. Juliette will now fight against The Reestablishment to try and fix her broken world.
I enjoyed this book a lot more than Shatter Me; the writing style didn't feel so jerky and there were times where everything seemed to flow together effortlessly. The characters were so much more developed in this book and I loved all the interactions between Juliette and Kenji because they are both so funny and sassy.
My main problem with this book was the actual plot. There were times throughout the story where everything that everyone was doing wasn't logical and should have been thought out more. Obviously there are times when people just jump to conclusions but in Unravel Me it seemed like they were constantly jumping to conclusions. The story takes place in a military base yet they couldn't sit down for five minutes to decide what they were going to do. And when they did think and planned one of two things happened: 1) something would happen that would mean the plans needed to change or 2) they would go out without a backup plan to save them! Which inevitably meant that something was going to go wrong!
My favourite part of this book was definitely the characters; they made the book a 4 star instead of a 3 star book. They were a lot more developed than in Shatter Me and I actually began to fall in love with all of them. Juliette is so weak and broken that I just want to climb into the book and hug her because she really needs a friend in her life. She is a lot stronger in this book, and I felt like we really get to see her character grow. Kenji is the same funny, sarcastic character that we got introduced to in Shatter Me, although we did get to see more of him in this book (last book he kind of just popped in halfway through).
And now onto the two main boys of this story: Adam and Warner. I loved both of them equally but I was frustrated with Tahereh Mafi and the way she was writing these characters. I adored Adam in the first book; he was kind and considerate and honestly everything that Juliette needed in her life. He risked everything he had to stay with Juliette including his own brother's safety. Honestly he was perfect. Warner was the polar opposite of Adam. He was evil and manipulative and he was one of those villains that I loved to hate. He treated Juliette like garbage and I was so glad when Adam took her out of that toxic relationship. But then I read this book and it was so obvious what Tahereh was trying to do because suddenly Adam was all distant and secretive but Warner was all kind and understanding and had a troubled past and I am not into it. I'm really sorry to all the Warnette shippers but I 'm not ready to ship them yet. Maybe in Ignite Me, but not right now.
I did enjoy this book for the most part (it was much better than Shatter Me), but there were certain things that annoyed me. Obviously you'd have to read Shatter Me before reading this book otherwise you'll be very lost with the plot. I would recommend you read this series though before it is a fun take on the dystopian future idea, with a very prominent romance plot.
