Destroy Me


Since this is only a novella between two books, I don't have much to say, but what I do have to say affected my opinion of the series as a whole.

Blurb from Goodreads.com:

Perfect for the fans of Shatter Me who are desperately awaiting the release of Unravel Me, this novella-length digital original will bridge the gap between these two novels from the perspective of the villain we all love to hate, Warner, the ruthless leader of Sector 45.

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 Review:

This really helped with the problems I found in the first book, it was a peek into their world in a way that we hadn't had in Shatter Me, and it clarified a lot. 

It really changed my mind about Warner, the kind of 180 degree turn that rarely happens with me. Mafi managed to completely revise my opinion on a character I thought I knew, without changing who that character was..I could see this new side of Warner in the old Warner that I knew, and it helped me understand the character better.

I'm impressed with the author even more than I'd been after reading Shatter Me and I can't wait to read the sequel.

Ever Yours~
