Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi - Thoughts

Title: Unravel Me (Shatter Me #2) (Goodreads)
Author: Tahereh Mafi
Pages: 461
Genre: YA, Dystopian
Rating: Awesome!


I finished the first book in this series (Goodreads) on December 31st of last year. It's how I rang in the new year, pretty much. I really enjoyed it and couldn't wait to read this second in the series. 

Juliette is living and training at Omega Point. Adam is learning things about himself and is adjusting to his new life. The Reestablishment isn't going anywhere but will a war really happen? Warner is still hunting Juliette and will stop at nothing to find her. And Kenji is more of a focus this time around. I adore him. He's one of the best characters in the book. Hot, funny and loyal besides being incredibly talented and smart.

First, the cover. To die for. Such a great cover and I am so glad they redesigned the first one too. I like the redesign much better!

  

                          Before                                                    After

Writing style: I love the way they are written. The cross outs and repetition shows where Juliette's mind is. She is well developed as a character and we get to know her even more in this book. I wish she would stop with all the whining and wondering if she is a "monster" though. Give it a rest already! 

I know that some readers have jumped ship from "Team Adam" to "Team Warner" and as glad as I am to see a bit into Warner's past, I am just not sold. Sorry. Adam tries so hard and he puts up with so much from Juliette that I kind of want to shake him.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys dystopian and romance. The romance was pretty heavy in this one. Well written, great characters and Kenji. Have I mentioned him?

Your turn...have you read this? What did you think?

Cinder by Marissa Meyer - Thoughts

Title: Cinder
Author: Marissa Meyer
Pages: 390
Genre: YA dystopian
Series: Lunar Chronicles #1
Source: library loan
Rating: I loved it

The Cinderella story told as a young adult dystopian where she is a cyborg? Yes, please. It seems that every blogger and her brother is reviewing this one and rightfully so. It had action. It had humor. It had a hot prince. It had a totally unique spin on the story we all know and love, but I gush...I did have just a teensy problem with it though. I figured it out way before I wanted to.

And that is the only thing I didn't like about the book. Otherwise, I enjoyed it immensely and cannot wait for the next in the series to be released. I enjoyed the characters, even the evil Lunar Queen. I enjoyed the setting and lost myself in that world. I stayed up late into the night just to finish and was a bit sad to read that last page.

Unique and awesome. Well written with great and witty dialogue. A world that is different than our own but totally believable. Great, well developed characters and did I mention the hot prince?

And oh the cover! They say not to judge a book by its cover but oh.my.word. it is beautiful. I love this cover....the cover alone makes me want to pick up this book.

Loved this one. Marissa Meyer = amazing.
