12/23/13: Fracture Me by Tahereh Mafi

Cover: Excellent. I like that they are all fitting together.
Author: Tahereh Mafi
Genre: Dystopian, Romance, Other
Goodreads Blurb: In this electrifying sixty-page companion novella to the New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series, discover the fate of the Omega Point rebels as they go up against The Reestablishment. Set during and soon after the final moments of Unravel MeFracture Me is told from Adam's perspective.

As Omega Point prepares to launch an all-out assault on The Reestablishment soldiers stationed in Sector 45, Adam's focus couldn't be further from the upcoming battle. He's reeling from his breakup with Juliette, scared for his best friend's life, and as concerned as ever for his brother James's safety. And just as Adam begins to wonder if this life is really for him, the alarms sound. It's time for war.

On the battlefield, it seems like the odds are in their favor—but taking down Warner, Adam's newly discovered half brother, won't be that easy. The Reestablishment can't tolerate a rebellion, and they'll do anything to crush the resistance . . . including killing everyone Adam has ever cared about.

Fracture Me sets the stage for Ignite Me, the explosive finale in Tahereh Mafi's epic dystopian series. It's a novella not to be missed by fans who crave action-packed stories with tantalizing romance like Divergent by Veronica Roth, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and Legend by Marie Lu.

Review:

It has been a while since I hopped back into this series. When I was first reading this, I got really confused. I didn't know who was speaking or what was happening. Now, after a bit, my knowledge of the characters and situation came back, but I think since the last book was published a little less than a year ago, Tahereh could've added a bit more detail just to jock my memory.

Otherwise, I missed Juliette's point of view. I know it was supposed to be about Adam and his point of view, but the writing seemed awkward. It wasn't at all like Shatter Me or Unravel Me, the main books, writing wise.

Now if we are talking about plot movement then BOOM BANG BAM. Something was happening every second. I couldn't put it down. I like that the characters aren't the only things moving the plot along. I like the raw conflict.

I cannot wait for the final book to come out. I cannot get enough of Juliette's world.

Future News:
February 4th, 2014 is when the final installment in this series will be published.
