Kinda slow going and not much happened but there were a lot of revelations。

I honestly loved every second of it， it was so intense but written so well at the same time。 There was so much going on but the way all the new revelations were revealed was amazing。 I couldn’t stop crying。

as a whole， this series was amazing。 the three first books were the best and i feel like the author didn’t need to have that many sequel books， one and a novela would be enough。 However， everything got wrapped up and it all made sense so im very happy i loved it

'Today is not forever。 Happiness does not happen。 Happiness must be uncovered， separated from the skin of pain。 It must be claimed。 Kept close。 Protected。' Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow。 I said this on Instagram already and I will say it again here: I bloody LOVE Tahereh Mafi。 Somehow， I always forget just how much I adore her writing style until I pick up another of her books and get to fall in love with it all over again。 Not only the style though， but the CHARACTERS！ AGHHH。 I mean， like I sa 'Today is not forever。 Happiness does not happen。 Happiness must be uncovered， separated from the skin of pain。 It must be claimed。 Kept close。 Protected。' Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow。 I said this on Instagram already and I will say it again here: I bloody LOVE Tahereh Mafi。 Somehow， I always forget just how much I adore her writing style until I pick up another of her books and get to fall in love with it all over again。 Not only the style though， but the CHARACTERS！ AGHHH。 I mean， like I said in my Restore Me review， the rest of the cast are still just GONE but I think in this book it made more sense and hopefully we'll see them more in Imagine Me。 Warner broke my heart about 50 times in this book alone， but Kenji x Warner never fails to crack me up and I'm so here for it。 '"Unless someone is dead， dying， or we are under attack， I want you gone before I even finish this sentence。"' '"You are a plague upon my life， Kishimoto"' WHY DID WE NOT GET THIS SOONER。 Also， Juliette was redeemed for me in this book and so I was able to enjoy her journey and development again。 This instalment also really adds to the world building that was entirely neglected in the first few books。 Better late than never， eh？ I appreciated the change of setting and the direction it all took。 My main comment however was that it felt a little rushed。 The book was far too short because just as it finally seemed to find it's feet， it was over！ I loved what we did get though :） "It takes root inside of me。 Hope catches fire in my blood， a feeling more powerful than these drugs， more powerful than myself。"' Constants throughout this book/series:•Warner thinking he doesn't deserve anything。•Juliette crying and then hating how much she cries。•Warner thinking he doesn't deserve anything。•Warner making me cry。•DEATH•Kenji interrupting。。。 everything。•Warner thinking he doesn't deserve anything。•Nazeera being a badass。•Warner thinking he doesn't deserve anything。•Kenji making me laugh and cringe at the same time and then deeply move me with his hidden wisdom。 '"Thank you for appreciating my face。 I've always thought I had an underappreciated face。'" 4 stars。 。。。more

3。75 ⭐ There was more romance than actual plot。 At this point I don't even remember what the actual plot even is。 Just that Warner loves Juliette and Juliette loves Warner。 That。 is。 it。That being said， I did enjoy reading the book though。Spoilers ahead ⚠️Why is Anderaon back from being "Dead"？？？ He should have stayed dead。 3。75 ⭐ There was more romance than actual plot。 At this point I don't even remember what the actual plot even is。 Just that Warner loves Juliette and Juliette loves Warner。 That。 is。 it。That being said， I did enjoy reading the book though。Spoilers ahead ⚠️Why is Anderaon back from being "Dead"？？？ He should have stayed dead。 。。。more

I enjoyed this book but it was SO short。 This felt more like a novella than a full book。

Om man gillar läsa om föräldrar som torterar sina barn ska man läsa denna boken… Hur som helst， det är helt okej men växlandet mellan dåtid och nutid förvirrade mig ofta。 Det tog ibland en hel sida innan jag förstod vart i tiden vi befann oss。 Bokserien har verkligen tagit en större vändning i de nyutkomna böckerna。 Om man vill ha ett lyckligt， icke eskalerat slut bör man stanna vid bok 3。 Det slutet hade fungerat men varför inte mjölka ut det sista man kan och vända upp och ned på spelbrädet？

Honestly I have remixed feelings about this book。 I really enjoyed the plot twists and the story in general but the writing just felt really off to me。 I really couldn't understand the difference between the three POVs because the writing style felt exactly the same to all three of them 。 The long and beautifully described descriptions that I loved in Shatter me were nonexistent and the constant throwbacks and memories slow down the better half of the story and all though they were quite enjoyab Honestly I have remixed feelings about this book。 I really enjoyed the plot twists and the story in general but the writing just felt really off to me。 I really couldn't understand the difference between the three POVs because the writing style felt exactly the same to all three of them 。 The long and beautifully described descriptions that I loved in Shatter me were nonexistent and the constant throwbacks and memories slow down the better half of the story and all though they were quite enjoyable I think it would be far better for them to exist in a novella so that the plot wouldn't be so slow。 All that aside I found the story really unique and interesting so it's probably 3。5/5 stars for me 。。。more

I liked this one better than the book before。 The things that are happening don't surprise me。 Tahereh just puts to many plot twist in her books or nothing happens at all。 The love I felt for the first book and the reason I'm still reading this series， is already gone since book 2。 Doesn't matter I still enjoy the books， but the need to read then out the moment I start with them is gone。 And wow sometimes these books remind me of the hunger games so much。Which I don't like！ I liked this one better than the book before。 The things that are happening don't surprise me。 Tahereh just puts to many plot twist in her books or nothing happens at all。 The love I felt for the first book and the reason I'm still reading this series， is already gone since book 2。 Doesn't matter I still enjoy the books， but the need to read then out the moment I start with them is gone。 And wow sometimes these books remind me of the hunger games so much。Which I don't like！ 。。。more

4。5 starsThis is 20x better than Restore Me and everything actually made sense？？？ The ending was so domestic it hurt my heart I love them sm :，）Also it’s 4。5 stars purely based on characters and finally plot progression。 The writing style is completely different from the first three books， which is a little disappointing， but I still loved it。
