“Unravel Me” is the second book in the “Shatter me” series written by Tahereh Mafi. The series is set in a future were the nations do not exist as the do now, the continents are divided into sectors and there is just one big government all countries are part of: “The reestablishment”. The reestablishment has everyone under his sight and controls everything.

Juliette has been held in different centers her whole life, she is dangerous: her touch can kill. Adam and Warner are the only one’s who can touch her and she escaped from Warner to go with Adam, even thought he told her he loved her. They have been living at Omega point for a while. They are the resistance group against the reestablishment. There live others as Juliette who has special abilities. Castle and Kenji have been studied the reason why Adam can touch her. They have, as well, tried to help her control her ability. However to control her power she has to know what it triggers it, and learn what is she capable of.

“Unravel me” was a really good book, however I must say I did not love it from the beginning. The first part of the book was a little tedious and repetitive. However, I must say the action at the end make it up for this. I especially enjoyed the intense moments between Juliette and the rest of the characters. I also really like how the character of Juliette develops, since I could not stand her most of the time in the first book, as well as, at the very beginning of this one. Kenji is another worth mention character that I loved, especially the humorous tone he gave to the book. Most people seemed to start hating Adam in this book, nonetheless; I understand him and his point regarding most things. The character I did not find necessary was Castle, it is not that I did not like it, it is just that I do not find his character neither interesting, neither necessary. About the plot, I found it interesting; however, I find the world in this dystopia not really developed.

All in all, Unravel me is a book I recommend to everyone who loves dystopia as well as character driven stories, even if you did not enjoy the first book in the series.

October Wrap Up - November TBR

Hello again everyone, Today starts a new month and that means that it is time to wrap up the previous month and set this month's TBR. Last month I set an ambitious TBR which I was unable to complete entirely, but I did manage to get a lot read which makes me kind of happy. As I also said on the previous month's post I was going to center this past month's TBR on the "Sweep/ Wicca" series by Cate Tiernan, and that is what I did. I managed to finish the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and get thought half of the eleventh. I have enjoyed most of this books, however the last two, Seeker and Origins, change the point of view and I have not been able to click with them as I was able to so with the other ones. As for the November TBR, I want to still finish this series, reading the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth and sixteenth books in the series, Eclipse, Reckoning, Full Circle and Night Child. Appart from that, I want to keep finishing s...

She will have to face the order of the count of St. Germain, who have the mission to complete the chronograph, an instrument which allow the travelers to choose the date to which they will travel.
