“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.
