![]() ![]() Adam and Juliette are dumb and plain and boring. Warner was my favorite character at some point because he seemed the only one being honest and making not such stupid decisions. But why? Can somebody explain this to me? Why? And, oh God why EVERYBODY falls in instant love with her and would do anything for her. Like any other novel of this sort I have read, Juliette is petrified, doesn’t do anything, doesn’t react to anything and stuff just happens to her. Why was Warner in love with Juliette? I think we should’ve had more time to see their relationship if we were meant to believe it, and she should’ve expressed something any kind of emotion towards him.Īdam’s scenes with Juliette seemed forced, though they were less cringy than the ones with Warner. I hated the love triangle, it was the definition of insta-love in both ways. It felt raw and real, and it was beautiful. I especially loved the very first part, when she’s all over the place. It progressively gets better, more organized and rational, and I loved to see through the paragraphs how her mind became clearer. The story is told by Juliette, and so we feel her struggles and her damage through her words. The writing was my favorite part of this book. I wanted to ask her so many questions but I didn’t because we don’t talk to people anymore because saying something would be stranger than saying nothing to a stranger. Shatter Me also had a love triangle and dystopic conflicts, but it felt forced and awkward. I enjoyed the slow burn between the characters, and the love triangle seemed like it was going to a good place until the second book, Fever, where it all went to hell and the book ended up being one of the worst books I’ve ever read, but still, I applaud the first one. The topic is similar, but Rhine is clever in Wither. I couldn’t help but think of Wither by Lauren DeStefano. For the first time in these books, I found the main love interest, Adam, so boring and plain. Reacting to nothing is sadly common for female protagonists in these type of books. She went from being this scared girl who was smart and knew how to cope, to being this scared girl whose feelings were all over the place and she reacted to nothing. Juliette was likable, at least more likable than other protagonists in her genre, but she progressively worsened. But more on that later, on the spoiler section. It ended up being the same dystopic YA with the same cliches and the many things I hate about dystopian when it’s not done right. When they get out I was still invested, still hoping the story would be interesting. Why is he here? What did he do? What did she do? Will the whole book be about them locked up? Well, no. It’s written poorly to show she is going a bit mad. I loved this first part of the book because it’s all inside the girl’s mind, like a long reflection. She is joined by a male cellmate, which is weird (deliberately). We are told her touch is lethal, that she kills everything she touches. We don’t know why, we don’t know how, but we feel the danger, the desperation. We start the story with a girl locked up in an asylum. I was enjoying the first third of the book, I actually loved it. Until it spins around and lies with lips and teeth carved into the semblance of something too passive to punch. Hate looks just like everybody else until it smiles. This is what we will be discussing today. ![]() I didn’t hate the book, I just hated many things on it. People either hate it or love it, I have rarely seen meh reviews. Having said that, I’ve heard so much about this book. They are gorgeous I really love the concept. First of all, I love the covers in this series. ![]()
