The Shatter Me Series is an addictive literary drug, and this book doesn’t disappoint. Juliette and Warner do not have the same information, knowledge, and experience of the other commanders, and Warner’s point of view allows the reader to understand the complex relationships that Juliette is attempting to navigate. Warner’s chapters provide an interesting glimpse inside the head of another major character, but they also allow the story to divide.
Juliette continues to be a fascinating protagonist, but the first-person narration is now split between Juliette and Warner. The cliffhanger ending is extreme, and I’m glad I have the next book waiting on the shelf! The other commanders and their children bring secrets and revelations that threaten to destroy everything she has achieved, and the people around her fail to give her the support she needs. After following Juliette’s hard-fought battles in the first three books, it is harrowing to see her progress undermined by the people around her. This is another gripping instalment in the addictive Shatter Me Series. When secrets about Juliette, Warner, and her supporters are revealed, she finds herself fighting for her identity, her history, and her freedom – and risks losing everything she’s worked for. They’ve called an international conference for all the Supreme Commanders, and the Commanders have responded by sending their children to meet Juliette before the conference begins.
Her friends have overestimated her ability to carry out diplomatic meetings with the leaders of other sectors and regions, and they are running out of time to prepare.
The first book of the second trilogy in the Shatter Me Series only covers a few days of action, but – wow – it’s an intense few days! Juliette is the new ruler of The Reestablishment, and she’s learning how hard it is to be a leader.
