This review is for those who have read or are familiar with the previous books, Shatter Me, Destroy Me, Unravel Me, Fracture Me, Ignite Me, and especially Restore Me or don't mind knowing major spoilers for them.
SPOILER ALERT
Juliette is still reeling from Warner's betrayal, and Kenji is trying to balance his friendship with her with his responsibilities as a leader of the resistance against the Reestablishment. Things get even more interesting when an unexpected person from Omega Point’s past surfaces.
The ending of Restore Me left readers gasping, and this novella full of Kenji’s signature sass and big heart is the perfect story to tide fans over until Defy Me.
That was NOT okay.
I've relied on these novellas to provide some humor, a little entertainment, and maybe a few answers to tide us over until the next book drops. They are NOT supposed to throw a whole bunch of new questions at us!
I mean, the flirting with Nazeera was adorable, and I can never say no to more time with Kenji, but this was cruel!!! I just don't know what to do. I won't get book 5 for another couple weeks. ARG!!!
Okay, calming down for a minute, this was a good book. It gave a bit more insight to the happenings at the end of the 4th book, which I have previously complained about seeming rushed. I was especially interested in the mention/reminder of Juliette's hallucinations caused by some toxin in her last shooting. But then Kenji still describes the horrific scene following her scream just like she did...but with a few more details unbeknownst to her.
And then the ending? Seriously WTF!? "This novella [...] is the perfect story to tide fans over until Defy Me [...] hits shelves in April 2019." Uh, no. It's the perfect story to make fans go CRAZY waiting for Defy Me.
Still, it was a great little read from Kenji's perspective, solidifying him as my favorite character ever. It's sweet, funny, and infuriating all rolled up into one package, just like Kenji!
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
