Unravel Me, by Tahereh Mafi

The second book in the Shatter Me Series is titled Unravel Me, by Tahereh Mafi. Following Juliette Ferrars' escape with Adam in the previous novel, it is the continuation of her quest to stop the Reestablishment and primarily takes place underground in Omega Point. Although Juliette and Adam's love is still developing, a startling realization threatens to ruin it. As the story progresses, Warner's appearance causes everything to become more complex. But, this doesn't stop Juliette from doing what's right, even if it costs her heart. 

There was a lot of action, mysteries, and revelations in Unravel Me; it was just as fantastic as the previous book. I think this was the longest book in the entire series, but I finished it quickly since I had no trouble keeping my attention on the book. At least for me, the book's first half was fairly dull. This is solely due to Aaron Warner's absence during the first half. BUT, after he entered the picture, everything changed for the better. It was exciting since we also got to meet the story's primary antagonist in this book. In the first novel, I stood by Warner and Juliette, but things didn't work out. However, it appears that our protagonist has begun to develop feelings for Warner, so I'm interested to see how that will turn out. Additionally, I really enjoyed Kenji's role in this one. We also learned more about Omega Point and its perks. I enjoyed the book overall. I strongly advise everyone who has read the first book to check this out as well.
