Restore Me: 4 (Shatter Me)

Product Information

This ends the original Shatter Me trilogy, but Mafi wrote three more novels 4 years after the completion of the first trilogy. For new readers to the series a quick glance at all the books published might leave you scratching your head. Warner proposed to Juliette two weeks ago and wants nothing more than to marry her, but there is not time for a wedding amidst the chaos surrounding them. This allows you to see what Warner is thinking since Shatter Me is told from Juliette’s point of view.

More than anything she wants to rely on Warner for support and guidance when children of other world leaders show up on her doorstep, but he has been keeping secrets from her that will change everything. There has always been a darkness lurking in Juliette and with her devastation at these revelations, it threatens to consume her. In the wake of its destruction Juliette doesn’t know if any of her friends, the rebels, are still alive. They don’t understand her power, but as the world crumbles around them, they don’t care so long as she can’t hurt anyone else. The fifth and final novella in the Shatter Me series is a sequel to the explosive conclusion of the final novel.It’s much easier for me to deal with than when an entire book is written in a different dialect, like Goddess in the Machine.

Now let’s take a look at each book in Shatter Me series individually and tell you what they’re all about. As with the previous novella it is from Kenji’s perspective and reveals more depth to his character than what can be shown in the novels. Then an explosive encounter takes place with unexpected visitors, which threatens the tenuous control she maintains. Their forces seem to be doing well on the battlefield, but The Reestablishment won’t allow for a rebellion. They serve as bridges from between books with supplemental plot from a specific character’s point of view, so you can cherry pick which character interests you the most.Warner is recovering at the base and doing everything he can to suppress rumors of a rebellion and keep his soldiers in line. But her deadly powers are still at the tips of her fingers and now the whole world rests in the palm of her hand. One side effect of this is that throughout the book there are crossed out lines, as if Juliette is writing in a journal and crosses out things she initially wrote, but changed her mind. Their future together finally seems to be within reach, but will Warner and Juliette ever be happily together?

Further occurrences of repairing what had decayed included personal relationships, fortunes, and health. He is preoccupied by thoughts of his recent break-up with Juliette, concerned for his brother’s safety, and scared for his best friend’s life. Meanwhile, Juliette is reeling from Warner’s betrayal when an unexpected person from Omega Point’s past reappears.

Although we may stray from steadfast faith and obedience, there are numerous Bible verses about restoration we can look to for inspiration for renewal in our lives. Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. In full disclosure, it’s been a really long time since I read the the first batch of Shatter Me books. He is trying to balance his friendship with Juliette alongside his duties as a leader of the resistance movement against The Reestablishment.

This is the fourth companion novella to the Shatter Me series before the epic conclusion in the last full-length novel. The next novella takes place as Omega Point is preparing to oppose The Reestablishment forces on Sector 45 with a brutal assault. For those unaware, Mafi wrote the first three books and then there was a very large gap before she wrote Books 4-6.Juliette thought she would be able to kill Warner with a single touch, but his apparent immunity to her powers has shaken her.
