Destroy Me by Tahereh Mafi - the review

I just finished Destroy me by Tahereh Mafi and I have to write a review on it right now because my brain will forget everything that I want to say about this book. As always. But to prevent this, I made notes on my iPod regarding this book and now I can write about what I thought about the book.

Ze notes.

Now on to the review!

Rating: ★★★★☆

We left Shatter Me with Juliette in the Omega Point, where there are other people like her. Not people who can kill you with one single tough of the hand, but with superpowers. On the other hand, Warner, who is the "ruthless leader of Sector 45", who recently got shot in the arm by Julitte, is trying to survive the shot.

Back at the base and recovering from his near-fatal wound, Warner must do everything in his power to keep his soldiers in check and suppress any mention of a rebellion in the sector. Still as obsessed with Juliette as ever, his first priority is to find her, bring her back, and dispose of Adam and Kenji, the two traitors who helped her escape. But when Warner’s father, The Supreme Commander of The Reestablishment, arrives to correct his son’s mistakes, it’s clear that he has much different plans for Juliette. Plans Warner simply cannot allow.

My first thoughts after starting this book were that the writing could've been done better. I understand that it's a novella and it should be like this, but I probably just expected more.
After like 20 pages it all got better because I got used to Warner's voice. I also thought that Warner's father is an asshole. He's a cruel sanavabyatch. He reminds me of someone which I will not talk about (not my dad. My dad is awesome.).
Warner seems a bit obsessed with Juliette and very jealous of her power. But not in the bad kind. He doesn't want to have her power to exactly kill people. He loves Julette or the idea of her. He sounds somehow kinky about the way he loves her, because there are some parts of the book in which he has dreams about her and in one of them he seems just driven to get her, to put it like this.
We find out in the novella that Juliette misjudged Warner and that he's an adorable little shit! He doesn't want the bad of people. There's a part in Shatter me in which he kills a dude in his army called Seamus Fletcher and no one had any idea why. In this novella we find out that he killed him because he was beating his wife and kids constantly and spending their money on food or alcohol only for him, so Warner killed him, but his father killed the wife and kids of Seamus Fletcher because of what Seamus did. Warner didn't actually like that and he was annoyed by that but he can't do anything about his father cuz he's jackass.
At the end he was playing with a dog! HE WAS PLAYING WITH A DOG!! He went to the area where Juliette, Adam and Kishimoto disappeared to look around. And a very skinny dog came to him lolling and Warner took it in his arms and gave him something to eat and THAT WAS SO FUCKING CUTE! After that he took the dog into an empty house so he isn't seen by any people, let alone his father, and that was cute as hell! He also has some pride issues. He doesn't want anyone to find out about the dog, nor does he want to be heard that he's actually in love with Juliette. I thought that was a bit prude because if he weren't like this he could've stood up for a lot of things, like the safety of the people. But it's also the fact that his father would've destroyed everything that he wanted to save, like, if he found out that he loves Juliette, he would've killed her immediately.
I loved this book. I loved the fact that it was told from Warner's perspective and that it was an insight in what Warner really is. It's really a good book. I hated the fact that it ended SO abruptly! I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT! That's the main reason this got 4.5 stars (it's actually 4.5). This novella should've been written better and to be written more in it because there are important stuff in this book!I have not read the next book yet, but I will! I cannot wait to jump into the next book because I've heard it's awesome and way better than this.

This is probably my longest review yet, and the review I'm most proud of. I cannot wait to write more reviews on books I read because I kinda like writing these reviews, even if my last 3 reviews were horrible and that will never happen again.

Goodbye,
E.
