Taylor swift songs: “lover”
I would highly recommend reading this novella! It really adds a lot to the story, as it is told from Warner’s POV before their wedding. I feel like this was a great ending to the series (I think it is the last one) but the ending to the story was left in a way that it could potentially continue. I would love to see how these characters continue on after defeating the reestablishment. I really hope there are more books, but this one was great. It was so romantic, and made me love Warner even more. And the character arcs in this are great!! I love seeing the development of Kenji and Warner’s friendship. All around, I really liked this.
This one is the spiciest of all of them. I have to say I liked it better when it wasn’t as spicy as focusing more on the emotional intimacy. I’d say it’s about a 2/5🌶️ still not too graphic but really heavily inferring what is happening. Yep, I think about as spicy as Emily Henry now. It’s way more than the other books. Side note: how do they not get pregnant? Bc I’m fairly sure the rebel group doesn’t have access to birth control.

We've finally, FINALLY come to this. The definitely-gonna-be-the-last-one FINAL book in the Shatter Me series (after 2 fake-outs already). And it's a novella (though, is 200+ pages still considered a novella?) in Warner's POV. Will we finally get the answers we crave? Will we get a satisfying ending? Or will we just get all the kissing we could ever hope for?
Read my full review at The Wolf's Den
Overall, this was a great ending that had me smiling and crying at equal intervals. There is a very steamy scene in the middle, which I was not expecting, but it's not explicit in anatomical descriptions, so I'd still say it's good for older YA. I can't say for sure that this completely redeems the last book for me, but it definitely had me feeling good, and thankful, and hopeful, and teary-eyed. And for anyone who was on the fence about another novella, this is definitely a must-read for everyone who already loves the series. Now, does anyone else wish for Mafi's next book's release date to come sooner? Cause believe me, I do!

The book does contain a sex scene, but there are no anatomical details, mainly relying on emotions and vague movements.
