Unravel Me - Tahareh Mafi - 4 stars

This installment was certainly better than the first one. I was so happy about that. I liked that there was so much more action in this one as well. I can't lie, it was pretty engaging and there were some 'gasp' moments and some pretty good twists that I did not expect as well. I also enjoyed how this one ended, it pushed me a bit more towards tolerating Juliette. Please read below.

The only problem I really have with this series right now is the main character Juliette. Something about her I do not like. I realize she is a 17 year old girl trying to calm the chaos in the world and maybe therein lies the problem. She is always doubting someone or something, she gets into this 'woe is me' routine that drives me crazy. She is also a little wishy washy at times. I don't know, maybe it was the authors intention to have her portray a sniveling, just out of diapers, character, but really can we grow up a bit? There is an up to all of this though, and that is how this book ended and how everything that has happened has affected and altered Juliette's attitude hopefully towards something a little more positive. How about a strong, kick ass character, who can cause an earthquake at the drop of a dime.

Now if you are looking for a full blown out war in this book, sorry to say you don't get to witness any of that, sorry if that is a spoiler, but just trying to warn readers right from the start. Maybe that will come with the next book, who knows, I guess we just wait and see. Anyway, The focus in this book, is mostly on Juliette (oh yay) and Warner. But still I am keeping my fingers crossed as I plunge into the next book, Ignite Me
