Reveal Me
TAHEREH MAFI
(Book 5.5 in the Shatter Me series)
Synopsis:
This fourth companion novella to Tahereh Mafi’s New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series is narrated by fan favorite character Kenji Kishimoto!
The explosive revelations in Defy Me have left readers reeling and desperate for answers. This fourth and final novella in the series will bring readers back to the world of the Shatter Me before the final novel installment hits shelves in winter 2020.
And don’t miss Find Me, the gorgeous paperback bind-up that brings together Shadow Me and Reveal Me in print for the first time!
(I know—the description tells you absolutely nothing, but that's the official synopsis)
My rating: ★★★
Categories: YA, romance, science fiction, dystopian, other
Content:
Language: Semi-frequent use of mild language and some stronger language
Violence: Mentions and discussions of physical and emotional abuse (along with torture), human experimentation, poison, illness as a result of a drug dosage, fighting using supernatural abilities (such as strength and telekinesis).
Sex: Allusions to sex, thoughts about kissing, romantic pining, one or two almost-kiss scenes
LGBTQ: The book mentions a lesbian couple
My Review: I love Kenji so much, but we definitely needed more Nazeera x Kenji in this. This is the only novella I think you actually have to read before you read the next full-length book in the series, otherwise the beginning of Imagine Me will be even more confusing than it is. Also, I absolutely hate the cover. I have no idea why Kenji's novella is pink/purple and covered in glitter hearts (not that he couldn't pull off something similar—it just really doesn't fit with the themes and vibes of the series).
