Although I've been on Team Warner since the first book, I never disliked Adam because I've always thought that he's just a victim of less-than-enough characterization, but when I read this novella I think that's gonna change. I think I'll put it off until I have Ignite Me in my hands, just to be safe.Kazhy @ My Library in the Makinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02921971647844534586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349212013950544864.post-43308754361920653812014-01-01T22:04:22.704+00:002014-01-01T22:04:22.704+00:00I recently finished this short story too and wasn&...I recently finished this short story too and wasn't really a fan. It does very contradictory to who Adam was in the first book. Almost like the Author changed her mind and liked Warner more later on. Knowing this was a love triangle, I actually distanced myself from focusing on the romance. I was actually more caught up in the plot of this series.

I originally LOVED Adam, but in the second book everyone was saying how Adam came off as whiny and needy, and he definitely sounds overprotective of Juliette and like he thinks less of her. I feel Taherah is favoring Warner now and while I also love his character, I can only think of him as a really great villain as opposed to a love interest for Juliette. I've always loved Kenji's character as well, and he's definitely not afraid to tell people off when they're acting ridiculous, like he did with Adam. He sounds like he's really deserving it with how irrational he's like. >.<<br /><br />Fantastic review, Renu! <33 Have a fantastic new year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349212013950544864.post-26065597159267463272014-01-01T14:13:03.825+00:002014-01-01T14:13:03.825+00:00It seems like there is a love/hate towards this on...It seems like there is a love/hate towards this one. I only read Shatter Me and really it's been so long that I'd definitely need to reread it before I finish the series. I don't remember Adam at all. It does sound frustrating how much he's changed, though. I hate it when character "growth" feels more like a down growth if that makes sense lolz.

I haven't even read this novella, but I don't like what Tahereh Mafi is doing with Adam's character. I loved him in the first book and really don't want to have to start hating him. Also, based on the quotes you shared, he seems very out-of-character here. I'm not looking forward to the final book. :( I'll wait to see what everything thinks of it before deciding whether or not to pick it up. Thanks for the review, Renu!

I tend to like the bad boys but thought Adam was sweet and felt bad so I stayed on the fence. Well Fractured ended that..and I am firmly on Warner's team.

Anyhow, I'm team Adam, no way can I ever be team Warner, but I didn't really enjoy Shatter Me and most of my friends have said that everything turns from bad to worse and I'm honestly not in the mood for this teenage drama. Especially the kind where the love interests are a guy who most of the fandom hates and makes fun of and the mass murderer that everyone adores. I'm sorry you had so many issues with this book.

My Team Adam friends certainly are. With the way the story is going, I'm really happy that I didn't like Shatter Me all that much. I didn't know this was going to have a full-on love triangle so it was just as well because I hate love triangles. But hey, still rooting for Adam here. And even if I don't read the rest of the books, I'd still be sad if he doesn't end up with Juliette. :(Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09113611207753873326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349212013950544864.post-89905774684615406552013-12-30T21:25:40.997+00:002013-12-30T21:25:40.997+00:00Aw.

I'm not sure I will ever read the next books, because of that damn love triangle. It is the worst thing in the world and I don't get why people like it :( Sad face. That chapter whatever thing? It was the only thing I read of book two and I couldn't have hated it more. So yeah. I'm just interested in the ending of the series.. sigh. But anyway! Enough rambling from me, hih, sorry :D Anyway! I'm sorry you didn't like Fracture Me :\ Fingers crossed that book three will be better. (Though I doubt it. Sigh.)

I so loved Adam in the first book and now it seems like Warner's novella completely changed everyone's opinions about him and he's now the team everyone's on, and Adam's novella has only reinforced the new Team Warner loyalties. I'm so bummed! I wanted to stick with Adam throughout because normally once I pick a Team I stick with it, but I don't like that Adam sees Juliette as so weak. *sigh* I think maybe I need to wait until all the books are out before I read any more!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349212013950544864.post-6359295743345585052013-12-30T14:19:21.730+00:002013-12-30T14:19:21.730+00:00I am sorry you didn't enjoy this Renu :(
