Kenji, as always, steals the show just by being him. There are a few new characters introduced, and while I’m excited to learn more about them and their backgrounds, the original characters were the true focus.
Tahereh Mafi continues to develop the characters, giving them opportunities to grow and change, and revealing more about their pasts and secrets. I swear the plot twists in this book are incredible. For the most part, this book focuses mostly on character dynamics, important politics, and dancing around secrets that will completely surprise you. The topics are handled really well and I loved seeing these important subjects discussed in such a great way. There are some great topics brought up naturally in the story that hasn’t been mentioned in the previous books, such as racism and transphobia. The plot is gripping, although while there is some action, most of the plot revolves around politics and revealing the past. “Who says you can’t be cute and kick ass at the same time?” Kenji winks at me. It brings up questions that a lot of YA dystopians just ignore, for example, how a teenage girl can run an entire country, and also further flushes out the world that Shatter Me takes place in. Told through both Juliette and Warner’s points of view, Restore Me shows the aftermath of the revolution, Juliette’s struggles to handle her new responsibilities, and the world’s response to the events of the last book. Restore Me begins right where Ignite Me left off, just a couple of weeks after the battle that left Juliette the Supreme Commander of the Reestablishment. Content warning: panic attacks, violence, death, mentions of self-harm and abuse// I will not shatter, not again, in the wake of an emotional earthquake.” I cannot revert back to another version of myself. “I cannot let the broken girl inside of me inhale all that I’ve become. I questioned if another book in the Shatter Me world was really necessary, but after reading this novel I had no doubt in my mind that this story had to be told. Review In A Nutshell: Restore Me is an amazing installment in a breathtaking series.
