It's over. What do I do now?! I knew I'd have withdrawal symptoms but I just couldn't slow down the reading.
It's just one of those series I find at random and go into it not really knowing what to expect. And then I love it and enjoy it so much and devour it too soon.

4.5/5
I started this on a whim and I really liked it. It was one of those books that I had no idea what to expect. It could have gone either way really, either I'd have loved it or hated it.
Some things still aren't clear and certainly it isn't a masterpiece but I enjoyed reading it a lot so it deserves my stars (LOL)
It's addictive, let me tell you. Overall an unpretencious story perfect for binging. On to the next one!
The first time I read this was back in 2014, the italian translation. I gave it 3 stars, and in fact it's what I'd give it again. Except for the fact The first time I read this was back in 2014, the italian translation. I gave it 3 stars, and in fact it's what I'd give it again. Except for the fact that now I know the rest of the series, I loved it back then and I'm hit with nostalgia. Besides I always prefer the original. And furthermore, the next book in the series (the novella #1.5 "Destroy Me") was the first book I ever read in English, driven by the need to know what happened next. And it's also the first book I ever re-read. So, it holds a dear place in my heart.
That said, I'm giving it 4 stars (not 5 because I still need to differenciate with the others, which I liked more).
I'm eager to finish the re-read of the series and I can't wait for the new book. [image]...more
The rereading adventure continues, though slower because it's a bit more boring than what I remembered I think, unfortunately. Oh, well.
Maybe at the The rereading adventure continues, though slower because it's a bit more boring than what I remembered I think, unfortunately. Oh, well.
Maybe at the time I didn't notice a lot of clichés like I do now.
Also, I find frustrating the constant reminders of the plot and situations etc. I understand it's helpful when a lot of time passes between the reading of the books, but when you read them one after the other it's annoyng, boring and it distracts me from the story. I think this bothered me even the first time I read them.
That said, I still think fondly of the story and I'm enjoying rereading it, just not as much as I had thought. Nevertheless, I'm going to finish them, also because I want to read the other two that I hadn't read.
I thought that I haven't read them because I didn't know they existed, now I'm beginning to think that I grew bored and stopped after the fourth book.
But, slowly but surely, I'll finish them this time.

Then a while ago I reread the entire Shatter Me series and now I can't stop rereading things LOL
Anyway, lately this series's been coming to my mind, and I thought about rereading it sometime. When I read it, years ago, I thought there were only four books. I don't even know why I was convinced of this for so long. Then recently I discovered that there are two more books. A reread was mandatory at this point. Fate and all.
As for the book, it was as I remembered. Of course there are some flaws, but since I was feeling nostalgic while reading it, I couldn't pinpoint them.
Overall I enjoyed it, but most of all I can't wait read the rest of the books :)

Despite being this the last book I read of this series, thus the most recent one, it's the one I remembered the least about. In fact I vaguely remembered a cave of sorts and that was it. It must be because this was (and is) my least favorite of the first three, but I mean, I still love it.
Now I'm finally gonna read the last book! The knowledge of having more of the story to read for the first time excites me.
I also dread the end, and maybe that's why I put it off the first time. I won't make the same mistake now. Afterall, I reread them just for this.

I like this kind of writing, I don't know why. It makes me feel immersed in the story and in the world. The little descriptive details of the heat and summer made me feel hot and warm myself, and it's winter. I don't remember if I fully appreciated the writing back when I first read them (four years ago), since, like I mentioned in the review of the first book, english is not my first language and at the time I had just stared to read in english.
Also, I absolutely loved, now as well as then, the dream aspect. I love dreaming, especially when I make lucid dreams, those are the best. And wouldn't it be nice if we could take things from our dreams? Fun fact, when I was a kid I used to wake several times from a dream where I was holding some kind of thing, like a flower, a toy etc. and I still remember the confusion and then the disappointment and sadness that I hadn't actually brought it with me for real. I still tried every time though.
Wow I didn't realize it's been four years since I first read it.
I decided it was time to finish this series by reading the last book. I thought about Wow I didn't realize it's been four years since I first read it.
I decided it was time to finish this series by reading the last book. I thought about reading summaries for the previous books since it's been years since I read them, but then I decided against it.
I used to think I didn't like rereading books, but it turns out I like it. At least for books read a long time ago, whose details I've forgotten.
That being said, I really enjoyed it again this time around. I think I can appreciate the writing more now, since english is not my first language and at the time I had just stared to read in english. Also, I can't decide if some things should have been obvious already the first time I read it and I was just dumb or if they seemed obvious now that I knew them beforehand.

I'm so glad I reread this entire series, it's my absolute favourite. I don't deny the nostalgia factor and the memories of the emotions I had while reading it for the first time. I can't be sure if I would have liked it as much if I had read it now for the first time, at the very least I think I'd have critiqued something, maybe. Maybe not, who cares.
I'm torn between being super excited for the new books (I've wanted more of this story for so long!) and scared they'll ruin my favorite series of all time thus tarnishing my good memories of the original trilogy.

Now I know that I like the third one more than the others, so I would wanna give it 4.5 stars, just to differenciate them. But I believe I can't give different stars based on the different reads (not sure), so I'll leave the 5 stars I gave it back then....more
