Fracture Me by Tahereh Mafi
2.0

There wasn't really much of a point to this. Adam's perspective is dull. There's no new information worth having. What little is new could have been added into Unravel Me easily.

There's no emotion in this. I thought that was one of Mafi's few strengths when writing, but it isn't evident in this novella. I just didn't find myself immersed in the battle or even caring about it. It's too limited in scope and limited in description. We're told Adam is horrified, but we don't see it. We're told Adam is terrified at a certain point in the action, but we don't see it, and so, I don't feel it.

This series seems pretty hit or miss to me. I gave the first book 2 stars, the first novella 4 stars, the second book 3 stars, this novella 2 stars, and from what I've read already of the third book, it's looking like a 2 star read too. I think I may be wasting my time.
