Pleasantly surprising
✶✶✶✶ / 5 𝔰𝔱𝔞𝔯𝔰 ꔫ So, we’re all gathered here because of Warner, right? Anyway, moving on. I honestly wasn’t expecting to like this new series as much as I did, it’s hard to stand in your own spotlight when the original spotlight is on THE Shatter Me series, but this book did a really good job. We’re back and better than ever, and reading about 30-year-old Warner healed something in me I didn’t know was broken. This book almost felt like a novella at times, though. The story is meant to be about James and Rosa, yet not much happens at the start, and it feels a bit strange to experience the resistance from Rosa’s perspective, but that also made for a genuinely interesting angle. It kind of feels like the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes of this series, without actually being a prequel, if that makes sense. Speaking of prequels, I need a story about how the Shatter Me world came together before Warner and Juliette. I know we found out a lot in the Shatter Me Series but I want a first person POV! I’d honestly be more excited for that than the next generation, sorry! Kenji was HILARIOUS, as always. I was a bit disappointed about him and you know who, but I guess it was inevitable. I also loved seeing James talk about his view of everything that happened in the Shatter Me books, and his relationship with Warner. You know what they say: a man who yearns is a man who earns, and James definitely took a leaf out of his older, blonde-haired brother’s book. I’m pleasantly surprised to say that I am so excited for the next instalment!

STUNNING absolutely loved the book and cover.
This book is incredible. The plot will leave you gasping and shuddering. The character build is amazing and I adore the cover, the covers on Mafis books are always absolutely stunning. This is a beautiful enemies to lovers book and I hope there will be more as it finished on a cliffhanger. Would highly recommend for lovers of Shatter me, Skyshade and Red queen.

Good book, but glue on it
Haven’t read it yet but the book itself is in good condition. Pleased with it and the cover is very pretty. Slight damage to one corner. Only concern (and I have attached an image) is that a part of the seal on the parcel has gotten glued to the dust cover and won’t come off.

Highly recommend
Watch Me- the first installment of The New Republic trilogy. Set ten years after the fall of The Reestablishment, this novel follows two protagonists—Rosabelle Wolff, assassin haunted by loss, and James Anderson, the younger half-brother of Aaron Warner, driven by a risky mission and a need to prove himself. Watch Me invites you back into a world where love, surveillance, and resistance dangerously intertwine. It was emotional and much-needed return to places and characters I truly adored. I am not gonna lie, I hoped to read more about Arron and Juliette but T.Mafi is such an amazing author and it was really hard for me to put the book aside anyway. (Not to mention I am a big fan of strong, female characters👌). Perfectly balanced slow-burn and enemies-to-lovers, interesting characters, complex, intriguing world. If You are a fan of the Shatter Me series I highly recommend entering the New Republic chapter.

I read the entire Shatter me series last year and it was frustrating that I had to wait since November (when I read “Believe Me”) to read the next book in this incredible dystopian universe. Every page, every chapter, every freaking damn word was brilliant, perfect, necessary. And it has felt like bring back this story that has been stuck in my mind and heart since I began it more than a year ago. “HAPPY RELEASE DAY FOR WATCH ME!” says my mind, even knowing I won’t find out how the story continues until spring 2026…
