There was honestly no need for this book/series. I would’ve been happier staying delusional, believing that Juliette and Aaron finally got their happy ending after getting married, peacefully living in the house Juliette lovingly renovated for them, having kids and finally receiving the love and peace they always deserved as children. But no, none of that happens.The terrible things James reveals that Aaron and Juliette went through completely broke my heart. Especially what happens to Juliette, like seriously, can someone please just let that girl live in peace already? And Tahereh’s recent comment about more painful things coming in this series makes me even more terrified. I’ll admit I’m being biased, but I only truly care about Aaron and Juliette, and it hurts knowing they’ll suffer again in this spin-off too.Now coming to the plot. Tahereh did create an interesting base for this new spin off series. There were some surprising moments and reveals, but most of the book felt very slow and boring. That said, some of the revelations will leave you speechless. The new villains and characters add some excitement and it will be interesting to see how things develop. But overall, this book mainly focuses on James explaining what happened in 10 years after The Reestablishment fell. It also revolves around Rosabelle, who works for The Reestablishment 2.0 who plans to attack The New Republic.Unfortunately, the book moved at a slow pace and was honestly hard to finish, mostly because the new main characters were just not interesting. I’m sorry, but no one can match Aaron and Juliette, and it felt like Tahereh recycled a lot of their storyline for James and Rosabelle.Speaking of the main characters, let’s talk about them. I couldn't believe how quickly James and Rosabelle were attracted to each other, even in such dangerous situations. There was no real buildup to their love story, it felt forced and way too sudden. James sadly reminded me a lot of Adam. It felt like Tahereh was trying to make him Aaron 2.0, but it didn’t work at all. People expected him to be a mix of Aaron and Kenji, but that’s definitely not the case. James came off as a young, immature guy who couldn’t function without guidance. He was quick-tempered, yelled a lot and kept throwing tantrums. He literally put his entire family in danger because of his reckless decisions, but somehow still had time to think about kissing and sleeping with Rosabelle like a teenager? You’re 21 James, and you keep saying you were raised by Aaron Warner Anderson? Really?! As for Rosabelle, her backstory felt like a mix of Aaron, Juliette and Adam’s trauma. I felt bad for her at first, but eventually it all became too much. There was nothing new or original about her character.What I did love were the scenes with the original characters. It was so nice to read about them again. I absolutely loved Aaron and Juliette’s moments and honestly, I want more. I really hope we get a novella or even a full book from their POV. They’ve clearly been through a lot in these 10 years and I want to read about it in detail, especially Juliette’s pregnancy.Also, Kenji and Nazeera’s breakup came out of nowhere. But maybe it means they’ll get their own book and if they do, then I definitely want one for Aaron and Juliette too!Even though this book was disappointing, I’ll still continue the series, only because I want to know what happens with Aaron, Juliette and their unborn baby. Tahereh, please don’t let anything bad happen to them!!

The cover is absolutely gorgeous. Edges are beautiful. I replaced the one I got yesterday since it was slightly damaged on the front.I can't wait to read the story now!!

Really good but ofc nothing beats Aaron and Juliette also loved kenji in this book James is fun too. Book came in great condition buy it if u liked shatter me
