I adored the novella from Warner's point of view, so I was interested to see how this novella from Adam's point of view would go. I've been Team Warner for a while now, so I wasn't overly excited about reading Fracture Me, but I wanted to see if it would change my mind about Adam a little bit. And...wow, it really didn't. It probably actually made me even more Team Warner, but I actually think that that might've been the point behind this novella, which is very intriguing to me. Reading this made me even more excited for Ignite Me, if that was even possible!I really liked getting to peek into Adam's relationship with his younger brother. Their back-and-forth was adorable to watch, and the connection that Adam feels towards him is absolutely heart-wrenching. Getting to see Juliette from Adam's perspective was also very, very interesting. She comes off a bit different than she does in her own perspective. Like...maybe a little crazy? Definitely unstable. It made me very curious to see how her character will develop in Ignite Me.I also really enjoyed how easily Mafi seems to be able to switch between POVs. The books from Juliette's perspective are obviously full of this beautiful, lyrical writing that is so special, and she's very introspective and thought-focused. While this novella from Adam's perspective is such a different atmosphere. It's written in very harsh, finite language compared to Shatter Me and Unravel Me, and he swears a lot inside his head! But it was such an effortless switch from these two completely different modes of writing, that I'm honestly very impressed with Mafi's talent and I find myself extremely interested to see what kind of direction she will choose to take with her writing after finishing this series.
