He knows he feels something for Juliette, but he’s not sure what, and he’s angry that she has gone off with Adam instead of staying with him. Warner starts to realize that he is jealous of Juliette and Adam. And I felt it then: this strange, inexplicable sense that she might be the only person in the world I could really care about. I wanted her to know me I wanted her to talk to me. But watching her talk to someone else made me crazy.

I wondered if she’d seem different if she’d shatter the expectations I’d already formed in my mind by simply having a normal conversation. I only wanted to watch her interact with someone. A dynamic character has some sort of internal struggle or turmoil, and Destroy Me allows us to see that part of Warner: There rarely is such a thing as a truly evil villain, and books that have them show such a one-dimensional character. But as we learned from Fairest, the book in The Lunar Chronicles that takes us back to Queen Levana before the main story takes place, the villain usually has a small nugget of good inside of them…but it has been warped over time. Lots of times we think of them as soulless or just purely evil. I actually liked it, because it made me understand and actually sympathize with the villain. If you haven’t read that, then yes, there might be some spoilers. This is safe to read after reading Shatter Me. I’m not too keen on novellas and rarely read them, but it was available at the library and gave me a glimpse into the workings of the supposedly evil Warner, who kidnaps Juliette to make her the ultimate weapon because her touch can kill.ītw, there’s really no “spoilers” here because this 111 page novella just gives a glimpse into what Warner does while trying to find the missing Juliette. It’s a novella set between the events of Shatter Me and Ignite Me, but from Warner’s POV (he’s the “bad guy”). The book is so short I couldn’t even put it in a “Currently Reading for Review” post.
