Teri Terry

SLATED Trilogy: Fractured: Book 2

Nessa Luna

Read this review and more on my blog October Tune!

Before I was even finished with Slated I ordered myself a copy of Fractured because I just needed to know the rest of the story. And of course I needed to know if the second book was as good as the first. And oh my god it was! Fractured starts off almost immediately where the first book ended, with Kyla whose Levo has just become useless after beating up someone. In this story, we follow her as she tries to get her old memories back and meets people from her past. But are those people trustworthy, or are they the enemy?

First thing's first, I want to express the joy I felt while reading this book because it happens in England. I mean - and I've said this in my review of Slated as well - 90% of the Dystopia books that I've read happen in America; or 'the country that was one called America', so this story happening in England just made me really happy (like, America's not the only one who has fucked up big time).

We are introduced to some new characters in this book; one of them that was in the previous book as well, but in this book we find out more about him. First of all there was Cam(eron), who I thought was nice at the beginning - but I started to dislike him a bit further into the book. (view spoiler)[I kind of guessed he was a Lorder spy long before Kyla found out about it, and yeah it's really such a shame because he was so nice. (hide spoiler)] Then there were Nico and Katran, Nico was introduced in Slated already, but under a different name. I liked him at the beginning but like with Cam, I started to dislike him A LOT after a while. I wasn't really sure what to think about Katran, but I can say he was my favourite of the newly introduced characters.

For a while, I was afraid this book would have the start of a love-triangle (and honestly I am still afraid that might happen in the third book), but for now there wasn't really any sign of it, which just made me jump with joy. Nine out of ten times, when I really like a book, they throw in a love-triangle in the second part of the series which just ruins my mood. But ten points to Teri Terry for not doing that this time (and that, in fact, actually improved my mood a lot). Ok, I have to say there were some tiny things that I found a little predictable, but I'll forgive the author for that. (view spoiler)[Like I knew that Cam wasn't to be trusted already, and I knew that school that Ben was at was a Lorder training thing. (hide spoiler)]

The writing was still as thrilling as in the previous book, and at some points I just couldn't stop reading (which resulted in me going to bad way too late sometimes), but this series is just really one of my favourites of all time. And I deeply regret not having started it sooner. Teri Terry just managed to pull me right into the story and she also managed to never let me go. I can't wait to get my hands on the last book, Shattered, and read how Kyla's story goes on!

** spoiler alert **
           (4.25/5) 3 hours 3 minutes - I cannot decide whether I like this book better than the first one or not. It is very much a continuation of the first - in fact, if not for the fact these are separate books, I would not be able to tell where one finished and the other began, which was fine considering I am reading these back to back. I think the way Nico is written is pretty well done - sometimes the manipulation is a little too conspicuous, but for the most part he takes the role he is meant to, of a cold, careful puppet-master. Despite this being a reread, it has been years, so the twists and turns were not predictable for me. In fact, there was one at the end which really left me feeling how the main character felt in that moment - betrayed. The ending of this book was also better than the last one, leaving it on a good cliff-hanger which isn't just confusing. However, at earlier points in this book, I found it a bit too slow at times, so overall I think it evens out to be about on par with the first book.

I liked this book, it's not my favourite, but it was good. There is a lot of twists and turns especially near the end. I thought it was a bit slow at the beginning, but started to keep me on the edge more towards the end.

I don't know where to begin with this review. I was so disappointed with this book.

I feel like it was all over the place with Kyla/Rain/Lucy's three personas. And so many questions unanswered from Slated that I thought Fractured would've answered but of course, that didn't happen. On top of all this, I felt like the book was jumpy. It didn't transition from one scene to another.

I'm just really disappointed!!!
