Release Me by Tahereh Mafi is an intensely gripping novella and the second installment in the Shatter Me: The New Republic young adult dystopian spin-off series, expanding the beloved universe with a powerful, fast-paced format.
Told through the distinct, shifting perspectives of Rosabelle, James, and Warner, the story plunges readers straight back into a fracturing world ten years after the fall of the original Reestablishment. The narrative follows an elite, tight-lipped enemy assassin who is fiercely determined to seek fierce revenge against the remaining government forces in a desperate, high-stakes mission to rescue her captive sister.
Rosabelle relies heavily on her unique ability to completely deaden her mind and body to survive the brutal surveillance state, but her forced isolation begins to crack when she is thrown into a volatile partnership with James. As they navigate deep political intrigue and lingering threats, her icy, carefully constructed emotional defenses begin to rapidly unwrap. This vulnerability not only threatens to expose her deadliest secrets to a highly suspicious Aaron Warner, but it also risks igniting a chaotic chain of events that could completely upend the fragile peace of the entire New Republic.
