I NEED more of kenji and nazeera man😭

[Irmak ☾ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kenji Kishimoto is a gem that needs to be protected, we don’t deserve him.

I also DIED when he kept calling Juliette “Jello.”

[Isa Cantos (Crónicas de una Merodeadora) · Rating 4 out of 5]

“I’m trying to contain something beyond myself. It’s wild. Desire like I’ve never known it before”.

Find Me, al igual que lo fue Unite Me en su momento, es la compilación de dos novellas cortas con las que Tahereh Mafi une los libros principales de la saga. Shadow Me y Reveal Me tienen como protagonista a Kenji, uno de los mejores personajes de toda esta serie y al que muchas personas, incluso sus propios compañeros, lo toman por sentado. Pero Kenji es mucho más que el bromista y el chico cuya personalidad puede iluminar hasta los más oscuros momentos. Detrás de su fachada se esconde mucho dolor y amo que Tahereh Mafi le haya dedicado estas dos historias a él.

En cada uno de los registros de Goodreads pueden encontrar mis reseñas individuales para los relatos, pero, por lo pronto, les dejo la calificación que le puse a cada uno.

Shadow Me: ★★★★★
Reveal Me: ★★★★☆

I now have so much more respect for authors who do great multiple POVs. I also appreciate them much more for publishing novellas in between their books. They give us so much more clarity. The only reason this doesn’t get 5 stars is because I felt too much of the same scenes were repeated here. I would have preferred more of what I didn’t see to be featured.

I am totally convinced that Kenji would be a Swiftie in real life 🤞🏻<3

kenji kishimoto the man that you are

[rashmi (hiatus) · Rating 5 out of 5]

i love this book. its actually so amazing and kenji and nazeera are so fucking amazing and cute together. i was so disappointed with their romance in the books but this novella was the best

[Monica · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kenji deserves the world and these two novels just proved it.

[Monica · Rating 3 out of 5]

Mucho más cortas de lo que deseaba, pero saber sobre Warner es tan valioso, que unas pocas palabras saben a gloria.

Shadow Me

I think that's pretty obvious that I love Kenji so I really enjoyed reading his pov. Especially the first few pages were just perfect. I liked that we got to see more of his past and how much he cares about the people around him, he's such a sweetheart. 4 ⭐

Reveal Me

Kenji is such a sweethear and he cares so deeply about James! I just want him to find the happiness we deserves with Nazeera. I just love him! 4 ⭐

[LW · Rating 4 out of 5]

Kenji is such a sweetheart, and it was cool to read more from his perspective.

But that cliffhanger was just plain cruel! Now I really need Imagine Me.

[Joana ♡ · Rating 2 out of 5]

well… I read it.

Felt a bit unnecessary. Still love Kenji but this just didn’t add much to the overall story.

i <3 kenji

[Hannah · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read on vacation. Will update with a better review once I feel better - very sick right now. Sorry.

[Olha · Rating 4 out of 5]

Перші дві новели спочатку не сподобались взагалі (потім я змінила свою думку про першу так точно), тому ще думала чи читати ці, але ура)) тут пішло цікавіше і реально щось нове. Ще й в обох пов Кенджі, він такий класний 🤩

Kenji is an icon

[Emma · Rating 3 out of 5]

*** This review contains spoilers for both novellas that are in this bind-up ***

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟 (3/5 stars).

I feel like I have been such a fan of the shatter me for such a long time and like somehow I read this newer trilogy (or like the newer books) when my life is always messed up and family drama is around. Haha, somehow that happened again when I read this book. I always knew I wanted to read this when both short stories were out and before the last book in this series came out. And that what I did. I will have some thoughts about both short stories down below.

Thoughts about Shadow Me:
Kenji's point of view was cute but in all honesty his novella was kind of pointless😂 I am intrigued about Nouria now and Kenji officially has re-invoked my sympathy for Adam. Also, I will always and forever think Kenji is such a real chaotic bi disaster and it's so sad to hear that my puppy bear is struggling with his mental health too. Oh and I still love Warner to death.

Thoughts about Reveal Me:
I liked this second novella so much more than the first one. I also somehow didn´t know this one would be from Kenji´s point of view too so I was really shocked (and happy) when I found I would get more of Kenji. I truly felt bad for the sweetest puppy Kenji and I also somehow completely forgot Nouria was Castle´s daughter. I am still not sure how I feel about Kenji´s budding romance with Nezeera. I am not hating it but I am also not liking it. Warner and Juliette are still absolutely the cutest and I barely could handle them. ALSO THANK YOU KENJI FOR CARING ABOUT BOTH ADAM AND JAMES, LIKE I WAS SCREAMING TOO THAT THEY WEREN´T THERE. Also what the actual fuck happened at the end. Tahereh Mafi you simply just can´t end your novella like that. SERIOUSLY YOU CAN´T, IT DESTROYED ME. I actually thought this one was pretty good unlike the previous one (Shadow me which was really pointless and unnecessary). Also, my puppy, the sweetest, the babe Kenji really deserves ALL THE HAPPINESS. AND MY POOR BABY! I REALLY CARE ABOUT YOU! Lol, I don´t really care that much about Juliette anymore since I think her character kind of got butchered in the last few books and now I am basically still reading it for Warnette, Warner, Kenji & James content. Also, I am actually liking and caring for Adam again. I don´t think he deserved the hate he got.

I am truly not ready for this series to end again. I might not love the newer books as much as I love the OG books but I still really enjoy them. I honestly cannot wait to read Imagine Me but I am also terrified to read this. I thought the first novella was kind of pointless and didn´t really do anything but I have to say the second one was really good and pretty important to read. Haha, my advice would be skip reading Shadow Me and simply read Reveal Me.

a novella purely in kenji pov, I won in life

[marioncoin | coin.reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

j’ai adoré en savoir plus sur kenji il est tellement attachant pitié il mérite d’être heureux

encore une fois que de rebondissements, vivement le tome 6 !

merci aux éditions Michel Lafon pour l’envoi 🫶🏻

[Alaina · Rating 2 out of 5]

Find Me is all from Kenji's POV and eh it was okay. Don't get me wrong Kenji is completely and utterly lovable. Sometimes just likable. It's just that this novella did nothing for me.

Here me out though, it was from scenes that I just didn't care about in the previous book. So for me, I didn't see the point of going through everything again just to get Kenji's POV. I would've liked something to happen behind the scenes that I had no idea about instead. Then I probably would've liked diving into this novella but right now, it just felt pointless.

[Joke Duprez · Rating 4 out of 5]

Someone please give Kenji a hug that lasts for hours 🥺

[Jaime · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’m going to rate these novellas separately.

Shadow Me - I’d say between a 2 and 2.5. I do enjoy seeing things from Kenji’s perspective. I just felt it was too much repetition from book 4. I didn’t want to reread all of those chapters again, with a slightly different perspective.

Reveal Me - I’d give a solid 4 stars. This one had new material from Kenji’s perspective. It also showed a lot of Kenji’s quirky personality, which I really enjoyed. He just cracks me up. I loved when he came up with a bunch of different names for Juliette/Ella.
