Review: Ignite Me (Shatter Me #3) – Tahereh Mafi

Review: Ignite Me (Shatter Me #3) – Tahereh Mafi

Ignite Me inspired me, so my review will be a poem, an acrostic poem to share with you, this way, I won’t spoil anything at all but still show my undivided appreciation of the beautiful prose, the character growth and the incredible story. Ignite Me is strong, yet not sure Graceful, ruthless and full of fight Nurtured and loved Incredibly steamy, and lovely as hell Trustworthy, flippant and new Extremely ready for change Meaningful and full of heart Entangled for life and beyond Ignite Me is a beautiful ending to a beautiful trilogy, and even if my little poem can’t do it justice, I just felt like writing something in a different kind of prose as a kind of dedication […]

Review: Unravel Me (Shatter Me #2) – Tahereh Mafi

Review: Unravel Me (Shatter Me #2) – Tahereh Mafi

Unravel Me picks up just after Shatter Me finished, and Juliette has a little bit of trouble fitting in. After being shunned for so long, and then in isolation for years, she feels as if everybody is just waiting for her to screw up so they can throw her out in the cold again. She can’t believe there is truly somewhere she can belong, and when Adam starts acting strangely, she thinks it is truly the beginning of the end. When Castle tells Juliette she has to take the first step, and make some friends, she wonders how he can be so smart, and yet so naive all at the same time. Adam is really happy to be at Omega […]

Review: Destroy Me (Shatter Me #1.5) – Tahereh Mafi

Review: Destroy Me (Shatter Me #1.5) – Tahereh Mafi

Destroy Me picks up right after Shatter Me, and it is all written in Warner’s point of view. If you haven’t read my review, you don’t know that I really hated Warner in Shatter Me – he hardly even seemed human. A stone-cold heart, only using others to get more power, killing people on a whim, wanting to use Juliette against her own will… I could go on and on. Then, I picked up Destroy Me, and wow. I realized that Warner might have a soul, that the way he is now has everything to do with the way he was raised, and that while he first wanted to use Juliette for nefarious reasons, he actually fell in love with […]

Review: Shatter Me (Shatter Me #1) – Tahereh Mafi

Review: Shatter Me (Shatter Me #1) – Tahereh Mafi

Shatter Me is a complicated story about Juliette who can kill just by touching someone. Everybody is afraid of her, so afraid that she has been put in an asylum, completely isolated from other people, the world, fresh air and sanity. To survive, Juliette writes in her little notebook every day. She counts the cracks in the wall. She counts the seconds she is awake – sitting very still in a corner while holding on to herself. She misses human interaction, wonders if she still knows how to form words. Juliette can’t understand why she is being kept alive – she is sure death would be much better than her non-life at this point. Until one day, another bed is […]
