Shatter Me Trilogy

By: Tahereh Mafi

I have a curse
I have a gift

I am a monster
I'm more than human

My touch is lethal
My touch is power

I am their weapon
I will fight back

Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.

The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.

The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.

Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.

time for war.

Juliette has escaped to Omega Point. It is a place for people like her—people with gifts—and it is also the headquarters of the rebel resistance.

She's finally free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch.

Or from Warner, who wants Juliette more than she ever thought possible.

In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart—and Adam's life.

The heart-stopping conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series, which Ransom Riggs, bestselling author of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, called “a thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and forbidden love.”

With Omega Point destroyed, Juliette doesn’t know if the rebels, her friends, or even Adam are alive. But that won’t keep her from trying to take down The Reestablishment once and for all. Now she must rely on Warner, the handsome commander of Sector 45. The one person she never thought she could trust. The same person who saved her life. He promises to help Juliette master her powers and save their dying world . . . but that’s not all he wants with her.

The Shatter Me series is perfect for fans who crave action-packed young adult novels with tantalizing romance like Divergent by Veronica Roth, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and Legend by Marie Lu. Tahereh Mafi has created a captivating and original story that combines the best of dystopian and paranormal, and was praised by Publishers Weekly as “a gripping read from an author who’s not afraid to take risks.” Now this final book brings the series to a shocking and satisfying end.

Reviews

Shatter Me

  • Lauren’s Review: 5 stars

    • I loved the way this book was written!!! The author is so gifted with metaphors and just brings out emotions with her style of writing.

  • Rya’s Review: 4.5 stars

    • I loved the way the author wrote these books. The way she described things in the book was so cool and breathtaking and you could imagine yourself there. “I wonder about raindrops. I wonder about how they’re always falling down, tripping over their own feet, breaking their legs and forgetting their parachutes as they tumble right out of the sky towards an uncertain end. It’s like someone emptying their pockets over Earth and doesn’t seem to care where the contents fall, doesn’t seem to care that the raindrops burst when they hit the ground, that they shatter when they fall to the floor, that the people curse the days the drops dare to tap on their doors.” (Shatter Me, Tahereh Mafi, Page 5) This book is perfect for the readers that love romance, adventure, and fantasy because Juliet is a girl whose touch is lethal and falls in love with a boy, Adam, that is the only person in the world she can touch without killing him. This first book has a lot of romance, but also an equal amount of action and dystopian all wrapped into one fantastics book.

  • Aria’s Review: 5 stars

    • I love love love love LOVEDDDDDD this book so much it is like half of my entire brain. Everything from the beautiful poetic way that Mafi writes, to the amazing content and engrossing story line, my neck hurt from reading for so many hours straight. I finished this  series in a matter of days, and these books were my escape from the stressful world of Middle School.

Unravel Me

  • Rya’s Review: 4 Stars:

    • I thought that Unravel Me was the worst out of all the Shatter Me Trilogy books, Not to say that it was bad book, it was amazing, it’s just that the other two books in the series, Shatter Me and Ignite Me, were so amazing. It is important to read this book though, because it has so many important parts to it that you would have no idea what is going on in Ignite Me if you didn’t read this book. The ending of this book was also so good and cliff-hanger-ish that you have to make sure you have the third book with you before you finish the second book. This is one of my favorite series in the world and even though this isn’t the best book out of the three, it definitely is the most dramatic and filled with the romance of a heart that is split in two directions. DO NOT not read this book because I said it was the worst out of all the Shatter Me books, because when you do read this great book, you get to reward yourself with the amazingness of Ignite Me, the finale of the Shatter Me series.

  • Aria’s Review: 4 Stars

    • This book was a sort of bridge between the other two, as the action was at kind of a plateau. (Spoiler: Juliette is torn between Warner and Adam, but I was SO team Warner)

  • Katy's Review: 5 Stars

    • This book amazed me.

      The style of writing blows my mind. 

      And I thought Shatter Me was good.

      But Unravel Me blew me away. 

      And the ending!!!!!!

      In the beginning, Juliette kind of annoyed me because she wasn't even trying to fit in at Omega Point and she didn't really care about anyone but herself and Adam. Eventually, after messing up a few times, she finally got it. Then Warner comes in and proves he is human 
      (a.k.a. the scene with the dog. ) And then they capture Warner and it gets even more crazy! (By this point I am starting to like Warner way more than Adam.) And then some really crazy stuff happened at the end. 
       Overall Thoughts: WOW

Ignite Me

  • Lauren’s Review: 5 stars☆

    • I think that this was my favorite book in the series. I don't even understand why it's so amazing. It just is.

  • Rya’s Review: 5 Stars

    • SPOILER ALERT!!! IGNITE ME WAS AMAZING!!! For me, I can tell if a book was good if I don’t want it to end. I DIDN’T WANT THIS BOOK TO END!!! Warner and Juliett ended up together in the end even though they had to battle their differences and learn to love each other. I loved that Warner had never had any intent to hurt Juliett, only the intent to defeat his father who was controlling and ruining his life. He and Juliett joined forces and defeated his father and Warner became the ruler of Ignite Me and promised to rule peacefully with Juliett and the other people with special powers at his side. I hope that in that land, Warner and Juliett get married and have kids and they live happily ever after and that Juliett’s kids have special powers that make them more unique than their parents and they never have to deal with the evil people again and Warner can start reading and writing books to replenish the sector of books once again.

  • Katy's Review: 5 Stars

    • Ignite Me was such a perfect ending to the series! I love how Juliette develops as a character. At the beginning of the series, she is not sure of herself and is constantly bursting into tears. But by the end, Juliette is a strong female lead. For the whole series, I've been thinking: please end up with (Spoiler)Warner at the end, please end up with Warner in the and so chapter 55 was very satisfying :) By Unravel Me, I was so done with Adam. He really didn't understand Juliette or who she was becoming.

      The other characters in this series are also brilliantly written, especially Kenji and James. Even though Kenji might seem completely happy and light-hearted on the outside, he really has a lot more going on inside. Also, James is like the nicest 10 year old ever! Over all, this series is fantastic and I will definitely have to read it again.

      Overall thoughts: 
      -Warner=:)
      -#characterdevelpoment
      -Taherah Mafi is an amazing writer
