Imagine Me (Shatter Me # 6) - Tahereh Mafi Review

Image
Imagine Me is the last book in the Shatter Me series. I think. What was once a trilogy ended up getting another 3 books in the series so it could be possible for her to add more books in this series and I have to say I wouldn't be mad about it. While I enjoyed the first 3 books in the series, I think the series picked up for me in these last 3 books. I loved them with my entire heart! This last book was so action packed for such a short novel, at least it felt short to me. I read this book in its entirety in one day. It was just so easy to read and had me turning the pages to see what happens next. I felt like this book followed mostly Kenji's perspective even though the chapters were split evenly between Juliette and Kenji. I also fell in love with Warner even more in this book and that epilogue was everything.  I highly recommend picking up this series if you haven't already! Tahereh Mafi's writing is just so beautiful and deserves more people reading it...

The Thousandth Floor - Katharine McGee Review

Image
Set in a futuristic New York, The Thousandth Floor follows a group of teens living in a thousand story tower and their day to day lives. This read like a futuristic Gossip Girl but I did have a hard time really getting into the story. While a lot of things were happening it also felt like nothing was really happening until the last few chapters when it all went down. I found all the characters to be interesting especially Avery, the genetically perfect human and I LOVED reading about all the futuristic capabilities, hover cars and sending messages via contacts, sign me up! I know this book was mostly setting up for the other books in the series but I wished it had been a little shorter as I felt it dragged a little. I wasn't planning on picking up the other books in the series but after reading the last couple of chapters, I really wanna see where it all goes so will definitely continue on with this series.

Ignite Me (Shatter Me #3) - Tahereh Mafi Review

Image
Unravel Me ended on quite the cliffhanger. Omega Point was destroyed. Juliette almost died. Are any of the rebels even alive? Is Adam?! Juliette doesn't know but she will not stop at trying to take down the Restablishment once and for all. So much like book two I decided to read the novella that proceeds this book, Fracture Me which is told through the perspective of Adam and much like I predicted, I hate him now!! Warner for the win!! Adam is truly draining in this book. He is only really out for himself and his younger brother. He doesn't care about anyone else and I wanted to reach through the pages and punch him in the face. Seeing his actual feelings when he believes Juliette is dead is like a slap in the face. He only gets worse in Ignite Me! Like the first two books, this mainly focuses on the romance side of things and the real action of the story happens in the last few chapters and honestly ends rather abruptly in my opinion.  Had this been the real last ...

Unravel Me (Shatter Me #2) - Tahereh Mafi Review

Image
Unravel Me picks up where Shatter Me left off. Juliette and Adam have joined the group of rebels and help in fighting against the Restablishment. Juliette with the help of some new friends who she learns have powers of their own is learning to control her powers when Warner is suddenly back in the picture. I read the novella Destroy Me which follows the perspective of Warner right after the events of the first book and I truly think I would not have enjoyed Unravel Me as much as I did if I hadn't read it first. You get more insight into Warner and learn that he is not the evil dictator that you once believed he was so that when you get to chapter 62 you die of all the feels and not think umm ok where did that come from. Tahereh Mafi has a way making you hate a character and then love them in the next installment and vice versa in a way that is realistic and not have you thinking oh I suddenly have to love this character because the main character likes them or where the ...

Shatter Me - Tahereh Mafi Review

Image
Shatter Me follows Juliette, a girl whose touch is lethal and who was locked away by the Reestablishment 3 years ago. Suddenly they have changed their mind and have decided she is just what they need. A new weapon they can control. The novel is so beautifully written, full of metaphors and similes, it reads like poetry.  Tahereh Mafi does such an amazing job, you can practically feel Juliette's pain through the pages. I did feel like this novel wasn't long enough. I'm not sure how I feel about most characters, I don't feel much attachment to them yet but I assume that will change during the course of this series. I loved the story line though, or at least where I think it is going. There wasn't too much going on in this book until the end when it started to get really good so I definitely can't wait to pick up the next one and dive into the world and it's characters. I gave this 4 out of 5 stars!
