Shatter Me Series Box Set: Shatter Me, Unravel Me, Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi
4.0
I’d heard raves and gushes about this book. I’d heard that Mafi could write some sexy tension. I was not prepared for how haunting this book was. I wanted to wrap Juliette up in a hug and stroke her hair. I wondered what inspired Mafi to create a character that is so tortured. Juliette has a curse. Her touch kills. This has sentenced her to a life without touch and a life without friends or love. Her parents even reject her. Even though she is utterly alone, she goes above and beyond to do right and be a friend though no one will ever reciprocate. I couldn’t put it down. Page after page, I had to see Juliette out of her bleak existence. Please.
Her opportunity comes at the hands of Warner. He has plans for her. I loved that Juliette saw his offer and him for what they are. He wants to control her and use her as a weapon of torture. Maybe with her on his side, he could rise even further in The Reestablishment. Though his character is interesting and complicated, he is very easy to hate. I really can’t wrap my brain around the idea that there is a Team Warner. Maybe more will be revealed as I read on.
This dystopian world reminds me of V is for Vendetta. It is one where fear is the tool of choice to keep everyone in line from some mysterious disease. Shatter Me reveals the fear and only gives you a small glimpse into the world beyond the compound walls. I look forward to Unravel Me, so I can get a good look at the state of the world beyond. And I am excited about the rebellion brewing.
Adam. He is sensitive and seeing wrapped in the armor of a bad boy. His story is almost as heart-breaking as Juliette’s. Even more their tangled past and his devotion to protect people who are important him, had me melting with every moment he was on the page. He reminded me of a mix of Chase from Article 5 and Dean from Hopeless. Give me MORE Adam. You know how I love stories where the characters have a shared past. Love it.
Unravel Me will make it to the top of my pile sooner rather than later. I have to see what Mafi’s imagination has in store and I hope that her supernatural rebels bring down The Reestablishment.
Shatter Me will tear you apart.
Audio re-read. Narrator nails it. Juliette is perfectly caring and cautious. Warner is cocky and conniving & Adam is firm and resolute. The cross outs are kind of odd, but you get used to it.
