Although he is protective of Juliette and would risk himself and give up his life for her, he knows she can take care of herself and respects how strong and powerful she is. He has full confidence in her and reminds her how capable she is all the time. Everyone gets a happy ending. (obviously not the bad guys lol). By happy ending, I don’t mean everything is perfect, but I am saying that almost everyone gets what they wanted (everyone meaning the good characters). Also, although there was one big main goal that was shared, everyone still had specific things they wanted, which eventually happened. Juliette has never fought for herself before. But when she's reunited with the one person who ever cared about her, she finds a strength she never knew she had. Chiaramente continuerò la lettura solo per Warner e per scoprire cos’è successo mentre Juliette vestiva i soliti panni d’imbranata cronica. Ci sono una barca di errori di correzione di bozza. Virgole mancanti, punti fermi mancanti – tanto che una volta ho trovato l’inizio con la maiuscola senza la chiusura della frase precedente – frasi che s’interrompono senza i tre puntini o anche il trattino, doppi spazi a morire e spazi anche prima dell’inizio di un paragrafo. Ho letto la versione della trilogia intera, non i libri singoli, e capisco che sia un’edizione da poco ma, insomma… un po’ di attenzione in più non avrebbe guastato.
There’s some comedic relief thanks to the character Kenji. His character is pretty funny and almost every interaction he and Warner have made me smile. (It’s not because they get along though teehee). Avviene un evoluzione incredibile del suo personaggio, più forte, deciso e consapevole, nulla a che vedere con l’immagine precedente di lei.
So much action, finally, FINALLY badass and strong Juliette, so much Warner (though I have to admit I was kind of sad that he's really just a good guy in disguise and that Juliette made him so much less cool).
Did not wow me, the plot pulled me in but romance fuels me and I really wasnt feeling adam or warner. Adam was so boring it was deadly, nothing about their relationship was original and he was SO clingy. Warner was the worst person to ever live and when I heard everyone saying he was the 'booktok it boy' I wasnt expecting him to be like.. that. The plot was pretty good, I was pulled in with the main character being seen as 'insane.' We are so thrilled to present to you… THE SHATTER ME DELUXE SET, brought to you in collaboration with @ tahereh and @ electricmonkeybooks!By the way, Juliette's powers? Very, very cool. I'm not keen on touching people anyway but having superpowers? Hell yes! I still think the writing at the beginning of the book was intriguing and clever, the issue is Mafi dropped the charade too easily. Juliette, in all rights, should be insane, or at the very least, she should have severe PTSD and attachment issues. She had zero healthy relationships as a kid, she didn't get the motherly nurturing and physical affection children need, she didn't have friends to develop social skills, she was in solitary confinement without seeing another human for almost an entire year—as a TEENAGER. She had to shower in the dark and eat gross food. I assumed, since it was so played up at the beginning of the first book, that she was going to have mental health struggles. Like her sanity would genuinely come into question. I thought that was going to be one of her obstacles. It really wasn’t. And maybe Mafi planned on fleshing out her mental problems in the later books. Perhaps her fleeing with Adam completely unprecedented was a form of attachment issues (even though she hardly remembered the guy and they never even talked, but yeah sure, they’re in love). If she had stayed true to her original writing I would have liked the books better, but she dropped the originality for something generic. It became superfluous and distracting. There are different races and cultures included in this series, along with different sexualities. This series feels like a group hug that anyone is welcome to join.
To any girl who meets a boy who was "broken" by the way someone in his life treated him, who gets treated horribly by this boy -- run. His brokenness does not make it okay for him to hurt you. His brokenness does not mean that he deserves your forgiveness. There are plenty of people who suffer abuse and do not lash out and abuse the people they "love." It doesn't make it okay. He did not deserve or earn her forgiveness. And once I've finished annotating all of these books, I will share with you all why that is. Mafi combines a psychological opener with an action-adventure denouement in her YA debut. This is a gripping read from an author who's not afraid to take risks." -- Publishers Weekly Ero così fiera di Juliette. L’ho vista crescere, cambiare e maturare. Ignite me mi ha anche insegnato ad amare un personaggio come mai mi era capitato prima d’ora.. E questo perché l’autrice è riuscita a caratterizzare in maniera così eccelsa il personaggio di Aaron Warner che io riesco a percepire sulla mia pelle tutti i brividi che lui mi ha lasciato.Nel secondo libro ci ritroviamo una Juliette piuttosto lamentosa, non reagisce e sembra un disco rotto che ripete sempre le stesse cose, un po’ estenuante a lungo andare, nonostante tutto abbiamo la bella comparsa di nuovi personaggi e nuovi ambienti parecchio intriganti. Aaron Warner. Period. Warner is one of my favorite parts of this series. He is my favorite book boyfriend out of all the books I’ve read for many reasons. I’ll name a few. I knew something was wrong with that kid from the moment he was shoved into Juliette's prison and I don't mean the plot twist in the first book. Troubled, and rightfully so, youth are drawn together by unseen forces finding relationships of all kinds through each other. Father figures and little brothers tugging at heart strings you didn't know you had. The war between truth and reality you will have with yourself will be taxing.
Great Deal
