Ignite Me (Shatter Me Series #3)

I need more! Can you please write a novelia? I mean what happens with Warner(Aaron) and Juliett? What hapens in the process of talking over the world, rebuliding their homes? What happens with Warner, James, and Adam? I mean do they tell James that Warner is his brother too? I am extremely mad right now because this journey cannot be over! Right now I am seriously mad at the author!!!

This last installment wasn't just about the romance (which was pretty hot). It was about Juliette becoming such a strong main character. I absolutely loved her development through these books! I've never been happier with an ending than I was after reading this book. Definitely my favorite book from this trilogy.

I'm so sad to see this series finish, but what a beautiful story. I highly recommend this series to all my fellow reading junkies out there. Can't wait to see more from Mafi!

I love all of her booksi was there from day one when these books came outand I have read each iof them at least 3 times I can't get enough of juilettes powers and the mysteryof what going to happen next..... LOVE IT

This trilogy was so true to life and young women! I loved that you saw the evolution of Juliette from sad and passive to powerful and driven. I think more women need to be inspired to go after what they want and be themselves without feeling like they need to apologize for being strong. Furthermore, I just really enjoyed Mafi's writing style. It drew me in so well in the beginning and kept me entertained for three books straight. Also, she throws in a little bit of everything: scify, romance, action, you name it. Such a great read! I recommend to anyone and everyone!

Fantastic series

She totally trashed adam in this book!

I read this book in one day and let me tell you I was stunned. I love the development in Juliette she went from a girl crying in the corner to a strong demanding woman. I also love Juliette and Aaron... if i could go in that book though i would slap Adam. Anyways i really do recomend this series. Happy reading!

It was a good ending to one of my favorite series. I would, however, have liked the war to be little more drawn out. I love the new relationdhip between Aaron and Juliette.

Amazing!!! Beautifully written!! When the series started I was all for Adam, but as the characters grew, i fell in love with Aaron! Love the series! Sad to see them go!

Dnxjaajdbdkso. I dont care wat your dioing but you gotta read this oml. Why are you not reading it? Go! NOW!!!

This book is good but Adam is a jerk.:-(

All i can say is please ignite me!!!!!!!!!!!!i love this book everything in it is funny and romantic its defenitely a re-read.;)

It took me several days to congeal my thoughts about Ignite Me into something that I could actually put into words. My review that follows is not one I normally would write, in that, it’s rife with spoilers. I do apologize for that. To be honest, the writing of this review is going to be somewhat cathartic for me, and I’m sorry that you who haven’t read it yet, are on the receiving end of my word vomit. I will say that Tahereh Mafi is an absolutely beautiful writer. It flows and ebbs like water and she has the ability to elicit real emotion from me without much apparent effort. Her use of symbolism is unmatched. And, something new that I discovered about her – this woman knows how to write romance. Face-fanning, lady-bit tingling, jelly-legged romance. It’s good stuff. And, seriously, the covers of all her books in the Shatter Me series are orgasms for my eyes. They are the most beautiful series covers I’ve ever seen. So, on to the spoilers. If you haven’t read Ignite Me, you will want to stop now. Seriously – stop reading if you don’t want to know who Juliette picked. Last warning. My feelings on whether I “liked” or “did not like” Ignite Me are not wrapped up in whether my team won or lost. It’s not nearly as simplistic as that, although some might dispute that. Certainly, I’ll be the first one to admit that I wish Juliette had chosen the other guy, and that fact does color my overall opinion of the book to some degree. How could it not? We, as book fans, become so involved in our favorite characters’ lives that we create Twitter handles and websites dedicated to them. We passionately advocate for our favorite crushes and couples in tournaments and create badges and buttons announcing our allegiances for our blogs and Facebook pages. Of course the outcome of love triangles are going to affect our overall impressions of the books in which they are found, and there is nothing wrong with that. I have always said that the worst way out of a love triangle is to kill off one of the choices. And, I realized after finishing Ignite Me that that is exactly what Mafi did here. Granted, both Adam and Warner were physically alive in the end. But, all the qualities that made up the Adam that was introduced to us in Shatter Me died a fiery, horrible death over the course of this 408-page book, and frankly, it makes me more angry than anything else. Adam captured my heart from the very beginning. The story of how this boy helped this girl and became her only friend when no one else would dare brought tears to my eyes. Then, after spending years trying to find her, he risks everything to free her from both her physical and mental prison. He loved her practically his whole life, and the greatest gift was when he heard that her love was returned. He naturally wanted to protect her from all the bad scary things (love kinda makes you want to do that), but he also believed that she could be so much more. That man was nowhere to be found in Ignite Me. I appreciate that Juliette wanted to stop hiding and start living. But, didn’t she do that the second she jumped out of her bedroom window with Adam? Wasn’t she standing up for herself when she pointed that gun in Kenji’s face while in Adam’s apartment? Didn’t she take charge of her life when she made the decision to take Adam and James to Omega Point in the first place? And, didn’t Adam support her and go along with it all? The Adam that was presented to us in Ignite Me was bitter, cold and hateful. He was indecisive and angry. It was almost as if Mafi was trying to force her choice down my throat. I hate to break it to her, but I could’ve gotten behind her decision to put Juliette with Warner if she had given me a good reason why. But, vilifying and demonizing Adam in order to paint a more radical contrast between he and the now angelic Warner felt so wrong to me. If two characters are going to completely switch personalities over the course of a series, I want a solid reason why, and unrequited love isn’t one. Not for these two guys. In the end, I just didn’t believe any of it. Sadly, if you put all the relationship drama aside, there isn’t much left in Ignite Me. Whereas Shatter Me and Unravel Me focused a lot on the development of Juliette’s powers and how they might take down the Reestablishment, Ignite Me was all angst and guilt and hormones. There was very little said about Juliette’s, Warner’s and Adam’s powers, and almost nothing about the secondary characters’ powers (so little, in fact, that I forgot what they were until about 85% through). All three books were leading up to the final showdown between Juliette and Anderson. We didn’t even see Anderson until the final pages of the book. And, then it was over. Just like that. All the waiting and anticipation was over so fast, and I literally said out loud, “So, that’s it then?” I wanted so much more! I wanted to know what was beyond Sector 45 and how the destruction of it and Anderson was going to affect the rest of the country. Is there even a country? What does the world look like? The world-building has always been a little weak for my liking, and I was thinking we’d finally fill in those holes in Ignite Me. Not so. Now that it’s all said and done and I’ve had some time to reflect on my true feelings regarding Ignite Me, I realize that I just feel cheated. What I thought was the whole point (taking down the leader of the regime that has been oppressing people for years) ended up being buried amid the unrealistic destruction of one character loved by many and the unbelievable elevation of another to one who could do absolutely nothing wrong. The shaping of Juliette’s budding abilities and personality was squashed by her constant indecision in the “I love him, I love him not” game. Or, maybe, I missed the point entirely.

The actual action, which is very little, comes very late, almost only at the end of the book. The horrors of war was just glazed over. Juliet is now this indestructible super hero and Adam has been reduced to a constantly angry,  overly dramatic and bitter spurned lover. Warner is now Aaron. Kenji is just irresistible. Everything was tied up neatly at the end. Simplistic overall writing, predictable, forgettable except for maybe one very passionate scene. Overall:: Not bad but could have been much better.

I'm actually just sitting here waiting for Ignite Me to come out and I've read every exerpt and teaser I can but honestly this waiting is so excrutiating but I don't know what I will do after this seeing as its the final book. Time seems to be going so slowly and I'm super nervous since I know I'll probably finish it by the end of the day and I can't sleep at all. Okay

This was one of the best books I have and ever will read. No complaints. I love Warner and glad Juliette finally stood up for herself. The only sad thing is that the series is over!!!

Loved this story. I was torn between the love triangle but everthing felt right in the end. I do wish there was 1 more book to finish things up. To get to the happily ever after! But i couldnt put it down!

I love her writing and I love the story she tells. I feel like this book was so much about love and finding ones true heart. I love that how I thought the book would go it did not. I loved getting to see the true sides of Adam and Warner. Any other details you want, read the book!

That's It? It took me a day to finish the book and one thing is running through my head while I finished. THAT'S IT? I felt as though there was so much more depth and conclusion to the book that it truly made it look like the whole plot was rushed. Of course, we come back from the bombing thing and Warner being Juliette's savior, keeping her alive and then she finds out everyone is safe and then we see Adam, with his emotions all blown up and he became a raging monster all of sudden just because she came back with Warner? Dude, chill. There was so much more potential to the book than just knowing that your OTP is gonna be together. I seriously think that it is quintessential to finish what you started in the grandeur of how it is supposed to be finished. And when you think about killing Anderson and all that, you imagine guns everywhere, machines blowing up, the guys of Omega Point showing off their powers and Anderson being a total sadist that he is but I was left with a wee bit of disappointment coz it started out to be such a good encounter between Juliette and Anderson and it ends like that? My oh my. The strikethroughs are gone, which my friend said was the end of Juliette's dramatics, but I loved those strikethroughs! Juliette can live in fear even if she has found her courage. And then there's Kenji. He's the breath of fresh air, the saving grace for me. He just knows. I honestly love Tahereh and her story and I respect what she wanted to happen, but I would've been happier reading a 1000 pages more than be left with 400 of it when things weren't settled the way they should have been. Her writing style is still flawless and lovely and of course she has described the surroundings, the characters well enough for us to love them even more, but storywise, I am left hanging. Kudos though to the success of the Shatter Me Trilogy! All in all, I loved every bit of it and I still dream of a Kenji novella to this day!

I love this series! I couldn't put it down and (shhh...don't tell anyone) even found myself reading in traffic. Can't wait for the next one.

How many pages...ps luv the trilogy

Graet conclusion

Great end to the series! I enjoyed reading how J evolved and found herself. Great read! 

I am a big fan if this series and I can honestly say there could have not been a more fitting ending. Im only sad it had to end
