Ignite me (Shatter me #3) by Tahereh Mafi

OMG! Guys! Guys! Guys! Guys! GUYS! This book! GUYS! That's one of the best books ever! For ever and ever and ever and ever! Stay away from this post! STAY AWAY IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOKS! SPOILERS!

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"

Juliette now knows she may be the only one who can stop the Reestablishment. But to take them down, she'll need the help of the one person she never thought she could trust: Warner. And as they work together, Juliette will discover that everything she thought she knew-about Warner, her abilities, and even Adam-was wrong.

In Shatter Me, Tahereh Mafi created a captivating and original story that combined 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." The sequel, Unravel Me, blew readers away with heart-racing twists and turns, and New York Times bestselling author Kami Garcia said it was "dangerous, sexy, romantic, and intense." Now this final book brings the series to a shocking and climactic end.

Cover

From all the covers I think this one is my favourite. Just look at it. There's the eye and the bird in it. And waht do you think about the line: FEAR WILL LEARN TO FEAR ME! How cool does that sound? And have you noticed? No crossed lines! The line appeared at the end of chapter 16, I think!

Juliette

This book picks up I think a day or two after the end of Unravel me. And it starts good and perfect and fantastic. I really liked Juliette in this book. She was all sorts of badass and cool. No more crossed lines. She is no longer in denial, no longer doubting herself. She is strong and confident and ready to burn down the world. (not literally, of course) I liked that. She was finally ready to fight and take down the Reestablishment, kill Anderson. And in the end! Oh, in the end! I really don't have words for it. When she was on this ship. It was...it was totally awsome. And that thing with the bullets.

AARON *FREAKING* WARNER

I think I'll have a heart attack. Really! Every freaking time Warner was in this book or appeared in a scene or spoke or entered a room or breathed, I was grinning and had breathing problems. (Gergana let out a breath she didn't know she was holding!) And he was in this book a lot. All I wanted to do was go outside and shout: People, it's Warner! Warner's here! Come! Come and see! Warner's here!

 I love the beginnig of the book when Julietter tells him she is ready to fight. Because that's all he wanted. He wanted her to be strong and to reach her full potential. And then he tells her why he did all those awful things in book one and about the simulation. I'm so glad that turned out to be a simulation and he didn't really let this little boy in a room to die. I have to tell you, I didn't like Warner in the first book, but now that he explained all this stuff...I felt so relieved.

And then we have this moment when he visits his mom. That was so sad. I think I cried a bit. At first I thought she had ran away, but then it hit me. She is dead. Poor Warner! And he was just sitting there and crying. SADNESS OVERLOAD!

I loved how Warner decided he wanted to spend some more time with James and Adam, because they were his brothers. I like that Adam and Warner didn't want to kill each other by the end of the book. I can see them having some brother bounding. And I loved this relationship forming between James and Warner.

Adam

Damn you, Adam! I can't believe I was team Adam in Shatter me! How could I? He was the king of assholes in this book. The emperor of Doucheland. The mayor of Assville. Ok, I get it, he is upset. That show can go on for 10 chapters maximum, but not the whole freaking book. Two fights are completely enough, Adam. Ok, you go crazy and say that Warner can't return to your house. Thar's fine. You don't want that evil villian in your house. But then you go off the boat and kick Juliette out! What the hell, Kent? You say you love her and yet you treat her like that. Do you call that true love? Thank God Warner came!

Then Adam get's even more crazy. And decides he can torture Kenji using Juliette's powers. Did you even think what will happen to Kenji? He could have died! He could have FREAKING DIED. And if you couldn't think about Kenji, what about Juliette? Don't you think she will feel guilty for doing this to Kenji? Didn't you think she'll blame herself? Cause, of course she would blame herself! Thank God Juliette chose the perfect moment to start being badass.

At some point of the book I just wanted Adam to die. A very painful, long, suffering death. Or I wish he gets some kind of decease like Warner's mother so every move causes him crazy pain, but he'll have no painkillers and drugs and he will want to die, but he won't be able to. Ok, I'm sorry! It was nothing personal all you Adam fangirls! I'm sorry!

Chapter 55

Ok! I already talked about Warner, but how can I miss chapter 55. This was my favourite chapter in the whole book.  All Warner parts in this book were the best, which basically means the whole book. Tahereh Mafi doesn't write many love scenes, but when she does, she writes them hot and steamy and perfect! Look at chapter 62 from Unravel me and 55 from Ignite me. I don't count the shower scene from Shatter me, because that was Adam.

Kenji

How can you not love Kenji? Kenji is the single most funny character ever. He needs his own book. Tahereh Mafi should write a spinn-off series just for him. (And the spinn-off series needs to have Juliette amd Warner in it.) He needs a girlfriend. I loved his jokes and how he became Juliette's best friend. He was the first to support or the very least understand the relationship between Warner and Juliette while Adam was too busy being a bitch. And I loved this moment when Juliette realised she could control her powers and she rant to Kenji and hugged him and said: Never let go of me! or something like that.

The ending

I want to get back to the part where Juliette was totally badass. I think one of my favourite scenes was the one where they convince the soldiers to fight for them. That was a hell of the show, but it was only the tip of the badass iceberg. Then we have the ship scene. Anderson's soldiers are shooting Juliette with loads of bullets and she is just fine and then this part where she spits out this bullet and thinks: A clever little bullet. And the scene where she shootsAndreson. I feel that Warner should have done that. Or at least he should have been there. She was all like: This is for Adam and this is for Aaron. And then we get to the real ending. That scene where she is searching for Warner and can't se him and then there he is and she trows herself in his arms. And this last conversation: You know the whole world will be coming for us now, right? -I want to see them try. That's how you write an open ending. Perfect and simple. Unlike Requiem's ending which was kind of annoying for me.

That was my gigantic, fangirly review on Ignite me, one of the best books ever! I'll see ya next time!
