Shatter Me Series By Tahereh Mafi - Reading 'Ignite Me (Shatter Me #3)' from September 10th 2019

[Amanda]

Since my copy's of the series won't be here till the 5th I'm reading a copy I borrowed from my library on my phone and I sure did miss this series.

[Felicia]

Sorry. I was part of the February 10th start date. But I’m glad y’all are finally here! No ones been talking to me! Lol.

[Amanda]

I'm glad you have us to talk to, hopefully it picks up with more people discussing. I loved these books and happy to re-read them all. :)

[Felicia]

Me too! This is a reread for me too. And I can’t believe I waited so long to do it!

[Felicia]

I’ve been reading Ignite Me all evening and just realized I haven’t been updating. So right now I’m at page 312. (view spoiler)[So much happened in this book that I forgot about! I forgot she figures out she can turn her power off. I know, right?! That’s pretty significant. So like how do you forget something like that. Lol.

I also forgot Castle retreated into himself for a little bit. I forgot about Anderson being on a ship, Warner’s mother dying. So much I forgot about.

But I did remember that they spent most of their time in Warner’s training room. And I remember the plan Juliette put together. And I remember the end.

And speaking of Warner. Man, do I love him! Him and Juliette are rather annoying in this book with their back and forth. But I love him so much. He is such a cute little sweet cinnamon roll. ❤️ (hide spoiler)]

[Felicia]

Page 326. Just finished chapter 56. (view spoiler)[Omgggggggg. Juliette finally told Warner she loves him. Finally. I’ve been waiting for this the entire book! The entire series since I started this reread!

And they finally did the do! And even though nothing is really said like in a smutty romance book, it was still steamy! Man, what I wouldn’t do to have a night with Warner. Lol. (hide spoiler)]

[Felicia]

Chapter 74(view spoiler)[Yassssssss. Shot Anderson right in the head. Twice. Fuck him. (hide spoiler)]

Finished Ignite Me.(view spoiler)[Man. I never realized how left open this book was. I guess when I read it the first time around all those years ago, knowing it was the final installment at the time it was enough for me. And now. Now I just can’t wait until next week to get my hands on Restore Me!

And let me just mention that I effing love Warner. Every woman deserves a man like him. One who will stand by her if she wants to conquer the world. He is so perfect. And he was perfect for Juliette. ❤️ (hide spoiler)]

[Riley]

What chapter are we currently on?

[Riley]

And thanks for the link!

[Amanda]

@Felicia I know same here I looked at when I read it last and was like wow that was a long time ago lol.
I'm glad you've been enjoying it.

@WoowReallly I'm not to far into to, I'm been so crazy busy with work but I'm on chapter 6 right now. I've been reading it on my phone right now since my own copy won't be here till Monday, what chapter are you on? Of course not a problem at all.

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Is anyone reading Ignite Me any time soon? I saw it on the BR calendar starting today.

[Riley]

Chapter 10

[Amanda]

@Nicole I'm reading Shatter me right now so I'm not right now.

@WoowReallly I just got my book in the mail today so I've been able to pick it back up and I'm on chapter 10 as well right now.

[Lane]

Jumping in here! Forgot to post my updates but I made notes along the way!

Up to Chapter 14

(view spoiler)[ I feel like Warner is a total nut job. Juliette is clearly not about this wanting to join his war life.

And I really need Adam to get it together. I still don't know how I feel about him after he basically established his relationship with Juliette through an outright lie. I like Juliette but I feel like she's already kind of ga-ga over him *rolls eyes*. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Up to Chapter 25

(view spoiler)[ See I still don't know what to make of Adam. Presents himself as fellow inmate, find out he's a soldier, then he's all nice and I can touch you and want to help, then he's oh he signed up because he also thought you were a monster and what you could do, then he's we're leaving in three weeks?!?! He is an emotional roller coaster.

Warner is now super creepy and murderous to me. Like Clancy from Darkest Minds but worse. I like that Juliette is her toughest against his shenanigans though. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Up to Chapter 37

(view spoiler)[ WHAT THE HECK WARNER?! He's always putting people in danger, but we're hurting toddlers now?! I really hate him. But Juliette is like all-powerful or something? I don't really understand her powers.

I'm so happy they're away from him because Warner was moving from evil and creepy to sexual assault-y very quickly. And he can touch her too? Her power is just really confusing. Maybe people who actually want to touch her can? But I'm happy they finally escaped, though I don't trust Kenji AT. ALL. Convenient appearances are suspect to me. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Finished

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Ignite Me Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ Ughh why does Juliette always do this! I want more of Warner. I need more of Warner. Why does he always end up going away?! I do miss Kenji. I’m glad to hear of his humor again. Don’t care much for Adam. Sorry but I don’t. (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

Shatter Me: Chapters 1-24

It's interesting re-reading this book and some what knowing what is going on.


(view spoiler)[It's interesting how Adam has pretty much followed Juliette from when they knew each other to now which is kinda weird to me. Warner sure does annoy me and just the way he acts. Juliette has a hard life with knowing what she is capable of doing to others and able to just destroy anything so easily. (hide spoiler)]

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Ignite Me Chapter 24 (view spoiler)[ Sooo Adam and Juliet: A complete train wreck. Yeah that prettt much sums it up. Sooo Adam’s being ass and Juliet’s an idiot like usual. We all knew this would never work out. I do feel bad for Adam but Juliet did break up with him and he just keeps declaring that he’ll fix things without Juliet’s input on the matter. Sooo at the same time I don’t. Sorry guys but I don’t. That and I’m completely biased for Warner. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 25-28 (view spoiler)[ Sooo Kenji’s awesome. Will forever be awesome and I really wish I had him as a best friend too. Adam’s lost it. Complete and total jerk. I get it. He’s hurt and his pride is all he has right now. But in now does he have the right to say and do what he just did. Warner was sooooo cute! How worried he was about Juliet. How he slowly gave in to what she wanted. Omg! I just love him! I loved chapter 28. It was just awesome to see Warner like that. (hide spoiler)]

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Chapter 32 (view spoiler)[ I just realized that this book is basically gonna be about Warner. But you know what?! I AM OKAY WITH THAT! Please give me more Warner! I need it! It was sooo interesting to see him worrying about his scars. I’m also so sad for him and how he’s hurting Juliette. Gahhh! When is she gonna stop being in denial?! (hide spoiler)]

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Chapter 56 (view spoiler)[ Finally! OMG Juliette! You wasted so much time and hurt Warner a lot in the process. But you know what?! I don't even care anymore. I'm just happy that it's finally happening and that Warner is happy now. But she took soooo long to not be in denial! I've come to really love Warner as a character. Although Juliette has not been my favorite main character, I'm just satisfied at this point that Warner's getting a happy ending. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[ Okay. 4 stars. Honestly, there was a lot wrong in this book. Like wtf was up with that super rushed ending? But I really DON'T CARE because this book was basically all about Warner and I loved him! The more we learned about him and the more we saw of him, just made me love him even more. Of course there were other things that I loved about this book like Kenji. Someone please get that guy a girlfriend because we all know he deserves someone special for being awesome. I wish I had a friend like him that will always watch my back and be that entertaining at the same time. Juliette was actually tolerable in this book. She's still stupid and makes stupid decisions but she wasn't whiny and was actually willing to do things. So I was okay with her at the end. I'm glad we saw more of Omega Point's crew, like Winston and Brendan. I loved those guys. I'm glad that the brothers know about each other now. Adam was insane in this book but I hope the three brothers somehow learn to live with each other or at least not kill each other. I loved seeing Warner interact with James. That was awesome. Overall, a very fun read! (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Unite Me: Destroy Me up to Chapter 18

(view spoiler)[ Gah, I really wanted to hate Warner for his incredibly creepy tendencies in Shatter Me, but I guess he has a heart after all. I can't believe Seamus was abusing his family, but I feel like Warner could have accused him of something that wouldn't get his family killed also? Or just killed him because he felt like it? It seems like people fear him enough where that would have been okay. His father definitely wouldn't blink an eye it seems. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Unite Me: Destroy Me Finish

(view spoiler)[ Warner is really losing it, but I want to know what makes him immune to Juliette like Adam. I'm hoping whatever it is makes him strong enough to face his dad because that guy really sucks. And now Warner has to be the one to find her if he wants her to stay alive. I also kind of hope he takes this dog in though I know that would make him look too soft. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Unravel Me, 25%

(view spoiler)[ Seriously what is happening?! If she accidentally kills Adam I will scream. I feel so bad for her, like finally she has someone she can touch and love and it just gets snatched away :( And I don't trust Castle at all. None. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Unravel Me, up to Chapter 39

(view spoiler)[ WHAT?! Is this book forreal? So Warner and Adam are brothers?! Which totally explains why they can both touch her, since I'm sure they have the same power, but this is too much. This is entirely too much. And she can't really be with either of them because she can kill them! My heart. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Unravel Me, Up to Chapter 63

(view spoiler)[ I just want to knock Juliette in her head a few times. Like I get that we're supposed to feel bad for Warner and want him to be redeemed, but I'm sorry Adam is perfect and yes you can't touch him but Warner is not the resolution, just no. Also, I'm so happy James has a power, I love that kid. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Unravel Me, finished

(view spoiler)[ Anderson is just pure evil and I hope Juliette lays waste to his entire empire. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Unite Me, Fracture Me

(view spoiler)[ I really think Kenji might be in love with Juliette, and honestly I might prefer that over Adam or Warner. She needs a carefree, funny person to balance out her high-strung nature. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Unite Me, Juliette's Journal

(view spoiler)[ I still can't ever get over how awful Juliette's parents were. I keep wanting them to appear in the book, but then I assume they're probably dead and maybe that's for the best for Juliette's sake. (hide spoiler)]

[Christine]

Starting with Destroy Me now hoping I'll come to like the series

[Christine]

Destroy Me
Chapter 1-6 (view spoiler)[ I think Warner is a cool character I'd like to know except for his uncontrollably obsessive to Juliette. I don't get what's special except that she's a big-time weapon. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 7-11(view spoiler)[ I see so he's sharing the same past with Julliete. That explains his obsessive. Ooookay (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 8-18(view spoiler)[ Okay I get it now. I'm warming up to Warner just a little bit. That's a progress considering I don't like anyone in Book 1. (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[I'm glad I read this novella. It's good to read a different light to their dystopian world. It's like I've met the sanest person of them all. I don't like the rest of the characters, only Warner. (hide spoiler)]

[Christine]

Unravel Me
Chapter 1-20(view spoiler)[ I was actually getting bored with Adam and got ticked off with Castle. But then the tables turned when I learned how sad Adam's twist is. Now I feel sorry for him. but at least he got some cool powers? (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 21-42 (view spoiler)[ Finally some actions with power stuff. I was getting bored with Juliette's depression. I mean I know it's really hard and all but a reader's got to wish. xD And finally, some character development right there. yay! (hide spoiler)]

[Christine]

Unravel me
Chapter 43-62 (view spoiler)[ I'm so stressed with their emotional drama. I'm surprised they still have time for that. I pity Castle for he's the only one left to do the decision making with every hormonal teenager under the Omega Point. (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[What a nice change of world from book 1. However, the focus of the book is on the emotional value of the characters. It would be better if it would've found its balance between war and their drama. (hide spoiler)]

[Christine]

Ignite Me
Chapter 1-21(view spoiler)[Man, I'm torn with all these dramas. This series is full of dramas and I'm getting attached to the characters and I can't remember why I hated book 1. My impression for Book1 was put to shame.lol (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 22 -35(view spoiler)[ I feel bad for Adam. I feel bad for Warner. I feel bad for everyone. And I'm trying to read this without feelings because I'm sure it will come bursting off everywhere. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 59(view spoiler)[ Now, time for some action. And I can't feel my heart. (hide spoiler)]

[Christine]

Ignite Me
Finished(view spoiler)[ I've actually finished this whole packed drama. It was really nice and I hate that it managed to make me feel vulnerable and afraid for their lives. I can practically feel my feet cold. The action was cool but there's more drama than that. But it's better than Book 1. In fact, it's way better. (hide spoiler)]

[Tiera]

Can I crash this with you guys!? I've been wanting to read it forever and it just popped up on KU!

[Tiera]

16% (view spoiler)[ Dang this is pretty good! I've been totally sucked in! "All I ever wanted was to reach out and touch another human being not just with my hands but with my heart." I feel like that statement characterizes Juliette... if Warner had just played more to her side of wanting to be able to save people instead of being a douchenozzle he would have had her. (hide spoiler)]
28% (view spoiler)[ Juliette's montage here about killing time I think may be brilliant! (hide spoiler)]
33% (view spoiler)[ "I've wanted to kiss you for so long." Oh no, even though I am totes shipping Adam and Juliette.. I'm so scared for them. (hide spoiler)]
45% (view spoiler)[ They have escaped.. what I want to know is how did Adam get involved with them to begin with.. I was thinking that maybe Adam was playing both sides and may be a rebel or something but now hes taking her to his house.. so maybe he isn't? (hide spoiler)]
55% LOL (view spoiler)[ Ok i love Kenji... (hide spoiler)]
65% (view spoiler)[ OH no Kenjii don't betray us!!! I was loving you! (hide spoiler)]
70% (view spoiler)[ "I brought you here," he says to me carfully, quietly, "because this is where you belong. Because you need to know that you are not alone." Ba ba baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Yes! This is turning into a superhero type book! I love those! (hide spoiler)]
Finished: Yep I'm hooked! Loving the dystopian/apocalyptic feel here! I wish there was more backstory.. but I have a feeling that its a slow reveal and we will get some answers in the end.. I can totally be patient.. maybe! Can't wait for Juliette to start being a total Bad A for the good guys! You know in these wars there never really is a good guy.. hope in this case Omega are the good guys.

ch 19 (view spoiler)[ I like how they're doing the narration, with the scratch sounds for Juliette's crossed out words. I want Warner! But Kenji is so great too. (hide spoiler)]
chapter 40 (view spoiler)[ I love when Juliette shoots the Commander. And now Warner is back yes! These books have crazy revelations all the time! (hide spoiler)]
chapter 54 (view spoiler)[ I remember the first time I read this and the change you see in Warner because he loves Juliette and is actually not a bad person. His dad has beat him down, but he's resilient. Definitely one of my favorite guys in YA (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ I love how Warner saves Juliette in the end. He really would do anything for her. And I like how she finally decides to fight at the end. Ahh, need to read the next book! (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

chapter 4 (view spoiler)[I like seeing the same conversation with Adam, Kenji, and Juliette but from Adam's point of view. What he was thinking and how he doesn't know the pain Juliette feels about Warner. (hide spoiler)]
chapter 8 (view spoiler)[I definitely understand Adam going after James first. He's a kid and can't defend himself (hide spoiler)]
chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ Oh, the bombing! I forgot about that. I'm so glad James followed them, wow (hide spoiler)]
chapter 16(view spoiler)[Oh, so sad they think Juliette is dead. I guess it's good Warner's story seems legit, but now Adam and the group think almost everyone is gone. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Reading now!
chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ I understand Adam and the group not trusting Warner. He's done, or seemed to do, some terrible things. But I love Warner and he would do anything for Juliette (hide spoiler)]
chapter 39 (view spoiler)[ Adam is a douche. This is when you really know that Juliette does not belong with him. He said he preferred it when she was dead! Just because she's not in love with him, wow (hide spoiler)]
chapter 58 (view spoiler)[ Yes, Warner and Juliette are together! I love it so much. He's one of my all time favorite book boyfriends lol (hide spoiler)]
finished (view spoiler)[ Juliette + Warner = <3 haha This was a great reread, I love this series. Juliette is so much stronger than she knows and watching her grow, especially through the writing style, was so cool. And the audio was really good (hide spoiler)]

[María]

Hello! A couple of days ago I read these books. Can I join you a discuss them together?

Chapter 19: (view spoiler)[ I think the fragments of her diary made the present more meaningful. She was like a calm but dark and dangerous water. (hide spoiler)].
Chapter 40: (view spoiler)[ The reaction of Kenji after Juliette shoot Warner's father worried me. She seems out of control and with her power that was dangerous. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 54: (view spoiler)[ I was always in team Warner. From the very beginning and I like that he was not at charming Prince bit neither a bad boy. The story made me think in A Court of Mist and Fury because for me there are many similarities between both stories. (hide spoiler)]
End: (view spoiler)[ I don't like cliffhanger but this author was good at it. You want to keep reading but if the book isn't available to don't want to kill her 😁 (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 4: (view spoiler)[ so many secrets between them. Juliette was feeling guilty about feeling attracted to Warner. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 8: (view spoiler)[ Yes, he even said James was like a son to him because he practically raised James. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 12: (view spoiler)[ I felt so bad about them because they lost not only their refugee but so many people. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 16: (view spoiler)[ I hate the immediately assumed that Warner was the bad guy. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 20 : (view spoiler)[ I like that Warren was always honest about only caring about Juliette and nobody else. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 39: (view spoiler)[ I like the comparison of Juliette and Adam relationship as a calm water that doesn't move and then would get putrid. I don't believe Adam was talking seriously about preferring her dead but she obviously got hurt. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 58: (view spoiler)[ the waiting was so long but it was with it. I love that he was an option for her and not the only man available. (hide spoiler)]
End: I was team Warner from the beginning so (view spoiler)[ I'm so happy with them getting together. The end was epic but I'm worried about Juliette's humanity. She seems to be accepting her power and the fact that she could and would kill people to easily. (hide spoiler)]

[María]

So...are you reading the rest of the books?

[Aly]

Yes. I'll be reading Restore Me today and Defy me next week

[Aly]

25% (view spoiler)[ Warner and Juliette really need to talk and be on the same page. She needs help understanding how to be a leader and deal with all the politics. I'm glad Warner and Adam talked (hide spoiler)]
50% (view spoiler)[ I can't believe Castle or Warner haven't told Juliette who she really is. Come on people! She needs to know (hide spoiler)]
75% (view spoiler)[ Warner is really fucking this up lol. And poor Juliette is just getting hit with all this crap at once. Glad she has Nazera (spelling?) on her side at least. (hide spoiler)]
finished (view spoiler)[ That ending!!! So many things are crazy and I need to know what's going on. I wonder about Juliette's sister and I hope that Warner and Kenji are okay (hide spoiler)]
