Shatter Me Series by Tahereh Mafi -> Restarting November 12th, 2023

[Esther]

I read the novella.

[Esther]

I just finished Unravel Me and I didn't like as much as the first book. Juliette was very whiny during the book. She started to look better at the end.

[Esther]

(view spoiler)[I was really annoyed when I saw that Warner could touch Juliette when Adam couldn't. Adam was also really whiny. (hide spoiler)]

My review of Unravel Me.

[Esther]

I am getting the next book. This book had no plot and I was dissapointed in it.

[Esther]

I rated it 3 stars.

[Esther]

I started and finished Defy Me today.

[Esther]

It was really good, and I nearly cried while I read it.

[Esther]

I didn't like the cover very much though. The other covers are better in my opinion.

[Esther]

(view spoiler)[ Everything I found out in this book was almost overwhelming. I felt like Juliette. I had no idea about the memories that came back to her and when they did, I was just as shocked as she was. (hide spoiler)]

Can I join this series thread?? I’ve read the first 2 (and the novella Destroy Me). I was waiting on the 3rd to throw up a BR ask haha.

[Aly]

Of course!

[Kim]

April 16 - 12% It has been a minute since I read "Unravel Me" and I forgot how it ended. So the beginning of this book certainly threw me for a loop. That first chapter nearly knocked me for a loop!

April 17 - 23% I'm liking Juliette a lot more in this book than the last one. I felt like all she did was cry about how hard her life was. This book it feels like she's owning herself and making decisions for what's right for her, instead of following around boys. Big improvement, in my opinion.

[Kim]

62% (view spoiler)[ what do they think they can actually accomplish? Like yea, her training is getting better but what is anyone else doing? Juliette's plan is literally "I'm gonna go to the army and show they I can crush shit. They will say 'hey we should join her.' Then I go to the town and tell them we are going to fight. Then we win!" Like whaatt?!! (hide spoiler)]

[Deanie]

27%
(view spoiler)[Very much not what I expected. A very unique writing style, with the stream of consciousness/strike through words and sentences. It's like being inside Juliette's head. So far, so good. Very compelling (hide spoiler)]

[Deanie]

54%
(view spoiler)[ They're escaping. Interesting. I hope the author explains the inconsistency in her powers, why she sometimes but now always kills people with her touch. (hide spoiler)]

75%
(view spoiler)[Now onto the action... Adam is shot, maybe dead... Warner is maybe dead, too? Aside from Warner being seriously crazy to think that he and Juliette could be a happy couple. I can't wait to find out what happens next. Of course, I know that's not the end, since there are a lot of books in this series. (hide spoiler)]

100%
(view spoiler)[Interesting. Seems kind of Hunger Games to me, when they discovered the secret District 13. Omega Point is its own secret society. Are they really what they seem? Are Juliette's guys actually good guys? More story to come in the other novels. (hide spoiler)]

[Deanie]

25% (view spoiler)[ I'm actually starting to feel sorry for Warner, even though he's been a complete ass. He doesn't seem to have had many more choices than Juliette had. (hide spoiler)]

50% (view spoiler)[Is Warner's dad the true villain of the piece? Is Juliette as sane as she seems or will her notebook show that she did go crazy? (hide spoiler)]

75% (view spoiler)["I wonder if someone will ever be kind enough to kill me" vs. "...some days I wonder why I insist on keeping myself alive." Not so different after all. (hide spoiler)]

100% (view spoiler)[ Is he crazy? I suppose the rest of the books will tell us. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Starting Shatter Me now!

[Aly]

I think I've read Shatter Me like 4 times, but it's so good!

I know some people don't like the last 3 books as much, but it's a lot of interesting history and more of (view spoiler)[ Juliette and Warner! (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

33%: (view spoiler)[I mean ya girl.. I would be freaking out too. You just saw him kill someone basically coldblooded. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

66%: (view spoiler)[James is so freaking adorable. I love him. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

81%: (view spoiler)[..so are we just going to ignore that she randomly feels comfortable with a gun but isn't confident with her aim or actually shooting it? Uh okay. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

100%: (view spoiler)[Okay I finished this a while ago but had so many damn phone calls. Ugh work! Other than that, pretty interesting stuff happening so far. Especially with some of the secret coming out towards the end. I'm wondering what's going to happen next and praying for NO love triangle./spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

21%: (view spoiler)[Interesting on how he did the same from her in the previous book and now she needs to do the same to get him out of his head. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

[Alaina]

[Alaina]

100%: (view spoiler)[Oh good, it's over. Eh it was okay but I'm hoping that Juliette becomes less annoying in the next book. Adam too. I am intrigued on how the brother relationship will be in the next book. (hide spoiler)]

[Esther]

Ooh! Could I join this BR. I just got Imagine Me and I'm going to start reading it soon.

[Alaina]

I just realized I missed the first novella set so I will probably dive into Unite Me after I finish The Other Side of the Sky

[Alaina]

Book 1 - Ch 4: (view spoiler)[IT IS SO WEIRD seeing Delalieu like this. Or is it just me? Also, the whole simulation thing - ugh, still makes me so mad. (hide spoiler)]
Book 1 - Ch 14: (view spoiler)[Yeah, so this book just fueled my hatred for Warner's dad. What a dick. (hide spoiler)]
Book 2 - Ch 8: (view spoiler)[Oh shit, yeah I would feel bad and freak out about a sibling being left behind after hearing that as well. (hide spoiler)]
Book 2 - Finished: (view spoiler)[Juliette's journal made me so sad. Poor girl. (hide spoiler)]
