I'm still waiting on finishing this one, I'm nervous about bad reviews and my own uncertain feelings about these characters!! Definitely let us know what you think, I'm compiling opinions before I decide! LOL

Yeah, that's another one I'm anxious to start! I preordered the print copy on B&N, so thankfully I can still get some other books read until that comes in the mail and I chuck them all aside! =)

I'm embarrassed to admit this to all of my bookaholics, but I just realized that I was mixing up Of Poseidon (Of Poseidon, #1) by Anna Banks with Lies Beneath (Lies Beneath, #1) by Anne Greenwood Brown !! Thankfully this was a very welcome revelation, because Lies Beneath was just okay IMO and I was just hoping the sequel would be better. Now I'm REALLY excited because I remember how awesome Of Poseidon was!! LMAO

Okay, I'm done sharing my "duh!" moment...*bangs head on wall*

Yep, it is! I read two weeks ago and I'm still recovering.

Ekaterine (thegoddess) | 478 comments Okay, guys I started Shatter Me (Shatter Me, #1) by Tahereh Mafi and I know next to nothing about this series. The only thing I know is Warner. Everybody talks about him, though I haven't met him yet. I was wondering do we not like Adam? Why is no one talking about him? :) Oh, are they one and same?

I personally am not a fan of Adam I think he's rather uninteresting but a lot like him. He and Warner are on opposite sides of the spectrum personality wise (the good boy and the antihero). I think why he may not be mentioned quite as much is that his role is lessened through the progression of the series.

You will love Adam and HATE Warner in Shatter Me!! Seriously hate Warner. I just started Unravel Me (book 2 that everyone swears I will turn team Warner in). So far I'm still loving Adam and my heart is breaking for him and Juliette, but then again, I haven't encountered Warner yet. So there's still time for me to eat my words! Whew!! That was a lot!

I should have read some reviews. Ok, I'm ready for some hate! I don't know Adam that much I just met him. I was shocked when his name wasn't Warner. So my mind went into the conspiracy theories and came up with explanation of Adam Warner. :D :D Yep, should have read some reviews.

Oh Erin, you're awesome! We're ALL well acquainted with moments like this darling since our reading lists are hundreds and hundreds of books long girl LOL!

But yes, Of Poseidon (Of Poseidon, #1) by Anna Banks was pretty good and so excited over Of Triton (Of Poseidon, #2) by Anna Banks ! I'm hoping it's as good as book 1 :)

Its not fair for someone to tell you "you will hate this person", or love this person, or hate that book. Its just a matter of opinion and theres a lot of ppl who love Warner, and a lot of ppl who love Adam. So just let yourself decide when your ready.

Warner is the bad boy who just kind of came out of left field, so it was more the shock of how much we lust after him that caused all of the ruckus! LOL I can't speak for everyone, but I know my review of Shatter Me is ALL about Team Adam!! ;-)

Yeah, I read them pretty close together and I guess I just forgot how much I loved Of Poseidon after being a little disappointed in Lies Beneath. I read my review and it was like a lightbulb turning on! LOL But yes, I'm officially at the point where I've read too many books to keep them all straight, and I'm actually finally forgetting names from some of my favorites, which I swore would never happen!

I'm probably in the minority but I loved Warner in Shatter Me, I thought he was totally crazy and interesting and was totally indifferent to Adam and Juliette especially together. The novella and sequel grew my love for the series not really the characters themselves because my opinion of them individually hasn't really changed.

OMG I was Team Adam through Shatter Me but then I read Destroy Me(the novella) and then Unravel Me. I still love Adam, but Warner is just....so.....ahhhhh! I can't help it, Warner is just so magnetic that Adam just seems boring in comparison.

I am with you Mel! I loved Warner even in Shatter Me, more in Destroy Me. And I have been Team Warner since Unravel Me. Maybe Destroy Me. But it was in Unravel Me that I really saw them connect and now have no doubt that they belong together. :P

I love Adam hun, but there is something about Warner that gets the juices flowing. You must read Destroy Me (Shatter Me #1.5) by Tahereh Mafi Which is all about Warner and then Unravel Me (Shatter Me, #2) by Tahereh Mafi to know more about him but I'm on the fence, slightly leaning towards Warner after reading book 2

OMG, yes! I too loved Warner in Shatter Me just on his personality but reading Destroy Me gave more context as to why he is the way he is and I just appreciated him all the more. Reading Unravel Me just brought it full circle as far as his relationship with Juliette and why they really are meant to be.

I love the antihero type guys too and I almost always lean toward them. I love the guys who are complex and have more layers to their personalities. The good guys who are all good tend to bore me, the only good guy I love is Prince Maxon and he's so cute it's impossible not to.
