This series has grown on me, each book scoring higher than the last as I’ve come to know the characters, and as Juliette takes control of her life. I know how hard it was to stop reading after the other books, and I don’t know how I’m going to wait for the final installment. I’m now in the painful position of having to decide whether to read Books 4 and 5, and then wait for Book 6, or to force myself to ignore Book 4 until Book 6 has been released. This could be the end of the story, but Tahereh Mafi has written a second trilogy. More steamy scenes, a very touching friendship, and some punch-the-air moments combine to make this a riveting read. And we get more exploration of her complicated relationships with the person who saved her life, and the person she needs to trust in order to change the world. There’s a growing awareness of what has happened to the world, and what she can do to put it right. There’s more X-Men-style training, to help her control her powers. Ignite Me continues her story of self-discovery, and her journey from fear to power. Many of her thoughts were crossed out and confused, and she knew nothing about the collapse of society outside her asylum room. She was locked away, denied contact with other people, and terrified that her touch would kill, again. Juliette has come a long way since the beginning of Book 1. The final book in the Shatter Me series had a lot to deliver: superpowers, training, friendship, attraction, love, and war.
