Coup de coeur !

Commenté en France 🇫🇷 le 11 mars 2014

Après avoir terminé le tome 2 d’Unravel me, il était clair que je ne pouvais pas laisser Juliette, Adam, Kenji et Warner. J’ai donc décidé d’enchaîner avec Ignite me, troisième et dernier tome de la série.

Tandis que le tome 2 s’achevait sur un cliffangher haletant, ce troisième donne le ton : Omega Point est mal en point et plus aucun espoir ne semble demeurer. Tahereh Mafi nous met tout de suite dans l’ambiance avec, cependant, une nuance : Tout ce que vous pensiez savoir sur la série, vous pouvez oublier. De même que la vision de Juliette sur son monde et ceux qui l’entoure s’éclaircit, la nôtre aussi. Clairement lire ce livre est une tuerie.

De nombreuses surprises, des rebondissements de folie et des révélations concernant certains personnages vont vous faire découvrir l’intrigue sous un nouveau jour. Détracteurs de Warner, je parie que vous retournerez rapidement votre chemise suite à la lecture d’Ignite me.

En effet, je n’ai jamais vu personnage plus complexe que lui. Ni aussi bien traité. Ses facettes sont nombreuses et on apprend à l’aimer depuis le tome 2 déjà. Moi qui était plutôt pro-Adam au départ, je l’avoue, Warner a su me sortir des arguments plus que convaincants.

Même Juliette nous surprend. Il est bien loin le temps où l’on avait pitié de cette frêle jeune fille, isolée, rejetée et effrayée par son don. Un don qui a, lui aussi, bien évolué depuis !

La lecture d’Ignite me aura été un tel plaisir qu’il ne m’a fallu qu’une soirée pour le terminer. Une fois débuté, impossible d’abandonner mes personnages favoris dans leur quête de liberté.

Ignite me est parfait. Du début jusqu’à la fin. Ou presque. Seul regret : une confrontation que j’attendais et qui n’aura jamais lieu et une fin peut-être un poil trop vite expédiée.

Ne me reste plus maintenant qu’à lire les nouvelles publiées dans le recueil Unite me. Mais je crois que je vais attendre un peu, histoire de pouvoir retrouver Juliette, Adam, Kenji et Warner un peu plus tard, lorsque le manque se fera sentir.

Ce livre est le livre que tout 'shipper' veut, c'était juste parfait!.. Juste parfait!

Toutes les théorie qui me sont passer par la tête a la fin de 'Unravel Me' sont écrite dans ce livre... A part Adam, lui je ne m'y attendez vraiment pas mais sachant que je ne pas lu tout les autres novella entre 'Shatter Me' et 'Unravel Me'...

Ce tome est définitivement mon favoris de tous... Même si comme beaucoup d'autre j'aurais voulu une épilogue ou un novella pour nous dire ce que deviennent nos héros ensuite. Cependant je ne me plain pas, ce tome étais parfait.

Une conclusion à la hauteur de mes espérances

J'avais dévoré le tome 1 puis vite enchainé le tome 2 et là il me tardait vraiment de lire la fin de la trilogie avec quand même ce petit pincement au cœur car c'était la fin.
L'évolution de Juliette se poursuit dans ce dernier volet, elle doit faire des choix. Je désespérais de savoir qui de Adam ou Warner aurait son cœur. Toutes nos attentes sont comblées, l'histoire se noue et les tomes précédents ne sont jamais oubliés.
Vraiment super livre, superbe trilogie, personnages attachants, écriture simple et originale.

J'ai trouvé cette conclusion des Shatter me series excellente, un vrai plaisir à la lecture. Après avoir fini le 2ème tome je ne pouvait pas attendre le 3ème, et je n'ai pas été déçue. Juliette n'est pas le genre d'héroïne des romans «à l'eau de rose» qui garde plus ou moins la même personnalité tout le long de la série; elle évolue tout le long de l'histoire, et devient peu à peu une jeune fille independente et déterminée, laissant derrière elle la petite fille effrayée et sensible qu'elle était dans Shatter me. Elle est prète à se battre pour une cause qui lui semble juste, et sa force de caractère m'a laissée bouche bée, sans parler de l'histoire d'amour qui commence entre elle et Warner.
Pour être honnête, je suis presque triste qu''il n'y ai pas d'autres tomes, Juliette était un personnage si attachant que ça va être difficile de m'en «séparer».
LES PERSONAGES:
Kenji est très drôle comme toujours et il m'a beaucoup fait rire, encore plus que dans les autres tomes.
James est tout simplement adorable et m'a fait éclater de rire avec ses petite remarques innocentes.
Juliette, comme je l'ai dis plus tôt, se transforme et devient prête à se battre, cela nous change de la petite fille qui ne voulait faire de mal à personne; ce n'est pas qu'elle devient méchante: elle découvre simplement sa véritable personnalité qui est plus «vivante» que celle qu'elle croyait avoir.
Adam, toujours le même jeune homme sensible, va voir sa relation avec Juliette changer...vous verrez de quelle façon en lisant...
Warner mon personnage préféré (avec Juliette) est beaucoup plus présent que dans les autres tomes. On en apprend plus sur son passé, j'ai adoré sa complexité; c'est un personnage partagé, il est ici un allié à la révolte, ce qui va permettre à ses relations avec Juliette de changer (je ne dis pas comment).
POUR CONCLURE, ce livre est un de mes préférés, il m'a laissé avec une sorte de mélancolie, car j'aimerais qu'il y ai plus de tomes. Je ne vais rien vous dire sur la fin si ce n'est qu'elle est parfaitement mise en phrases. Je ne vous dirais pas non-plus qui Juliette a choisi, mais sachez que son choix est réfléchit.
Achetez ce livre, vous ne serez pas déçus.

Great End

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 6 mai 2015

"In a world where there is so much to grieve and so little good to take? I grieve nothing. I take everything."

And it's over! I feel like I just got into this story and now it ended. I need more. A prequel, a spinoff, another novella (maybe from Kenji), ANYTHING! I so desperately need more of this world, more these powers, more Warner!

But alas it over and I am left grieving for yet another finished series.

Whenever a series ends I kind of just sit around for a day or two to re-read all my favorite scenes and get my life together. But this series? It's killing me. Maybe it was because I read the books and the novellas back to back. Maybe it was because it ended just as I was starting to really love the characters. All I know is that I want more.

So anyway this takes place days after Unravel Me ends. Juliette is now with Warner and the few surviving members of Omega Point are hidden away. But in order to defeat the evil commander Anderson they must reunite and team up with an unlikely ally; Warner.

DO NOT READ BEYOND THIS POINT UNLESS YOU'VE EITHER READ IT OR WANT TO BE SPOILED!!!!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!

Since this is the end of a series and I have a lot of pent up feelings inside of me I'm just going to vent them out. That also means that I'm going to rant and probably make a lot of Team Warner comments. Here we go.

The book starts with the main characters divided and thinking that the other is dead. I am so glad that was cleared up quick because it would only have dragged the story on and serve to make more problems than solutions. Thankfully this dives quickly into the thick of it having our characters regroup and form a plan to take down the Reestablishment.

When Juliette goes to Adam's house to make the plan everyone is all happy to see her alive, all except Adam. Honestly, throughout this entire book I rally just wanted Adam to fall off a cliff and die. So Juliette shows up and Adam starts screaming at her. He tells her that she is a terrible person and that he would rather she be dead. Really? Who says that to a person they claim they love. Then he talks about their relationship even after she already broke up with him like twice and then kicks her out of his house. You have no idea the satisfaction I felt when he ended up living at Warner's house or his "ex-girlfriends new boyfriend's bachelor pad" as he called it. I wanted him to feel horrible because the same girl he kicked out of his s***ty house was the reason he didn't freeze or starve to death along with his little brother. Also, I really wanted to see Warner walk in and punch him in the face. That would have made me happy.

Anyway so the all move into Warner's personal training facility and begin training there and planning for the war. And I must say that I love this about Warner. He is always pushing Juliette to do more, to be more. I love when he teaches her to fight, when he gives her a gun, when he doesn't question her judgment or abilities. While Adam is putting her down making her feel weak, Warner is lifting her up making her feel strong. I love how when Juliette first tell Warner that she plans on taking down the Reestablishment. Warner starts laughing but it's not at her. He knows that she can do this and instead of changing her mind, asks if she would like help. I love the confidence he gives her. This happens again when Juliette and Adam are arguing where Adam asks Warner if he'd like to step in and he responds saying that Juliette doesn't need his help. This is why I knew that she had to end with Warner. He believes in her.

While training a lot of things happen and a lot of deep heartfelt moments occurred. One of the being when Juliette finds out that wait for it... she can now touch people! I loved that she could now truly live and be happy. Another when Kenji starts talking about his feelings. By the way I love Kenji in this book, he cracked me up! He is a far deeper, serious yet hilarious character than I first gave him credit for.

Then finally after all that training they manage to convince all the sector 45 soldiers and civilians onto their side and go to war. This war could have lasted longer. It's like the last few chapters and since Juliette didn't go to war we don't even get to see what happened. All that happen is that they get to the boat where Anderson is and Juliette manages to shoot him. "Twice. Once or Adam. Once for Warner." That is literally what it says. Then it ends. It's just over. Kenji is injured and unconscious, Anderson is dead, there are dead bodies everywhere, their side of the world is saved and that's how it ends. Warner and Juliette looking out at the world from a roof. That's it. That is it!?!?!?!?

I'm so angry! I was expecting an actual ending, not this crap! I needed an actual conclusion. At the very least an epilogue. But no. I have to settle for this. Also I think it should have been Warner who kills his father, as payback for all the both physical and psychological scars.

In the end though I really did like this book and it's characters. Most characters undergo some form of growth in books but none like Juliette and her companions. Their development was slow and we only got to see bits and pieces at a time. While some characters peak after they have gained some strength Juliette never stops growing. She always wants to do more and be better and push herself as far as she can go.

Adam and Warner also changed. With Adam it is true that you don't really know a person until you see them is a tough spot. And I must say that Adam is a pretty horrible person deep down. No let me rephrase that, he's not a horrible person, just a horrible love interest (who deserves to fall of a cliff and die). Seriously though, he was always whining and crying and always making a scene. It was obvious that everyone around him was just done with him. I bet even James was done with his BS. When Juliette said she had to break up with him a third time, you could just tell she was done. Finished. Its like he didn't know how or when to shut up and it was annoying.

Now Warner. My dear, beautiful Warner. I love learning new things about him as his is probably the most interesting back story of all. I would love a detailed retelling of his past. He is yet again shown to be loving and kind and caring in ways that even Adam was not. At one point Juliette wonders if Adam would save her life or let her die if given the chance while knowing for a fact that Warner would save her all over again. Then that scene with his mother being dead? That scene killed me! I have never so radically changed my opinion on a character. He is truly such a good man and I'm so glad Juliette got her crap together and finally loved him. This is the first time I have done a complete 180 turn and seen a character in a new light. In book one I hated him and compared him to all kinds of things. Now I love him and am team Warner all the way.

But seriously, is anyone even Team Adam anymore?

But before I wrap up there are just a couple of things. Things that were never explained or that are just plain bothering me.
1. His mom has powers? WTF?
2. How come Warner can't touch her though he can touch Juliette.
3. Delalieu is Warner's grandfather! WTF, again!?!?
4. Why was Delalieu not sad when Warner's mom died?
5. Did Anderson have powers too?
6. What's with the bird symbolism? Is that it? Warner is the bird? That is a little to convenient so I'm calling it BS.
7. Was it really that easy to win a war?

Other than that I really enjoyed reading this books and regret not jumping on the bandwagon much sooner. I wish there is more of this story in the future or some kind of continuation. I am now willing to read just about anything Tahereh Mafi writes

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 5 juin 2014

I read Shatter Me, the first book in the series, two years ago. I ate it up. Although I was on vacation at the time, my nose was constantly jammed into that book. It was a fantastic read, and I have rarely found a book that encapsulated me so. Juliette’s heartbreaking story, and her new-found solace in Adam, made it a beautiful and compelling story that I quite literally could not put down. It was a simply fantastic book.
At the time I read Shatter Me, no other books in the series had come out yet, so I finished the book and moved on with my life. Only recently did I even learn that it had become a series, and I was reluctant to get back into it because of my reservations about the originality of the story. However, I was convinced to give the series another try, and so I did.
I was instantly blown away by the writing style the author used. It was powerful and moving, getting the point across in a way that was interesting and thought provoking to read. The author has a very strong voice, although at times it was overly dramatic (but this was mostly when Juliette was dealing with Adam.) The story line was brilliantly paced, and there was never a point where the book was slow or boring to read. However, it wasn’t constantly in motion with action on every page. It was a good balance at a comfortable pace.
The character development throughout the series was perfect. We watch Juliette go from a scared little girl to a strong, brave, powerful, independent young woman. We watch Adam go from a kind, gentle, affectionate boyfriend to a hateful, relentless, and eventually submissive ex. We see Warner, in Juliette’s (and our own) eyes, go from a sick, evil captor to a misunderstood, broken but still loving man who saved Juliette’s life even after she broke his heart. But like in all stories, there are characters who change, and ones who stay the same. Characters like James, Kenji, Castle, and Anderson are static characters, and their presence in the story is just as powerful as the dynamic ones. The author brilliantly found the perfect balance of static and dynamic to create a cast of characters that get our emotions flowing.
The evolution of the relationships in this story is gold. First we have Juliette and Adam. As mentioned before, their relationship turns toxic and she realizes that he is no longer what she needs, and vice versa. Then there is Juliette and Warner. She doesn’t want to admit her feelings for him because she is still confused about Adam; but she knows deep down that Adam was her past, and Warner is her future. When she finally admits that she loves him, it is a beautiful thing that they create, and I don’t know about other readers, but it left me wanting more about their relationship.
Aside from romantic relationships, there is the relationship between Juliette and Kenji. He was the main comic relief in the series, and it was much needed. The story would have been much less fun to read if he had not been a part of it. Kenji and Juliette’s friendship was such an adorable thing, and the fact that they become closer in Ignite Me makes it even better. Not to mention that Kenji was totally hilarious and had me laughing out loud at several points in the series. And then there was James and his relationship with everyone. With Juliette, he was always loving, as children often are. He was loving to everyone, but his love was of special significance to Juliette because she had spent her whole life knowing that she terrified people. The fact that James, young and vulnerable, so openly accepted her was a beautiful thing.
His brotherly bond with Kenji was very touching and brought out the softer and less foul-mouthed side of Kenji. James wasn’t innocent to the world, but he didn’t let it make him hateful. Instead of harboring the pain inside him and letting it rot there, he chose to be resilient, as children often do. When you see James and Warner together, it is very interesting to see how he reacts to James’ blunt questions. Warner isn’t irritated or offended, and he answers honestly to every question. James seems to bring out the best in everybody, even Warner.
But perhaps the most interesting relationships to study would be between Warner and the other characters. With Juliette, he is openly affectionate and willing to do anything to make her happy. With the remaining group from Omega Point, he is honest about the fact that he cares nothing for them; but he harbors them anyway, because he cares for Juliette and she cares for them. Warner’s relationship with Adam is filled with hate on both sides, until the end of the book when Warner learns of their shared blood. Then, he is willing to let down his pride and anger in order to bond with the only family he has left.
But the most important relationship to the story is between Juliette and herself. She grew up believing that she was a monster, that she deserved to be locked up in her cell. When she meets Adam, she begins to see herself as more than that, but her self-esteem is entirely built on him. After they discover that she can hurt Adam, she begins to see herself as a monster again, and she starts to spiral back down to what she used to be when she was in the asylum. But then she trains with Kenji and discovers what she’s capable of and you see her confidence rising again, this time not based on another person. She has relapses of insecurity whenever Adam tries to get her back, but she stays strong.
From then on, she is powerful and confident, and she begins to see her powers not as a curse, but as something she can use to her advantage. We finally see her step into her full self, the person she was always meant to become. And that is the lesson we can learn from Juliette. We all have our demons. The ones that chase us, make us afraid and vulnerable and the ones that make us question whether we even deserve to live. The ones that demean our self-worth, make us see ourselves as nothing more than a sorry waste of oxygen. Just like Warner’s tattoo says, Hell is empty and all the demons are here. But Juliette made a choice, and we can make the same one. We can choose to not become our demons. We can choose to make them our powers, to use them for our advantage. We can use them to make ourselves strong. And when we do, and the whole world seems to want to come down on us, we can quote Juliette and say, “’I’d like to see them try.”
That is what a great author does. They give us characters that we can relate to, and that make us think about our lives and the things we can do to change everything. That is why I believe that this series is one of the most brilliant ones that I have ever read. So kudos to Tahereh Mafi for not only giving us a great story, but giving us a story with meaning that we can take into our own lives. This series will forever be close to my heart for that very reason.

LOVED IT!

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 19 février 2014

Oh my Shatter Me series heart, I LOVED this book! Like I'd make out with this book... okay maybe not that, but I seriously loved this book so much.

The shortened review:

Oh my Warner heart! This book is AWESOME!! I have so many Shatter Me series feelings right now I don't even know what else to say other than GO GET THIS BOOK! Mafi has render me speechless right now. I don't even know what else to say at the moment without sounding like a Shatter Me fangirl who can't stop rambling about how awesome this book is.

The REAL review: Do NOT read this review if you have not read the rest of the series *slight spoilers*

Tahereh Mafi is a writing goddess, or maybe she has that secret talent I like to call writing brilliance. Whatever you want to call it, Mafi has it. There's no other way to explain the awesomeness of IGNITE ME! This book literally ignited all those feelings I tried so hard to keep in while reading this book, but failed miserably at doing. I snort laughed, sighed, swooned, teared up, and laughed until I was crying. This book is nothing but awesome! Literally.

Juliette grows up a lot in this book. I admired the fierce, determined heroine she becomes. Tahereh does a brilliant job at showing her struggles with overcoming her preescptions of Warner, Adam, and herself, as well as situations that lead her to where she is now. The realization of how wrong her presceptions have been is a hard thing for her to accept. It was what was driving her, and now everything she thought she knew is wrong. I liked getting to see her struggle with that. Because now Juliette has to figure out where she stands, what she's going to do, and figure out her heart's desire. For the first time in her life, Juilette has never been more free to be herself. More free to make her own decisions, and to follow her heart. It's empowering to be free. Seeing Juliette accept that and embrace that freedom was bitter sweet, and oh so fabulous all at the same time. I loved that Tahereh showed me, vs telling me about her struggles. It's what emotionally gripped me with the story.

If you read Unravel Me, then it's no spoiler about where Juliette and Adam now stand. Seeing her battle over her feelings of how things used to be to how things are now between the two was heartbreaking, but incredibly empowering at the same time. Anyone who's had a first love and a first heartbreak will understand exactly what Juliette is going through. I did. Along with that, you'll also understand her hope for where things can go for her and Warner. Understanding the differences in how Juliette felt about Adam and Warner were well established and discussed in this book. It was perfect. It made sense to see and understand the changes in her feelings for both guys. I loved that I got to see that. Not only with her, but with Warner and Adam as well. There's a conversation between Juliette and Kenji about the changes that I loved in this book, as well as the inner thoughts Juliette has as she sorts out her feelings, and the truths of what she's learning. I admire the fact that Mafi didn't rush these feelings and emotions. Everything that unravels in this book has been built up and hinted at in the previous books/novellas in this series. I loved how everything happens in this book.

I've said this from the get go, I LOVE WARNER! I just have to say, I KNEW IT!!!! I knew there was so much more to him than we have previously seen, and now we get to see more of who Warner really is. I swear I fell in love with this Warner as much as Juliette. Like her, he's broken, stronger, fiercely determined, and totally vulnerable. Then there's the swoon worthy factor. Oh my Warner. Talk about igniting things.... Warner knows how to ignite a slow burning fire that literally melts the pages. Mafi writes these sizzling moments between Juliette and Warner perfectly! I love what she gave us on the page, and what gets taken off the page. When you read those scenes you'll know what I mean. It was perfect.

Ignite Me is full of passion, tension, and action. I love it when an author can emotionally pull me into their book. Between the threat of war, the desolation that is evident at times, and then friction between a few characters I found my self fidgety and literally on edge. I felt like I was about ready to snap in two at times with the mounting tension. Leave it up to Kenji make me laugh so hard I'm crying during those times. He can make those tension mounting scenes laughable. His lines are by far the best in this book. No other character has made me laugh out loud as much as he did. I swear if Mafi published a Kenji quote book, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. He at times reminds me of the things my brothers would say. I love that brotherly love he has for Juliette. These two have such a great, real, best friend chemistry. I loved the scenes when these two were together. Who wouldn't want a best friend like him?! Kenji is by far one of my all time favorite literally secondary characters!

I thoroughly enjoyed how everything that has been set up in the previous two books in this series played out in IGNITE ME. It was brilliant! Looking back at everything the has previously happened, it all made sense now at the course of action some of the characters took, and the direction the story went. Tahereh was still able to throw in some great twists, but everything from the romance, the action, the friendships, and shocking truths all made sense. Everything in the other first two books lead up to everything that takes place in this book. To me, nothing, even down to who Juliette gives her heart to, was shocking to me, because of how well Tahereh set up the over all series's plot. It was perfect!

IGNITE ME is the perfect ending for a series I am so sad to say good bye to. Now that I have so many Shatter Me series feelings, you'll find me curled up on the couch re-reading Ignite Me over and over again.
