She’s definitely toned down the metaphors from the first three books, and seems to have found a balance between description and action. There is no sense of communication with this couple, and somehow everything is perfect again the moment they are in each other’s arms. And so typical for him he even bothers to explain it with his special brand of sophisticated dignity and poise! But he shatters her heart when he reveals that he’s been keeping secrets about her family and her identity from her—secrets that change everything. The group is taken to their quarters, and Ella and Aaron have a lovely time together, and Aaron proposes to Ella, despite warnings from Kenji that he should get her a ring.
Also, the fact that afterward Kenji waltzes in the room while they’re both half naked is just so out of character. As for Warner, he’s a total cinnamon roll of a boy at heart and when it comes to Juliette–I just want to scream it from the rooftops. Their love is all consuming like they crave for each other but so beautiful and this book solidified the fact that will always and ALWAYS find each other. Tahereh Mafi is the New York Times bestselling author of the Shatter Me series which has been published in over 30 languages around the world.
This is the perfect moment to realize how so many YA novels (or film/tv shows) often have the “bad boy” want to change for the girl and refuses to if she won’t be with him or if she’s dead or whatever.
Not only nothing happens till 70% in (at a point where you actually just want it to be over), and there is an unnecessary flashback every other chapter, but all the chapters also end with the characters fainting, collapsing, being injected something, attacked. Juliette and Warner’s relationship was built up over the course of three fantastic books (the original trilogy), and as they got to know each other there and fell in love, I loved them. Although split POV works well when characters are together, the three of them were all doing different things and the plot kept jumping around between them so much that I stopped caring about any of them.I know books in series should stop and give you an idea of the previous books, but still, the number of times that characters stopped and asked such clunky rhetorical questions and had paragraphs-long recaps of stuff we already know just became disappointing. I love that even when you think you know where Tahereh is taking the story she complete shocks and surprises you with the direction she does go in. I mean I’m pretty sure about 90% of my friends on here would say I’m a funny and cheerful person, but that doesn’t mean that I’m always like that.
Suddenly, the plane’s engines are shot out, and Ella comes up with a plan–Nazeera can fly, and Warner can use Nazeera’s powers to help them fly as well. I find it too good to be true so I won’t assume too much because Tahereh Mafi might break my heart in the last book. XD I loved the quote above because it connects us right with the first book and this was done really masterfully! Obviously she’s my favourite character from the series, but damn, I thought she reached peak character development in Ignite Me. She was born in a small city somewhere in Connecticut and currently resides in Santa Monica, California, with her husband, Ransom Riggs, fellow best-selling author of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, and their young daughter.I don’t know how to explain this but I was kind of disappointed by how it all turned out, yet at the same time I was going with the flow and enjoyed many scenes and parts of the book. Warner comes to the realization that he cannot live with out her, and is about to ask her a question when Kenji interrupts them. I know that all hell is going to break loose as soon as I open “Imagine Me” and I’m so scared of reading what will happen. I remember being annoyed with her initially but that’s the beauty of reading a 5 to 7 book series, you get the chance to watch the characters get better or become worse. But between the first book and now, we’ve learned so much about his abusive childhood, how he was literally tortured constantly.
And now, all of that is undone and they’re just fugitives with secret powers in prison while the Reestablishment is in control again and we’ve regressed and why was that necessary? And here comes another warning: My characters section is full of spoilers and to read through it might kill some of your enjoyment when you actually read the book.but warner fans will be over the moon with this installment (which totally should have been a side novella, but hey, what do i know? Featuring 9 books, Tahereh Mafi has had readers obsessing over her epic, binge-worthy YA fantasy/dystopia series.
Great Deal
