Shatter me order to read12/31/2023 Two shattered windows filling my mouth with glass.” “The sky is raining bricks right into my skull.” “My words wear no parachutes as they fall out of my mouth” Some of the lines had me stopping like really?! Why oh why? That makes no sense and is actually quite disturbing. It was too much for me, too poetic and struck me as trying too hard and failing. I remember when I first read Shatter Me I was intrigued by the idea but a little put of by Tahereh Mafi’s writing style. The books are worth buying just to have such gorgeousness on my bookshelf. ![]() Hats off to whoever designed these beauties. I would never say that is a post apocalyptic seriesįirst of all I absolutely have to mention… THE COVERS. She monopolized every Romance idea to the extant that she sacrificed the plot She knew exactly what would appeal to young adults especially teenagers What the hell was the purpose of this plot twist?įinally, i just want to add that Tahere is a very smart writer Oh my god! Just thinking of this one made my stomach turnĪnd what next? Wait for James to be of age? The idea that Julliette is attracted to the Anderson DNA Which brings me to the final point of why I hated this book Nazeera was way way a better female representation than J. I was like "at least she did something" only for Tahere to throw this out the window in the next bookĪnd I hated her when she saw her sister (a twist that was just thrown there for no reason except week writing) in the hurtful condition but forgot about her the minute Warner comes to her rescue The only time I felt she had a little punk is when i thought she killed all the representitives. I found myself laughing at every scene that featured J.Īt one point she was like "I have to show everyone I am strong! I know what to do! I'll shave off my hair" □□ Well sweetheart, so did everone else in this series even your precious Warner, but you dont see them cower in the corner refusing to participate! She is a whiny cry baby who wants everyone to excuse her because she had "trauma" Yes she has this fatal power, but the only 2 times we see her use it ione by accident and the other when she kills her sister!!! That could convince me that Julliette is a strong FL The white blond and Warner a POC.bec as it is, it showed her white man hero complex Now Kenji is in the center and a bunch of other character whom i forgot their names but somehow deserved their own chaptersĪnd I loved Nazeera more (she gets a special mention)īut why all of a sudden they became the main characters?ģ- Tahere is a Muslim female writer. He is a bad son (couldnt save his mother but went against his father for his gf)īad brother (couldnt even make a connection)īut hey, at least he is willing to let J do whatever she wants which was basically nothingīut this is not surprising since both Acotar and shatter me got the idea from a Turkish novel "Heart Beats"Ģ- by book 3 we get the feeling that Tahere is bored of J &W cause now she has other important thing to focus on, her POC characters ![]() So now we hate Adam and root for Warner whose ONLY redeeming quality is loving J. Into the fold and not understanding the trauma Adam went through? Oh no how could he shout at poor defenssless J who needed the blond guy to rescue her!!!! Who promised him to be togetherīut do we excuse him for shouting at J. ![]() but the obvious immitation was the ACOTAR theme of hating on the first love interest to make way for the grey red flag character Like any dark romance mafia, Tahere set out to make Warner the ultimate book boyfriend Puts her in jail to suffer for almost a year, stalk her in jail, tries to force her to do things, makes her believe she killed a child, corners her, wouldnt take no for an answer so she had to shoot him Warner is depicted like any other supposedly dreamy boy (tall, blonde, strong, smart.) the perfect perfection.or is he? ![]() Jullietts "i am not insane" repeated over and over is immitating Carden's letter to Jude in the Cruel Prince (I also remember seeing the same thing in another older book but cant remember the name) + ONE BIIIG ISSUE THAT DESERVES ITS OWN MENTIONġ- there was a sense of deja vu while I was reading the series (where did I read this before?) So my issue with this book falls under 4 areasġ-cheap immitation of other books especially ACOTAR So I'll just dive on the reasons why I HATED this bookīut just a warning, possible spoilers ahead I am not going to retell the summary, by now almost everyone knows it Just because I was told it gets better and because I was promised a strong Female lead (a unicorn amongst books□) Well! here I am ready to be backhandled for hating this seriesįirst let me say that I've read the whole series even the novellas
