It's really hard being in Warner's head, not because it's irritating (ok, sometimes it is) but because he has so much going on in there. Like the doubts and anxiety was really relatable and I felt very bad for him. But this is an Imagine Me book review, so let’s talk about the book because gosh knows I can spend all day talking about how much I love Tahereh’s writing. I really could. 😅 This is one of the best series I have read but the last book was just okay and may be I had great expectations from it since it was the last and also because the previous 5 books were amazing. But so far this is my least favourite book and I did enjoyed it but just not the way I thought I would. The beginning of this book was chaotic and there was darkness and death and war and madness. While the start got me exciting for what was about to come, the middle part where they all were planning for the war against the The Reestablishment was boring. Although I'm satisfied with how the events turned out in the end and how Kenji and Aaron amd Nazeera fought together against The Reestablishment and their parents. Es de personas mal agradecidas obtener más de lo que mereces y darte lo que tu corazón tanto anhela, y no disfrutarlo o ser agradecida. Porque eso fue lo que fue este libro, un gran regalo de la autora a nosotros.
I love these two adorable dorks even though they were side characters they were just so cute and wow they are finally together and I was waiting for it to happen since Book 2. It was endearing seeing how Winston blushes when Brendan is near 💗 Imagine Me” hoping for a great ending and getting THIS and... A DOG!!! Not even a wedding but a freaking dog??! I understand why Tahereh wrote that scene but I really would have rather wanted to read their wedding scene! Damn it! juliette and warner. my otp. my forever favorite couple. we got the closure in believe me that we all wanted to get in imagine me. it was the perfect ending for this series and i couldn’t be more happier or sad to have read this book. I remind myself that we’re indoors—the white walls, the concrete floor under my feet—and I look up at my mother, confused. What was all that for? What were the 6 books + 4 novellas for if not a wedding between two people who have madly been in love since their childhood so they can finally tie the knot and enjoy their fresh start in a relationship of TRUST and RESPECT? But nope, Mafi decided that she had to add some dramatic crap for the sake of angst. WarnerJuliette (or AaronElla whatever) is the kind of couple readers are supposed to love because their bond is incredibly strong, and they see each other as an equal. But of course, Miss Juliette Ferrars decided to, as the great partner she is, to HIDE that the wedding was postponed (by her wish) to Warner aka her FUTURE HUSBAND and the groom, not to mention for a stupid reason. But that's not all, Juliette literally went on to tell everyone of the Sanctuary about the decision but the groom. And yes, it was Sam's wife (whatever her name is) who told Warner about Juliette's wish. Does that look like mutual respect to you? And all of that is for what? For the wedding? What wedding?I fell in love with shatter me in the far away 2011. I loved the magical writing and the complexity of the characters. I would've never though that this day would come. The day where I had to say "I hate it." I’m sorry to say it but I can’t give this more than 2,5 stars rounded up to 3. (I really wish we’d have half-stars here because 2,5 would be way more accurate than 3.) 2,5 stars because otherwise it would feel like I’d let Tahereh get away with this disaster of a book and someone has to speak the truth. As a huge fan of this series my heart is bleeding but I stand by my opinion! #SorryNotSorry It’s the sound of tearing flesh, an innocuous sound that reminds me of ripping open an orange.” (pg. 385) First, was how she gave away their location to Anderson and the Reestablishment bad guys. They needed to have a plan to move, but Kenji was adamant that they wait for Juliette to wake up to make their plans. And in the meantime, I just thought it was hilarious how they drank tea and chatted like this was some sort of high tea with the queen moment. But it was a good moment away from all the actions and pain, so I liked it. It was cute how Winston and Brendan were still flirting and Kenji was teasing them endlessly for it, or how Kenji was avoiding Nazeera because he was scared to talk to her. I still don’t understand their relationship 😂. there's genuinely nothing i liked about this book. i read it very fast but like...i can't give you any positives. the plot was A MESS. something happened in the beginning that just felt like it came out of nowhere, and then all of a sudden, that was the storyline?? it was just so weird. and we were BARELY in juliette's pov. even when we were, it didn't feel like juliette. i do love kenji, but it wasn't the same. and there was no warner pov, which i hated.
I am even more confused by the ending. It didn't feel like an ending. Not only did it feel rushed and like we didn't actually solve all the problems, but I also have so many questions about it. There are so many loose threads and things that just sort of never get mentioned again. There is so much that was ignored about the ending in favor of a cute epilogue. And even the epilogue didn’t feel finished!! I want you to know that I know that and that I see you...I want to give you peace. I want to give you a home. With me." Mum looks up, nods at someone behind me. I turn around just in time to spot Paris, Mr. Anderson, waiting with my suitcase. There’s no kindness in his eyes. No warmth at all. He turns away from me, looks at Mum. He doesn’t say hello.As such, the romance in Shatter Me is all very PG-13. There is no smut or explicitly sexual content. I stiffen against the nausea that precedes a vision, the sudden punch to the gut that means there’s more, there’s more, there’s always more. Is it some kind of perverse revenge?" I ask, "Are you trying to prevent my wedding because I won't let you bring in civilians? Because I refuse to put Juliette's life in jeopardy?" I feel like we also got some Warner character growth in here, which was great to see. It's so cool seeing him finally making more connections with people 🥰🥰
i feel as though i have underestimated my love for warnette, everything i felt for them before was nothing compared to my absolute love for them now.I thought it was kind of comical that Juliette found him attractive because it made him HIGHLY uncomfortable. But it was also weird because Anderson, attractive? I mean, I bet he has to be if he’s “the man who spawned the two faces she’s known most intimately” (pg. 246). Still, it’s not like I think Anderson’s attractive. He has a cruel cruel heart. Juliette make him squirm in his uncomfortableness 😆! It felt disgusting how she was drawn to him and told him how he was “extremely handsome.” If this was the real Juliette, that would be the last thing that would come out her mouth! I´m going to marry you today. And then I´m going to make love to you until can´t remember your name. I am very glad about it because this novel was nothing at all like anything I could have possibly imagined. Sometimes I am so desperate for quiet that I think I might commit murder for a moment of silence. Instead, I shut down incrementally as I'm able."
I also loved those adorable moments between Aaron and dog. They were so cute and that dog was definitely a fan of Aaron. But nothing learned within the novellas is crucial to the plot of the main series. They’ll only provide extra details that make the novels more impactful. I'm going to pretend that this trilogy doesn't exist and Warner and Juliette in Ignite Me lived happily ever after. Though I SUPPOSE the upside to this extra trilogy is Kenji and Nazeera. But I will tell myself they met after Ignite Me and fell in love. Let me live in my imagination.But now, in the wake of a narrow escape, this gift has become a curse. Every hour my mind is reborn. Altered. The memories keep coming. Seeing what happened after the events of Imagine Me. It was nice seeing the aftermath and having an idea of how the characters are doing 🥰🥰 Kenji carried this book. No, he carried this entire trilogy. He's so kind, caring, funny, and trying to make light of dark moments but Warner has to be all moody and brooding and threatening to kill him literally any chance he got. Kenji cares so much about Juliette (don't ask me why, I've got no idea) and he risked his life to save her, which I admire. I will forever be a Kenji lover. I need a Kenji and Nazeera spin off. And also, for people who definitely have lots of opinions about rebuilding a post-destruction world (to the point that they insulted Warner because apparently, he has been making "bad" decisions,) people of the Sanctuary chose a leader who had the worst leading tactics and strategies ever.
