~ Book Review : Ignite Me ~

Book Eleven : Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi

WARNING : DO NOT READ THIS REVIEW IF YOU HAVE NOT READ BOOK ONE OR BOOK TWO click here to read my review on Shatter Me (book one) or click her to read my review on Unravel Me (book two)

I've always known, deep down, who should be leading this resistance. I've felt it quietly for some time now, always too scared to bring the words to my lips. Someone who's got nothing left to lose and everything to gain. Someone who is no longer afraid of anyone. 
Not Castle. Not Kenji. Not Adam, Not even Warner.
It should be me.

The heart-stopping conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series, which Ransom Riggs, bestselling author of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, called "a thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and forbidden love"

Juliette now knows she may be the only one who can stop the Reestablishment. But to take them down, she'll need the help of the one person she never thought she could trust: Warner. And as they work together, Juliette will discover that everything she thought she knew-about Warner, her abilities, and even Adam-was wrong.

My Thoughts : THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING!!! This is everything I love in a book. It was intense, romantic, easy to get lost in, and had the most perfect ending. I really disliked Juliette in book two but she quickly became one of my favourite female characters of all time. She was so strong! Juliette was determined to never let fear run her life again. She didn't want to hide anymore, she wanted to be free. Her character growth was outstanding and inspiring. I loved that she realized that she always had to power to break free. And she kicked some serious butt in this book!

Warner - I have grown to really love Warner over the course of these books, especially in his novella, Destroy Me. I was unsure what to make of him in Unravel Me but Mafi did an excellent job at bringing a likability to him. I understood better, in this book, why Juliette was so drawn to him. Why she would end up choosing him over Adam. Warner made Juliette better, stronger. He allowed her to believe in herself. I also really love the way Warner reacted to finding out Adam was his brother. This book was just so perfect.

Adam - As we all know, I have a soft spot for Adam. I understood him and the choices he made. I felt his hurt and pain. I wasn't upset with how the story went in Ignite Me, even if I was rooting for Adam. I still love Adam! I'm glad he was more relaxed and likable towards the end of this book. 

Kenji - Every book needs a character like Kenji. He bought the much needed comic relief to this book. I loved the relationship between him and Juliette. It was really beautiful to read. I want a best friend like Kenji!

I have marked my book in so many places because I loved all of it; however, I think my favourite scene was when Warner tells Juliette that she deserves to live, that she deserves to be alive. Yep, I melted away in that moment. Every girl needs a guy who believes in her. And, of course, the scene with Juliette and Anderson was equally amazing. I'm so happy the fight scene wasn't drawn out. I loved how it was written.

This book truly was phenomenal! I could not put it down. I was happy with the way the story went and felt statisfied at the end. I would recommend this book to everyone thirteen and over. It has enough action for the guys and plenty of romance for the girls. Some scenes did get a little steamy but nothing about pg13.
