It fits in perfectly with her character and shows some honest truth that even her, the narrator, wants to hide from herself.Īnd not only is the writing beautiful, but so are the covers! I love everything about these books and I was psyched to see that there are two little novellas slotted into this series, one from Warner’s perspective (omg Warner) and Adam’s perspective. The writing flowed so well and it has the quality of literally reading Juliette’s thoughts, so if she thinks something but decides she didn’t want to really say that (though she meant to) it’s crossed out. The characters are absolutely amazing – each and every one of them, but the writing my god is so moreish! I couldn’t stop reading and I just wanted to start the next chapter and the next and the next and the next. The world is in chaos and the Reestablishment has taken over who, incidentally, want to use Juliette as a weapon.

Hype over books can be a good and a bad thing.īut why oh WHY didn’t I pick up Shatter Me sooner?! It’s a brilliant dystopian written from the perspective of Juliette, a person with the power to kill just by her touch which has resulted in her being locked up in an asylum. It’s been on my TBR list for ages but I just never got round to reading it! Plus, whenever something is really hyped up, it sort of puts me off sometimes because I think I might go into the story expecting too much from the book and if it doesn’t deliver, it’s always a bit disappointing. I had such an experience with the Shatter Me trilogy. We all have some book series on our TBRs, a series you’ve heard amazing things about and you keep telling yourself that you need to read it, but of course the time just never comes for some reason and before you know it, it’s months and maybe years later until you finally pick it up.
