We also get to re-see the world of the Reestablishment and realize just how little Juliette knows about the world she was hidden from and is now trying to change. We get the chance to see how our favorite characters are holding up now that Sector 45 is under their control. Shatter Me, for instance, builds up the world of the Reestablishment, builds in our heads how we should see Juliette, Warner, and Adam, and is the rising actions that lead to the climax of Unravel Me and the resolution in Ignite Me.

Not only does each book contain it’s own rising actions, climax, and resolution, but each book plays a part in that trio as well. I’ve spent the past week in preparation for this book by rereading the entirety of the series, and there is a pattern to Tahereh Mafi’s glorious madness. In hate because I am not sure that I can handle the wait for the next book after that ending. In love because I just revisited my sweet Warner, my strong Juliette, and my insufferably charming Kenji. In short, I am in love and in hate all at once. “Īshley: This book deserves all the stars plucked straight from the universe- if only to be placed in the gaping chests of its readers, to restore the hearts it shatters in every single way.

And when I meet her eyes the feeling overwhelms me, threatens to drown me. That she wants me just as much as I want her. To remind myself that she’s really here, really mine. Before we begin this review, don’t forget to check out our recaps of Shatter Me, Unravel Me, and Ignite Me!
