Goodreads Synopsis: 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.”
With Omega Point destroyed, Juliette doesn’t know if the rebels, her friends, or even Adam are alive. But that won’t keep her from trying to take down The Reestablishment once and for all. Now she must rely on Warner, the handsome commander of Sector 45. The one person she never thought she could trust. The same person who saved her life. He promises to help Juliette master her powers and save their dying world . . . but that’s not all he wants with her.
The Shatter Me series is perfect for fans who crave action-packed young adult novels with tantalizing romance like Divergent by Veronica Roth, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and Legend by Marie Lu. Tahereh Mafi has created a captivating and original story that combines the best of dystopian and paranormal, and was praised by Publishers Weekly as “a gripping read from an author who’s not afraid to take risks.” Now this final book brings the series to a shocking and satisfying end.
Hands down to Tahereh Mafi! I really love her writing style. Her metaphors are just so unique. Her words just hits me you know.

One of the things that I really love when reading books is watching the characters grow. Juliette has been living in fear and holding her powers back because she's afraid of hurting any one. But now, Juliette is ready to fight back. She's done being afraid. She's ready to get revenge. She's also determined to lead the country. She's so done with the Reestablishment. Go Juliette!!
The love triangle in the Shatter Me series is probably my favorite love triangle ever. Even though I knew that it was never going to work between Adam and Juliette I still hoped it would work. Mainly because Adam's a nice guy but Juliette can't possibly be with Adam. There's always a catch when she's with him. Adam is really protective but sometimes his protectiveness can be really restraining. I can't blame him for being what he is around Juliette because he waited for a long time to be with her but Juliette doesn't need someone like Adam. She needs someone that would help her embrace who she is and be strong. Someone like Warner. I always knew there was something good in Warner. I always knew that there was a reason why he is what is. Warner encourages Juliette to be strong and to use her powers to her advantage. I loved how Warner believed in Juliette so much. He's always truly passionate with every thing he does. The people around him just misunderstands him a lot. I think Juliette and Warner saved each other. They needed each other. They needed someone who could make them stronger and believe in their selves.
And oh my god okay Chapters 55-58!! Juliette and Warner's moments together!!! It's so freaking sweet and hot. I cried and squealed because what they said to each other in those pages are just the right words and it's perfect. TEAM WARNER!!! Thank you Tahereh Mafi!!! Hehe
And I loved Kenji and Juliette's friendship! It's just great that they have each other to confide in. Kenji is just so funny and I love it when Kenji makes Juliette laugh even if they're talking about serious things. (Kenji's character was inspired by one of Tahereh's brothers!!!!)
The message that I got from the series is that to not be afraid if you're different and that nobody is perfect.
I loved the Shatter Me series! I highly recommend it! I'm looking forward to Tahereh's future works! :)
