Chiaramente continuerò la lettura solo per Warner e per scoprire cos’è successo mentre Juliette vestiva i soliti panni d’imbranata cronica. Fracture Me: Adam's perspective from the first war. I'm being bias to Warner at this point, so I thought this was irrelevant to the progress of the series. Unfortunately you cannot sell a multi book series for the premise of a love interest while forgetting everything else in the series needs attention to detail as well. Well, I guess you can, but it’s going to receive a scathing review from me. Per me, il problema principale di questa serie è la protagonista. È giusto che nel primo libro sia invasa dalla paura, dai conflitti, dai pensieri ossessivi eccetera. Ma due libri con un personaggio che s’incolpa di continuo, piange, e il mondo è brutto e cattivo, e forse merito la solitudine, e forse devo morire, non lo tollero. Quasi peggio delle crocerossine che vanno dietro al bad boy che le maltratta sono le protagoniste che si piangono addosso h24. All’inizio mi piaceva molto Juliette, ottima caratterizzazione di un personaggio isolato e maltrattato. In questo volume l’ho trovata insopportabile e non sopportare la voce narrante è un gran bel problema.

Mafi combines a psychological opener with an action-adventure denouement in her YA debut. This is a gripping read from an author who's not afraid to take risks." -- Publishers Weekly Love love love this book series. And although I know there are a lot of negative aspects about it and that it isn't perfect, I still think it was pretty good.To any girl who meets a boy who was "broken" by the way someone in his life treated him, who gets treated horribly by this boy -- run. His brokenness does not make it okay for him to hurt you. His brokenness does not mean that he deserves your forgiveness. There are plenty of people who suffer abuse and do not lash out and abuse the people they "love." Autres que les six livres de la série, l’auteure a écrit des novellas dont l’intrigue a lieu pendant les évènements de la série. Cependant, dans ses livres, l’auteure priorise le point de vue d’un personnage et développe plus celui-ci. Je trouve ça pertinent de lire certaines novellas, bien qu’elles ne soient pas indispensables pour suivre l’histoire, elles m’ont permis de mieux comprendre le point de vue des autres personnages des livres.

Tahereh Mafi is a great author. Seriously, her writing style is amazing and her characters three-dimensional, believable people. And the second character I liked: Kenji. Such a lovely, funny guy who doesn't take anyone's shit. Least of all Juliette's. He was the one who always called her out and helped her grow. I'm very glad they became best friends, they're good for each other. world building: the world's aesthetic was really satisfying and beautiful, but the world building overall wasn't as interesting as I wanted it to be. There’s some comedic relief thanks to the character Kenji. His character is pretty funny and almost every interaction he and Warner have made me smile. (It’s not because they get along though teehee).

Non so quanti pezzi ho saltato pieni delle sue paranoie sul mondo, la vita, gli uccelli che non volano (una vera e propria ossessione per questi uccelli. Con tutti i libri che ha letto, non conosce animali diversi?) Altri li ho trovati più interessanti, la scrittura evocativa se piazzata nel punto giusto ti cattura. Utilizzata invece in un momento veloce o di pathos rende noiosa l’intera scena. Come nel dialogo fra Juliette e Warner prima della battaglia. Non ha davvero alcun senso perdersi in lunghissime pippe mentali quando hai di fronte una persona che attende risposta. E i lettori rischiano di dimenticarsi cos’è stato detto (io l'ho scordato). I know I stopped during the third book, but I wish Juliette’s character development had been better. I wish her change had been more obvious. I wish her arc had been about how touch isn’t the only important thing in life. She was just starting to grow from her old mindset in the third book (due to Warner no doubt) Mafi could have used the people at Omega Point and her problems with Adam to further this—to say: I am powerful and capable and I’ve spent this long fighting for myself, I don’t need to spend entire books stressing about the first guy who liked me. I know that’s kind of Warner’s message to her, but we’re two books in and I’m already bored. The fact that he can touch her and cares about her should have come in later, after she'd delved into this belief for herself. Warner told her everything she needed to be and she did it. She never thought for herself (no, getting angry and yelling when you disagree with something is not thinking for herself). Unravel Me is dangerous, sexy, romantic, and intense. I dare you to stop reading." -- Kami Garcia, #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of the Beautiful Creatures series

The writing was creative and easy to get through. I find a lot of books nowadays are hard to digest, I trip over the jagged rises and falls of the sentences, but shatter me wasn’t like that one bit. It was creative without being over the top or superfluous. I also really enjoyed the POV. Basically it was really easy to get inside Juliette’s head and reside their, taking in what she took in how she perceived it. Questa parte della storia si merita cinque stelle solo per il personaggio di Warner. Ha detto delle cose che mi hanno fatto perdere la testa… La caratterizzazione del suo personaggio è ben fatta e cattura l’attenzione. Anche quella di Adam è una buona caratterizzazione, ma è noiosa, non incisiva come quella di Warner. E alla fine ho capito perché al protagonista maschile non è stato dato un corpo sostanzioso, perché non era lui il vero protagonista maschile. There is so much I could say but won’t because I want people to actually read this review. Castle was the worst rebel leader ever written, Adam didn’t love Juliette, he just wanted sex. Kenji was fine but his mouth was so over the top with expletives and seedy dialogue that he was a drag to get through most of the time, James was bland. I actually liked Winston and Brendan, but their roles were neglected because there was too much focus on the damn love triangle. I actually hoped they had all died in the bombing in book three like we were “led” to be believe (like I said, predictably predictable), but no, literally every main characters I just mentioned, everyone we’ve met at Omega Point in the past three books, survived. The people who died in the battle were nobodies that nobody cared about because we didn’t know them. Where’s the suspense? Where’s the cathartic grief? You played up the battle and their death so much but then… nothing to show for it? Forgiveness is important in life, for sure, but I don't think it plays a role here. There are some things that are unforgivable. And honestly? If Warner genuinely wanted to develop himself and become a better person, it should have been with someone else. To have Juliette degrade herself and regress entirely in her character development to the point that she falls for her abuser was disturbing on a number of insane levels. Ero così fiera di Juliette. L’ho vista crescere, cambiare e maturare. Ignite me mi ha anche insegnato ad amare un personaggio come mai mi era capitato prima d’ora.. E questo perché l’autrice è riuscita a caratterizzare in maniera così eccelsa il personaggio di Aaron Warner che io riesco a percepire sulla mia pelle tutti i brividi che lui mi ha lasciato.

My favorite book in the series was Defy Me where the author discloses some mind-boggling truths that change the entire perspective of Aaron and Juliette's life. I am baffled by the fact that people find their relationship romantic. I am deeply saddened by the fact that "broken" characters somehow are given the okay to horrifically damage their partners in the name of love. As if the fact that they love this person makes it okay that they hurt them in these ways.

Parto dal presupposto che con tutte le parole del mondo io lo stesso non riuscirei a farvi comprendere pienamente quanto abbia amato questa storia.Con la protagonista è riuscito a dimostrare che ha sempre avuto buone intenzioni con lei e con il mondo, smentendo tutto quello che era stato detto su di lui.
