Ignite me by- Tahereh Mafi

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.


Ignite me was an amazing ending to a heart pounding series,  fast paced and action packed this book read so fast before I knew it I was 300 hundred pages into it.  
Needless to say I loved this book the character development was exactly what I hoped for we find the real Warner aka (Aron) in this book which I loved, we also get to see Juliette come into her own completely and with out the so needed male crutch that so many YA female protagonists seem to need. 
I enjoyed how the instance love in the first book was addressed and explained in a way that we all see when reading, the girl always falls face first for the first guy to look her way and in this book the author addresses that . The character finally realizes that she didn't need a man to be strong she needed to see that her strength was a gift.  I found as the novel went on I disliked Adam more and more he became a whining brat but to be honest I saw that in the first book.

Now for the few problems I had with the book I did think that the book had a lot of build up to a very small climax I thought that the war would have been a much larger part of the book but it was rather secondary to the character development. Another thing was I didn't enjoy the god complex that the 
main antagonist had and yet he was taken down so quickly. On a whole this book was very enjoyable but the ending did leave me wanting a little I feel as though there could almost be a continuation or spin off here's hoping :)

Even with the few faults I had I still gave this book a 5/5  a ser
