If you have a bit of dystopia-fatigue, I can see why it may be a negative. While good, it isn’t completely original or fascinating type of dystopia. The worldbuilding is probably the weakest aspect.
But I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to stick with this series until the end. All of the characters are amazing (especially Warner and Kenji, I love them), and they really make this book stand out. It’s fairly typical and Juliette can be a little too passive at times. In the first book, the characters and the main relationship isn’t anything groundbreaking. While the romance is adorable and fun at first, as Juliette develops, so does all of her relationships. The love story also shares that amazing development. While at the start they are interesting, they become absolutely fascinating and amazing over the course of this series. The development these characters go through is amazing. I think that idea is important to another area of this book.
However, I do know that this style doesn’t work for everyone, but I honestly feel if you keep with the book, you will grow to love it no matter your first impression. Mafi’s writing style is poetic and beautiful, allowing the reader to have a deeper understanding of Juliette’s thoughts and feelings. When the Reestablishment decides to use her as a weapon, Juliette must decide how to stop them from turning her into the monster she has been so afraid of becoming. Why? Because she can kill people with her touch alone and has no control over this power. Shatter Me takes place in a dystopian future, where our protagonist, Juliette, has been locked away for 264 days. I am numb, a world of nothing, all feeling and emotion gone forever. Review In A Nutshell: Shatter Me is an amazing series, one of my absolute favorites! However, I think this book is best for people who are willing to devote some time to getting into the writing style and getting to know the characters.
