Ignite Me (Shatter Me, #3)
by
by
Kinda disappointed. (view spoiler) I wanted more.
However, Warner, Kenji, and Juliette's emotional maturity almost made up for the things that lacked.
About Warner:
Dear Kenji:
Hey, Juliette:
And Adam:
Edit after cover reveal:
WOWOWOWOWOWOW I can't believe our "Ignite Me" guess was right! Good job Shatter Me fandom.
Original:
Here's an interesting observation: I've noticed that the titles Shatter Me, Destroy Me, and Unravel Me are all referring to the manners of what Juliette does to Warner. In Destroy me Warner said: "That this girl would know exactly how to shatter me." Then he went on and said in Unravel Me: "You destroy me." In addition to that, Juliette, also in Unravel Me, related to the term when thinking about Warner: "I want to unravel him."
So....is it delusional to hope for the seemingly impossible?

“Why do you call her 'love'?" James asks. "I've heard you say that before, too. A lot. Are you in love with her? I think Adam's in love with her. Kenji's not in love with her, though. I already asked him."
Warner blinks at him.
"Well?" James asks.
"Well what?"
"Are you in love with her?"
"Are you in love with her?"
"What?" James blushes. "No. She's like a million years older than me."
"Would anyone else like to take over this conversation?" Warner asks, looking around the group.”

“I’m not sure. But there’s something about the darkness, the stillness of this hour, I think, that creates a language of its own. There’s a strange kind of freedom in the dark; a terrifying vulnerability we allow ourselves at exactly the wrong moment, tricked by the darkness into thinking it will keep our secrets. We forget that the blackness is not a blanket; we forget that the sun will soon rise. But in the moment, at least, we feel brave enough to say things we’d never say in the light.”

“Three forty-five-pound plates on each side of what Kenji told me is an Olympic bar, which weighs an additional forty-five pounds. I can't stop staring. I don't think that I've ever been more attracted to him in all the time I've known him."
"So this gets you going, huh?"
...
"I've never seen him in sweatpants before..."

"I bet you've seen him in a lot less.”

“I don't think you're crazy." The world is blurring away as I watch it through the window. "And I don't think that you're a psychopath. I also don't think you're a sick, twisted monster.

“I like the way I feel about myself when I'm with him." I say quietly. "Warner thinks I'm strong and smart and capable and he actually values my opinion. He makes me feel like his equal--like I can accomplish just as much as he can, and more. And if I do something incredible, he's not even surprised. He expects it. He doesn't treat me like I'm some fragile little girl who needs to be protected all the time.”

“Water that never moves." I say to him. "Its fine for a little while. You can drink from it and it'll sustain you. But if it sits too long it goes bad. It grows stale. It becomes toxic." I shake my head. "I need waves. I need waterfalls. I want rushing currents.”

“Don't do that," he says. "Don't ask me questions you already know the answers to. Twice I've laid myself bare to you and all it's gotten me was a bullet wound and a broken heart. Don't torture me," he says, meeting my eyes again.
"It's a cruel thing to do, even to someone like me.”

“Good morning, sweetheart."
"I like that," I say quietly, smiling even though he can't see it. "I like it when you call me sweetheart."
He laughs then, his shoulders shaking as he does. He rolls onto his back, arms stretched out at his sides.
God, he looks so good without his clothes on.”

“What if he just bombs everyone again?" Ian asks, breaking the silence. "Just like he did with Omega Point?"
"He won't," Warner says to him. "He's too arrogant, and this war has become personal. He'll want to toy with us. He'll want to draw this out as long as possible. He is a man who has always been fascinated by the idea of torture. This is going to be fun for him."
"Yeah, that's making me feel real good," Kenji says. "Thanks for the pep talk."
"Anytime," Warner says.”

I hope so too. There must have been a reason to why she decided to re-introduce Warner as a character we can sympathize (and swoon over) in UM. She even wrote a novella entirely in his POV!
have u read unravel me ?? if yes would u give me a warner teaser .. i would appreciate that... and yes it is odd cz she really made so many things clear to us in destroy me.. i loved him in shatter me but destroy me is epic.. looking forward for unravel me ... :)
Juliette also refers to Adam unraveling her at the beginning of Unravel Me & she talks about unraveling in her journals reveled in Unravel Me before Adam or Warner but none the less as a member of Team Warner I very much would like the titles to reflect Juliette & Warner : D
Man, don't know but Im really hoping that she chooses Warner! I mean, Mafi is different enough for the "second guy" be possible to have the HEA!
I really want her to end up with WARNER :'(

Ophelia wrote: "I really want her to end up with WARNER :'("ME TOOOO
yes, yes I have! Deuses, that chapter 62. After that, how can someone be not Team Warner?? ha
I've retread that chapter so many times. Warner seriously had me swooning. Man, that speech...
Ooh I hope the third one's called ignite me..i think you know why
Ignite me! I didn't think of that one but that's such a fitting name! *wink wink*
yees. But I wonder, Ignite? Why on his back?? Gosh, He's such a mistery
I'm super intrigued by his jade ring. Perhaps it has something to do with his mom. Mama's boy!
I know the second I read the words ignite I thought of it could be the name of this book because she tends to give hints for the next book name in her other books
There were hints for unravel me in shatter me?
Either that or in destroy me
hmm but if it is Ignite Me, I will be jumping around the house cause it will mean Warner all the way on the book
Did you know that there will be another novella? I hope its also written in Warner's(Aaron!) POV
Mafi drops hints about book three here. I visit this page for update a lot
Cookie wrote: " Mafi drops hints about book three here. I visit this page for update a lot"Yes, I heard too about the novella, and LOL I'm always stalking her pinterest too. Honestly, it looks like Warner is her favorite too. Hm.
yeah, hahaha. Unhealthy. but sooo good. I cant wait for bk 3!
well you just made my day. if he is the reason fir the names, then she basically has to end up with him...at least thats what i tell myself
Caroline wrote: "well you just made my day. if he is the reason fir the names, then she basically has to end up with him...at least thats what i tell myself"yeah, like that lol. for real, I like Adam and all but if she chooses him in the end Im gonna break something.
Tahereh tweeted five minutes ago about her editing book three and she said "is this triangle really a love triangle because it is so obvious who Juliette is going to end up with and it is going to be" and I mentally cursed her for leaving me hanging.
Cookie wrote: "Tahereh tweeted five minutes ago about her editing book three and she said "is this triangle really a love triangle because it is so obvious who Juliette is going to end up with and it is going to ..."she said that?? Omg, that evil, evil woman! But really, is not THAT obvious. I think.
She said that in book three juliette becomes more mature and stuff so I guess she knows which boy is truly the right choice for her. Keeping my fingers crossed and hope its Warner
Cookie wrote: "She said that in book three juliette becomes more mature and stuff so I guess she knows which boy is truly the right choice for her. Keeping my fingers crossed and hope its Warner"yes. Well, he is so much intense, and he makes her stronger. Now Im giddy cause I think she will be with Warner hahaha < 3
I literally screamed when you said that she tweeted that because I think it's gonna be warner so I'm really excited now
Mariah wrote: "I literally screamed when you said that she tweeted that because I think it's gonna be warner so I'm really excited now"I know rightt. Adam is so boooooring. Like Aaron (Aaron!!) has said, Adam cannot even express himself intelligently. 95 percent of the time that he opens his mouth its always to cuss something or someone out.
Cookie I know like in the book when adam expresses his feelings I feel absolutely nothing towards him but when warner/aaron does I have to pause my reading for a few seconds because my emotions are going out of conrol(in a good way), especially in the one scene where he says "i want so many things..."
Oh yes! My god, that speech. Juliette says herself, he is too much. Warner is too intense. And that is all kinds of awesome.
Yeah I was soo heartbroken when he said call me aaron and she said adam
Mariah wrote: "Yeah I was soo heartbroken when he said call me aaron and she said adam"I literally closed the book and screamed YOU DUMB I DONT BELIEVE IT you CRAZY HOW DARE YOUUU. I was real pissed, you can tell.
Also, he broke my heart later when (view spoiler)
i knnoooww! i love warner/aaron (love that name btw) sooo much! and he clearly loves juliette like A LOT, they have a super deep connection like how they have super long conversations and how juliette tells him things that shes never even comes close to mentioning to adam! and i also realized that Mafi always says how juliette's rejection KILLS adam but never mentions it being as bad for juliette but wen juliette is with warner and calls him adam and she sees the hurt on his face, she says how that look KILLS her! my point has been proven :) team Warner all the way! even though adam's really nice
Mariah wrote: "Cookie I know like in the book when adam expresses his feelings I feel absolutely nothing towards him but when warner/aaron does I have to pause my reading for a few seconds because my emotions are..."i my god i know! like it took a physical toll on me wen i was reading that, i started shaking and i felt weak in the knees! so weird but *swoon* hes just son amazing
Right?! Plus you can't forget when she said she's more comfortable talking to warner than adam because he won't judge her,and how warner pointed out how he felt her feel something the first time they kissed so the feelings were there before this book and while he was still acting cruel at points
Also I went back to skimming through the part about the bird in shatter me, Juliette said she started dreaming about a bird with gold crown exactly ten years ago. Warner also said he started training ten years ago. I wonder hmm...
If you open Tahereh Mafi's website the 3rd book is going to be published in fall 2013! Warner is made for Juliette! But Juliette is so lost in her self-pitty in unravel me.
Ooh I probably didn't read close enough I'm gonna go back and read shatter me,destroy me,and unravel me within the next month. It's coming out this fall? Hopefully the dates not changed like for unravel me.
It's not coming out this fall since the second novella is coming out in December. February is the month for Book 3.
I hope the novella is from warner's pov...is it?
Mariah wrote: "I hope the novella is from warner's pov...is it?"hmm no info yet. But I dont think that will be Warner's again. Tahereh said that she cant tell nothing yet.
Oh as long as it's not in adams pov I'll probably like it
I dont dislike Adam, I just, since UM, stopped bothering about him. Huh. But a novella on his pov would have been boring, though. Kenji's pov would be wicked!
Yeah I dont hate him I just feel nothing towards his character.if the novella was in his pov all we would here is his complaining about his gift and I really just dont care to read about it
Mariah wrote: "Yeah I dont hate him I just feel nothing towards his character.if the novella was in his pov all we would here is his complaining about his gift and I really just dont care to read about it"true, true.
And wheeping about Juliette. Warner was cruel and mean, but what he said was true: Adam shouldn't beg for J's love.
Tahereh was asked once if the readers can read chapter 62 in Warner's POV. She answered that they will get something even better than that. I think she was foreshadowing another novella in his POV.
Cookie wrote: "Tahereh was asked once if the readers can read chapter 62 in Warner's POV. She answered that they will get something even better than that. I think she was foreshadowing another novella in his POV."wow, FOR REAL? where did you saw this? Better than chapter 62... whoa
