Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi

THIS WAS A MASTERPIECE.

Okay, professional opinion:

Wow, this book left me absolutely speechless. I swear this series is just getting better and better. The character bonding between Juliette and her fellow friends at Omega Point as well as Juliette adapting to the world around her is quite astonishing. 

The book starts where Unravel Me ended. This book was really focused on Juliette’s development with the characters, especially Warner and Adam. It’s a journey about Juliette finally accepting her powers and wanting to develop them for the greater good. The tension between Warner and Juliette fully diminishes the entire plot. I didn’t like how the plot development was gone, but tbh (to be honest) I was happy about Warner and Juliette. 

For the ending, I actually quite liked it even though it felt fast. The readers feel a shimmer of hope for all the characters and how they found hope and love in the madness and chaos. But there were so many questions that were unanswered about Anderson and the war. But after reading it, and digesting it down, I now realize that the book really never was about the war and Anderson, but rather so Juliette’s story from the first book to the end. 

The main thing that I didn’t like about this book was the insufficient plot development and the action of the rebellion. For the plot development, around 100 pages in, there is not much plot anymore but Mafi takes you into the relationship between Warner and Juliette a lot, which is nice, but I wished there was more about the history of the war. For the rebellion, it just seemed too clean and neat. There was no way that the entire ending and rebellion only took around 40 pages in this 400-page novel. I wished Mafi could have somehow incorporated the plot into Juliette, Adam and Warner’s relationship.

Not professional opinion: WARNER!!
