    In defense of the writing style of the earlier books - the dramatic prose is exactly how a teenage girl would write/journal about her life. I don't think it's bad, I think it makes sense for Juliette's character. She is the pinnacle of teenager cast-out-from-society angst. When I read the series I actually took more issue with the later books - Juliette is going back and forth between having agency and seeming like she's actually learning how to defend herself to being a damsel in distress and captured (TWICE!). The whiplash honestly made the ending pretty anticlimactic for me - she struggles but doesn't. So much happens but then it's over immediately.

    @@triptinath5675 I mean Juliette has been isolated her whole life and like the way she reacts to that new environment (the Reestablishment and the rebellion etc) is quite normal tbh. You can't really expect her to adapt to it so quickly😭. I mean she's not much of help considering how she can't control her powers and is mentally unstable (which is understandable, and is also probably the reason why she can't adapt quickly). I will admit, she can be frustrating at times. People are free to dislike her but some people are way too harsh on her. Although, I only read the the first three books so idk what happens in the other three.

I remember just feeling so lost in that second trilogy. Overall, one of the most frustrating things about this entire series is Mafi’s tendency to show you something and then be like “SIKE! That didn’t actually happen!” in order to retcon and tailor as she pleases and it just feels cheap/lazy. That being said, Kenji and Warner are possibly the best characters in that they usually make the story bearable/more interesting when they’re around. It doesn’t save it tho. Thing is, from what I’ve seen of her, Tahereh Mafi seems like a lovely person with a great sense of fashion and a beautiful family but I also never want to read another book by her 😂

    A few years ago I picked up Shatter Me in my school library, and read the first few pages. As soon as the male live interest came into the story (in chapter 1 or 2) the lead was immediately like oh he’s hot/he’s gorgeous immediately. It might just be me not really liking romances but still that’s way to fast for the lead to suddenly go for the love interest. Put it down after finishing chapter 1 or 2

    I'm sorry you had to suffer, but I'm just overjoyed with the fact that I'm not alone in hating this series. I've tried to read the first 3 books, read the first one fully, skimmed through the second, skimmed the first half of the third then dropped it completely. I just couldn't do it. Then i go to book tok and people are OBSESSED with it?? I was seriously questioning my taste at this point so thank you and the comments for showing me that there is still faith in humanity and peopel still have taste in fiction.

    I hated the audiobook sooooo much! They didn't explain the cross outs so you hear something said then like chalk on a chalkboard for the crossouts. Took me forever to realize that. Also the narrator made her sound I don't know but I didn't like it. Decided to try reading it & got through the first 3. I think I'm just not a dystopia books cause it's not the first of the genre that I've struggled with.😅

    Thank you so much for this. I read Shatter Me years and years ago and then gave up sometime into Unravel Me (I think I crossed the halfway line? don't remember). Now I will never have to pick this up ever again. I get how the OG trilogy has a so-bad-it's-funny vibe. That paired with some nostalgia is comfort entertainment. But the lack of worldbuilding threw me off so hard already, now knowing everything is even worse... wow. I could even forgive rushed battles and resolutions, those could just be necessary stepping stones while the characters, their development and relationships are the true meat, but it was hard caring for anybody. I was so here for the hook of "girl with death touch was locked up and now some more people with fantastic powers band together to overthrow evil overlords". Way to derail this on every level. Was fun listening to you (the cat noises were very welcome).
