It’s not terrible

The plot is interesting and will make you want to read more but the storytelling is agonizing. The main character is frustrating. I got the trilogy set but had enough listening to Juliet‘s depressing thoughts and read the summary of the last book.

amazing story

This was amazing. the story was so well written, and the acting was so mesmerizing.

A dystopian soap that gets progressively better

The performance put in by the narrator was good. All the voices sounded distinct. Lots of melodrama and interesting character dynamics (loved Kenji and James!).

The plot and world building through the series was kind of meh for me. The conflict at the end of Ignite Me resolved a little more quickly than I would have liked. I was happy to see how Mafi's writing improved with each entry into this series, though. If you're a fiend for any of the tropes in the Shatter Me series I would definitely suggest Mafi's This Woven Kingdom series. That was my introduction to her and all the tropey stuff (twisted love triangle, villain with a secret heart of gold, tragic heroine that's supposed to be leading everyone to the promise land) that holds up Shatter Me is executed much better in This Woven Kingdom.

Sidenote: I am neither team Adam or Warner they are both awful. If I had to choose between a face-eating leopard (that plays nice with the heroine because she rationalizes his flaws...some might call them murdering/manipulating tendencies) and a dry Panera baguette with control/ anger issues...just...no. No, thank you to either.

Ahhhhh!

Whoever decided on the voice actors need to get paid extra extra because this was perfection! To the T this was amazingly beautifully soooo good!! Inhaled. Consumed. Obsessed.

Overall great ending

No spoilers here but juilet character made me frustrated at times I wanted to stop reading/ listening

Unique and compelling

This book/recording is compelling. Kate Simses performance is wonderful. I cannot imagine a better voice for Juliet. And the different voices for other characters are really good. The writing style gives a close look into the main characters mind. The noises and tones are intentional. And add a different flair that is unique. You have to remember reading/listening to this book that Juliet is 17 years old and has been for the majority of her life abused, neglected, and isolated. She has been told she is a monster by everyone. And she has been abandoned. So it makes sense that she would have so much self loathing. It also explains why she is VERY naïve. And most of the other characters surrounding her are all very young and immature. Juliet can be extremely annoying especially her inner monolog. She is far from perfect. But that's what makes her a good character. Through out these books and later in the series her character develops a lot. And she shows more depth. I love the symbolic image of the bird and how it links characters together. Warner and Aaron are not perfect either. And problematic at times. But that makes them feel more real. This book is not suitable for younger audiences I would say it is for older teenagers and up. It has course language and semi steamy scenes. But while it eludes to sex there is no description beyond kissing and some touching. This story combines in my opinion X Men meets dystopian meet love triangle romance with a bit of enemy's to lovers. Which I thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely would recommend this book.

LOVE THIS!!

I really enjoyed reading the series but I love how well the narrators voice fits the main character

absolutely lives up to the praise

the performance was, I believe, what sold me the most to listening all the way to the completion of the third book. kenji is, by far, my favorite character. idk what to say about these novels aside from the fact that they captivated me so instantly that I just had to binge through each book. I even bought ear buds so that I may listen to it discreetly while at work.

every sentence is at least 10 minutes long.

Jordan Peterson can fit less words in a sentence. Get on with it! it's an okay story for what it is, but I found myself skipping forward a lot.

Best I have read since Divergent/Hunger Games

Shatter me was a little slow to get into, I couldn't get past her whinny voice but as the story went on her voice grew stronger and more confident. The chain of events is thrilling, a complete nail biter, and a shocking twist of events! I absolutely loved it. Ignite me is the best book I have read in years! This series made me want to read again.
