Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi Warner. <3 Now, that that’s out of the way. I really liked this book. It was good to finally have all the pieces of Warner put together so that both the reader and Juliette could see him for all that he is: human. As a teacher, I have seen how people become a product of their environment. It takes a strong person to be able to overcome that and both Juliette and Warner do an excellent job of that. This book gave me less anxiety than Unravel Me, espec

Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi Just wow. First, I want to get the one minute thing I didn't like out of the way so I can talk about all the stuff I loved! I know Juliette is trying to figure out herself, but I found her to be a bit weak and whiny in this book. Kenji is totally right when he tells her she's being self-absorbed and wallowing in her self-pity. I also found Adam to be really needy and obsessive in this book, despite my love for him in book one. Okay, now moving on. B

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi Wow. I'm a little late to the party, but I'd heard so many good things about this series and this first book didn't disappoint. I know there's a lot of hub bub about Warner around the book community, but right now I'm intrigued by Adam. I also enjoy Kenji as comedy relief. Because the reality of it is there are some intense scenes and topics in this book. The style is stream-of-consciousness which I really liked. It's a bit clipped so it made for fa

Frost Like Night by Sarah Raasch I liked this so much better than Ice Like Fire! I see how some of the events in Ice Like Fire needed to happen to bridge Snow Like Ashes and Frost Like Night, but I also feel like something about it just does this series a disservice. In Frost Like Night perspectives alternate between Cerie, Mather, and Miera. Thankfully, Miera is less whiny/immature in this book and really comes into her own understanding of her power and identity. I also rea

Ice Like Fire by Sarah Raasch Ice Like Fire is the sequel to Snow Like Ashes. Overall, I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I did Snow Like Ashes. Snow took me about 160 pages to get into it, but once I got into it I really loved it! Ice Like Fire was almost the opposite. The first 130 pages were really good and then I found my interest floundering. In this book Meira really grapples with her new identity. In short, the magical chasm is discovered early on and Theron and Meira
