About this ebook
The breath-taking and heart-pounding fifth instalment in the incredible New York Times and UK kindle bestselling SHATTER ME series.
She was never meant for you.
She was never meant for any of this.
That girl was sentenced to death the moment I named her Juliette.
Juliette Ferrars isn't who she thinks she is.
Nothing in her world is what it seemed. She thought she'd defeated The Reestablishment. She thought she'd finally taken control of her life, her power, her pain. But a lifetime of lies unravelling before her has changed all that.
Stronger, braver, and more resilient than ever, Juliette must fight for life and love. But first she has to survive the war being raged against her mind.
She has to remember who she was.
Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Victoria Aveyard and Leigh Bardugo.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This series should've ended at Ignite Me and that's the real tea sis.
I'm not even sure how to rate this damned book, it's definitely not a 3, maybe a 2.something
Either way, I didn't like it.
This book feels like an afterthought, like Tahereh wanted to extend this series so badly she just conjured up idea after idea and when she didn't know which one to choose, she just crammed them all together in one damned book.
There was a lot of info dump, and little story telling. I hate that.
If I had to sum up this book in a few points here's what I'd say:
- Info dump.
- Info dump.
- More info dump.
- Unrealistic plot points.
- Some more info dump.
- A lot of rambling and explaining to make that unrealistic point acceptable.
- Characters acting out of character.
- Info dump.
- Some more explaining to make me accept why characters are being so not themselves.
And so on and so forth.
All in all, I wasn't a big fan of this book, I was confused most of the time and annoyed for the rest of it.
But I'm willing to give Tahereh one more chance and wait for the next book before classifying this series once and for all. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5And.....things get stranger.....
Although I know this was a necessary part of the journey through this series I found this book hard to read.1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Ehhhh, I'm sure it was a very important part of the series, but I felt like nothing had happened by the time I finished and it just felt like it could've been done in a short story. Not terribly impressed though I've loved the series so far.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love this series so much! Finally in the book I was really able to love and accept Warner. It's been difficult for me to get over all the horrible things he has done in his past but this book explains even more of both Juliette's and his twisted past that makes me really love and root for them. I love where things are headed with this series and can't wait to for the next books!
