like there’s much better series that have all the elements of shatter me, and with far better and through world building. There are those who are hungry for it and wield it to control others, and those who have innate power and show restraint and reverence for others. I straight up hated Juliette’s character until halfway through the third book Warner was the ONLY redeeming part of that series. At the core of Shatter Me is the idea of power. Swearing is prevalent, but doesn't go beyond "s-t." Characters kiss, grope, and remove clothing with talk of wanting to have sex. Violence includes gunfire, with one death and injuries, a brief sexual assault, and talk of children hurt or killed. The story begins in an asylum where Juliette is starved and isolated. The main character, Juliette, as well as two other characters grow up with abuse and neglect. Her problems start when she kills a young boy by accident using her lethal touch, which leads to her being imprisoned by The Reestablishment. She is a 17-year-old girl with a unique power. Two common dystopian themes combine in this series: what the world could look like after humans wrecked the environment, and what could happen if a totalitarian government took over. Shatter Me is a dystopian novel for young adults, and it tells the story of Juliette Ferrars. Newer editions of Shatter Me come with the first novella, Destroy Me, which tells much of the story from the villain's perspective. There is also follow-up trilogy with the same characters as well as four novellas. It's part of a trilogy that includes Unravel Me and Ignite Me. Parents need to know that Shatter Me is the first book in a dystopian romance series by Iranian American author Tahereh Mafi.
