Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi
5.0
Wow. Such a great conclusion to this trilogy.
I absolutely loved this book. The trilogy got better with every book and Ignite Me is definitely the best one.
The dystopian parts were more in the background (as already in the first two books) and the relationships and emotions were more important. I really enjoyed reading about these conflicts that were battling against each other in Juliette's head.
The character development was phenomenal. I didn't like Juliette's constant whining in Unravel Me. She just pitied herself and expected from everyone to feel sorry for her and to help her with everything. But in this book she somehow realized that it won't do her any good and she suddenly became so kick-ass that I couldn't help but admire this transformation, which didn't seem rushed at all.
Adam got from lame to douchey, I couldn't stand him anymore at all.
Kenji was amazing. It was so much fun reading about his überconfidence and his jokes, it was hilarious. But he was not just fun, he was also a great friend to Juliette, which I liked about him.
And of course Warner. I loved him even more in this book. And all this sexual tension between him and Juliette drove me almost crazy. It was very well done.
The writing was so beautiful and there were a few quotes that just hit me because they were not just poetic but also to the point. I enjoyed reading this beautiful prose very, very much.
The ending itself was well done. It was kind of an open ending, which fit the story quite well. This was all in all a really great trilogy and I can't wait to read more by Tahereh Mafi (I hope there will be more of her writing soon!).
