A fragile young teenage girl is held captive. Locked in a cell by The Reestablishment – a harsh dictatorship in charge of a crumbling world. This is no ordinary teenager. Juliette is a threat to The Reestablishment's power. A touch from her can kill – one touch is all it takes. But not only is she a threat.

Unravel Me (Book 2):
Juliette has escaped. She has found the headquarters of the rebel resistance – and people like her. People with gifts. She is free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch. Or from Warner. 

Ignite Me (Book 3):
With Omega Point destroyed, Juliette doesn't know if the rebels, her friends, or even Adam are alive. But that won't keep her from trying to take down The Reestablishment once and for all. Now she must rely on Warner. The one person she never thought she could trust. The same person who saved her life.

Restore Me (Book 4):

Defy Me (Book 5):
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.

The Shatter Me series romanticizes abuse; click here for an ongoing, in-depth commentary about abuse romanticism in this series and others.

| Reader Fox Blog |


It must have been over a year ago now that I said I was going to be rereading the Shatter Me series in order to shed some light on the deeply problematic aspects of abuse romanticism that exists within the series. Well, I'd started but eventually lost track due to life and my desire to read books that were more deserving of my attention.

Last night I finally started.

I ordered physical copies of the first three books and the short stories that exist in between them. I opened Shatter Me last night and began. As of this moment, I have only annotated the first nine and a half chapters. It's interesting, reading this book again. I had enjoyed it the first time. Never in my life had I expected that the author would try to manipulate me into liking the despicable Warner.

Forgiveness is important in life, for sure, but I don't think it plays a role here. There are some things that are unforgivable. And honestly? If Warner genuinely wanted to develop himself and become a better person, it should have been with someone else. To have Juliette degrade herself and regress entirely in her character development to the point that she falls for her abuser was disturbing on a number of insane levels.

Warner's obsession with Juliette is terrifying. And I haven't even truly scratched the surface yet.

I am baffled by the fact that people find their relationship romantic. I am deeply saddened by the fact that "broken" characters somehow are given the okay to horrifically damage their partners in the name of love. As if the fact that they love this person makes it okay that they hurt them in these ways.

It doesn't make it okay. He did not deserve or earn her forgiveness. And once I've finished annotating all of these books, I will share with you all why that is.

To any girl who meets a boy who was "broken" by the way someone in his life treated him, who gets treated horribly by this boy -- run. His brokenness does not make it okay for him to hurt you. His brokenness does not mean that he deserves your forgiveness. There are plenty of people who suffer abuse and do not lash out and abuse the people they "love."

Mafi manipulates her readers to try and force them to like Warner. She creates characters and then manipulates them into unrealistic actions in order to push them in the direction she wanted, even if it doesn't actually make any sense to do so. In this way, I see these books as being very poorly written.

But the worst thing of all is the fact that abuse is lauded as romantic in these novels. Warner may hurt Juliette and be forgiven for it time and time again all because, beneath his terrible acts, his motives are supposedly based in the fact that he loves her. Nevermind that time and time again his love is portrayed as selfish and only insofar as she benefits him.

Like the novels, if you wish. But at least like them knowing the facts: Warner is abusive. Juliette and Warner are in an abusive relationship.

No just no. Juliette is insufferable and cannot stand her , she always whines and is a pick me. Book two was horrible, SPOILER ALERT the ending was rushed and it almost feels like Mafi killed everyone because she didn't know what else to do. Unpopular opinion but Aaron is not a lovable character and should be locked up. He is just as whiny as Juliette except he has a reason to whine, however that doesn't excuse the fact that he has no backbone and bends to everyones will. This book is not worth the hype and was over all just disappointing. Do t waste your time.

Review, Rezension (English,Deutsch) Shatter Me – Tahereh Mafi ✨💫*

Shatter Me is the first book in the series of the same name by Tahereh Mafi and was published in 2011. The book belongs to the dystopian genre with strong elements of romance and fantasy – perfect for anyone who loves suspense, emotion, and a little heart-pounding excitement. 💥 I would classify it as enemies to lovers, found power, and forbidden love.

The story revolves around 17-year-old Juliette Ferrars, who has been locked in a cell for almost a year—all alone, without human contact. The reason: *her touch is deadly.* Anyone she touches dies. In the dark, dystopian world where the so-called “Reestablishment” has taken control, Juliette is considered a monster—but suddenly everything changes when she gets a cellmate: Adam. 🖤



💫 Characters:

Juliette is an incredibly fascinating main character—sensitive, fragile, and at the same time incredibly strong. With every page, you can feel how much she vacillates between fear and hope, between the desire to harm no one and the longing to finally be free. Adam is the epitome of loyalty and warmth, and the connection between the two is simply electrifying ⚡ (literally!).
*And then there's Warner—charismatic, dangerous, complex. You hate him... and then somehow you love him. (literally!).
*And then there's Warner—charismatic, dangerous, complex. You hate him... and then somehow you love him. (By the second volume at the latest, I promise 😉).*

Every character has depth—no one is purely good or evil. You understand why they do what they do, and that's what makes them so vivid.



🌍 Themes:

“Shatter Me” is not only a love story, but also a story about identity, self-acceptance, and power. Juliette learns that her ‘weakness’ is actually her greatest strength – a beautiful image for anyone who has ever felt different or “too much.” The book also addresses control, freedom, and the question of what humanity really means.



✍🏼 Writing style:

Tahereh Mafi's style is simply unique. Poetic, intense, sometimes almost like a poem in prose. There are crossed-out thoughts, repetitions, inner monologues – you feel as if you are sitting right inside Juliette's head. This unusual, emotional language ensures that you experience every one of her emotions – fear, longing, love, anger. It's as if you're not just reading the book, but feeling it. 💔🔥



🌌 Atmosphere:

The mood fluctuates between hopelessness and sparks of love and light. The dystopian world is gray, empty, destroyed—and yet Juliette's inner fire keeps shining through. The mixture of suspense, romance, and inner drama ensures that you devour the pages.

And the ending? An absolute cliffhanger that will have you reaching for volume 2 right away! 😱



💖 My conclusion:

I love this book. From the first page to the last, it captivated me, moved me, and made me think. Juliette is one of the strongest female protagonists I've ever read about – and her development throughout the series is simply wow.

A word of warning: it's highly addictive! 😍
I recommend Shatter Me to anyone aged 14 and up who is looking for strong emotions, profound characters, and a dash of dystopia with heart.

5 out of 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
A book that won't let you go – in the best possible way. 💞

I hope you enjoyed my review of Shatter Me!
Until next time – and remember: sometimes our true strength lies in what makes us different. 💫🫶🏼📖




Deutsch:
Rezension: Shatter Me (Ich fürchte mich nicht) – Tahereh Mafi ✨💫*

„Shatter Me“ ist der erste Band der gleichnamigen Reihe von Tahereh Mafi und erschien 2011 (auf Deutsch: Ich fürchte mich nicht). Das Buch gehört zum Genre Dystopie mit starken Romance- und Fantasy-Elementen – also perfekt für alle, die Spannung, Emotionen und ein bisschen Herzklopfen lieben. 💥 Ich würde es den Tropes Enemies to Lovers, Found Power, und Forbidden Love zuordnen.

Die Geschichte dreht sich um die 17-jährige Juliette Ferrars, die seit fast einem Jahr in einer Zelle eingesperrt ist – ganz allein, ohne menschlichen Kontakt. Der Grund: *Ihre Berührung ist tödlich.* Jeder, den sie anfasst, stirbt. In der düsteren, dystopischen Welt, in der das sogenannte „Reestablishment“ die Kontrolle übernommen hat, gilt Juliette als Monster – doch plötzlich ändert sich alles, als sie einen Zellengenossen bekommt: Adam. 🖤



💫 Figuren:

Juliette ist eine unglaublich faszinierende Hauptfigur – sensibel, zerbrechlich und gleichzeitig unfassbar stark. Man spürt bei jeder Seite, wie sehr sie zwischen Angst und Hoffnung schwankt, zwischen dem Wunsch, niemandem zu schaden, und dem Verlangen, endlich frei zu sein. Adam ist der Inbegriff von Loyalität und Wärme, und die Verbindung zwischen den beiden ist einfach elektrisierend ⚡ (im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes!).
*Und dann ist da noch Warner – charismatisch, gefährlich, komplex. Man hasst ihn … und dann liebt man ihn irgendwie doch. (Spätestens im zweiten Band, versprochen 😉).*

Jede Figur hat Tiefe – niemand ist nur gut oder böse. Man versteht, warum sie tun, was sie tun, und genau das macht sie so lebendig.



🌍 Themen:

„Shatter Me“ ist nicht nur eine Liebesgeschichte, sondern auch eine Geschichte über Identität, Selbstakzeptanz und Macht. Juliette lernt, dass ihre „Schwäche“ in Wahrheit ihre größte Stärke ist – ein wunderschönes Bild für alle, die sich schon einmal anders oder „zu viel“ gefühlt haben. Außerdem thematisiert das Buch Kontrolle, Freiheit und die Frage, was Menschlichkeit wirklich bedeutet.



✍🏼 Schreibstil:

Tahereh Mafis Stil ist einfach einzigartig. Poetisch, intensiv, manchmal fast wie ein Gedicht in Prosa. Es gibt durchgestrichene Gedanken, Wiederholungen, innere Monologe – man fühlt sich, als würde man direkt in Juliettes Kopf sitzen. Diese ungewöhnliche, emotionale Sprache sorgt dafür, dass man jede ihrer Emotionen miterlebt – Angst, Sehnsucht, Liebe, Wut. Es ist, als würde man das Buch nicht nur lesen, sondern fühlen. 💔🔥



🌌 Atmosphäre:

Die Stimmung schwankt zwischen Hoffnungslosigkeit und Funken von Liebe und Licht. Die dystopische Welt ist grau, leer, zerstört – und doch leuchtet Juliettes inneres Feuer immer wieder auf. Die Mischung aus Spannung, Romantik und innerem Drama sorgt dafür, dass man die Seiten verschlingt. Und das Ende? Ein absoluter Cliffhanger, der dich sofort nach Band 2 greifen lässt! 😱



💖 Mein Fazit:

Ich liebe dieses Buch. Von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite hat es mich gefesselt, berührt und zum Nachdenken gebracht. Juliette ist eine der stärksten weiblichen Hauptfiguren, die ich je gelesen habe – und ihre Entwicklung über die Reihe hinweg ist einfach nur wow.

Kleine Warnung: Es besteht akute Suchtgefahr! 😍
Ich empfehle „Shatter Me“ allen ab etwa 14 Jahren, die starke Emotionen, tiefgründige Charaktere und eine Prise Dystopie mit Herz suchen.

5 von 5 Sternen 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Ein Buch, das dich nicht mehr loslässt – im besten Sinne. 💞

Ich hoffe, euch hat meine Rezension zu Shatter Me gefallen!
Bis zum nächsten Mal – und denkt dran: manchmal liegt in dem, was uns anders macht, unsere wahre Stärke. 💫🫶🏼📖

THIS DUCKING BOOK. To be honest I only started this book because of Aaron but I’m so happy I did. It’s the best dystopian book I’ve read and I love how powerful everyone is. I liked most characters(definitely not Adam) and the characters were easy to love.
But my god Aaron is so sweet. His past is so so deep and it gives him so much depth. I almost die every time he says a thing. And his love for Juliette has wishing I had something like that. It’s obvious he’s loved Juliette since the beginning. And it’s also obvious Juliette have had a tiny crush on him from the beginning.

It was the first series I ever read that I saw from book tok and I couldn’t love it any more, the characters were everything and the writer included so much diversity that it made the story much more interesting. There were a few books in the series I didn’t like as much as the others but I’m forever going to be Juliette and Aaron Stan!!

Luckily, I've only bought the first book and read the rest online, otherwise it would be such a waste of money. Juliet is THE BIGGEST PICK ME EVER, reminds me of y/n from Wattpad. And the story is written like a Wattpad one, plus there is really NO NEED for this many books.
