"Restore Me": Book #4, "Defy Me": Book #5, and "Imagine Me": Book #6

In the final three books, Juliette changes majorly and so does almost everything learned throughout the entire book Her main goal in the world is to change what it has become and with the support from her friends, she works to meet it The first three books are all about her growth. The last three, these books are all about her power.

She’s learning how to separate her emotions from her abilities and only use her powers when appropriate Instead of revenge, she wants peace More than anything, Juliette wants people who feel hopeless and unloved, like she once did, to feel supported and know they’re not alone

Overall Writer’s review

“The Shatter Me” Series was the first series I read and didn’t stop reading for one second I saw lots of discussion online where some people loved this book and others hated it I, for one, side with the fans of this series. I think this series captures real, raw emotions beautifully while adding a little fun in the mix I loved how this book was all about Juliette and her world, especially the world through her point of view But I also loved the funny jokes that were made The humor made reading less tense

Mostly, I love how my opinions on almost everyone in this series were constantly changing Kenji was my favorite character throughout this series because of his fun and witty personality, but also his protective and loyal personality too And with Aaron Warner, he was a character I thought I was going to hate throughout the entire series. He quickly redeemed himself and I am very thankful for that “The Shatter Me” series will always have a special place in my heart and the world inside this book is living forever in my mind I hope many people find this series as enjoyable as I did.
