Shatter Me is a young adult dystopian novel written by Tahereh Mafi and is part of a nine book series. This book takes place in a future world where a reestablishment of the world has taken place. We meet Juliette who is locked in a Psych ward all alone, this is because of the crazy power she has. Anyone who touches her skin will suffer and die. Her solitude changes when she wakes up to guards telling her that she will be getting a cellmate, Adam. At first, her new cellmate and her spend time not talking to each other, and staying on different sides of the room. They spend a few weeks together in their cell and fall into a routine that they follow every day. One day, they are awoken to guards coming into their cell and taking both of them away. Juliette wakes up in a new cell in a new place. In this new place she meets Warner, who wants Juliette to help fight the war using her powers. Juliette doesn't want to, but Warner keeps her captive for a few weeks in hopes of convincing her to join him. She then finds out the Adam is one of Warner's guards and he has been assigned to watching her when Warner can’t. As she counties to live in Warner's trap, she wants a way out and so does Adam. One day they escape Warner and they go to Adam's hidden house to hide. They hide for a little bit but they soon have to get on the move again. The book ends with them finding a community of other people who also have powers and they finally have a safe place, for now. This book was so good. It introduced the world that the series takes place in beautifully and sets up the rest of the books nicely. I cant wait to read the rest of the series and see how the characters grow and how the plot continues. I think that anyone who loves dystopian novels would love this book and its series.
