Defy Me
Juliette and Warner’s story continues in the thrilling fifth installment of the globally bestselling phenomenon Shatter Me: Series One.
Juliette Ferrars isn’t who she thinks she is.
Nothing in her world is what it seemed. She thought she’d finally defeated The Reestablishment. She thought she’d finally taken control of her life, her power, and her pain. But Juliette has only just begun to unravel a lifetime of lies, and she finds herself faced with a familiar choice:
Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.
This time, she’s not alone. Stronger, braver, and more resilient than ever, Juliette will fight for life and love with her friends by her side—but first, she has to survive the war being waged against her mind:
She has to remember who she was.
Narrated by Juliette, Warner, and Kenji Kishimoto, this gripping novel will leave readers hungry for Imagine Me, the sixth and final novel in Shatter Me: Series One.

"She's kept in captivity…She lives in a holding tank, where she exists almost permanently underwater. Her brain waves are connected to tidal turbines that convert the kinetic energy of her mind into electricity…She has the power to bend the minds of the people–she can warp and distort realities.”
“The decay of society, the broken atmosphere, the birds gone from the sky—It's all an illusion. It's true that our climate has changed, yes—we've done serious damage to the atmosphere, to the animals, to the planet as a whole–but that damage is not irreparable. Scientists were hopeful that, with a careful, concerted effort, we could fix our Earth. Save the future.”
“But The Reestablishment didn't like that angle…They didn't want the people to hope. They wanted people to think that our Earth was beyond salvation…Desperate, terrified people…are much easier to control. They used Ella's sister to create the illusion of irreversible devastation, and then they preyed upon the weak and the hopeless, and convinced them to turn to The Reestablishment for support.”
Emmaline and Ella were designed for something called Operation Synthesis. Emmaline was meant to be the architect of the world, and Ella was to be the executioner. But Emmaline is dying. They need another powerful weapon with which to control the people. A contingency. A backup plan. The Reestablishment wanted Ella to replace her sister. If they were to magnify Ella's powers the way they did Emmaline’s, Ella “would become the equivalent of a human atom bomb. She could cause mass destruction. Excruciating pain. Death when they please. Across tremendous distances.”
Ella and Emmaline’s mother Evie “found a way to harness that electricity–and project it outward. All over the world.” Ella has already killed Evie, and now she has to kill her sister Emmaline. “It's what she wants. It's the only way."
!very very small spoıler does almost nothıng though!
ı thınk ıts a really good book and goes ınto depth of Juılettes past not a bıg fan of how her name changed half way through the serıes though, and ı do lıke when ıt swıtches POVs however ı dont lıke how there arent any chapters, so now ı mark chapters by when the POV swıtches
Ignıte me ıs the best book of the serıes so far and ıts so nıce to see how Tahereh's wrıtıng style has changed from 2015 tıl now.
