![]() ![]() No matter what it was, it was really good to see her take control of her life again! That’s what I missed in the other book! Our strong and independent girl that makes decisions and acts on them, throwing all caution into the wind! *lol* Okay, she didn’t throw ALL caution into the wind but she certainly acted more like herself in this one. XD Maybe it were all those memories that made her stronger or the fact that her biological parents are horrible. Now the Juliette – or Ella – in this book was exactly my kind of girl! After reading “Restore Me” I wasn’t happy with the direction in which her character developed, but I’ve to say that I really like that new Ella. How many years we’d fought for moments – minutes – to be together.” I had no idea how desperately we’d been fighting. ”I had no idea how much we’d lost, no idea how much of him I’d longed for. This said: Pirates ye be warned! -P Proceed at your own risk! This said, let’s talk about the characters! And believe me, there’s a lot to talk about! -PĪnd here comes another warning: My characters section is full of spoilers and to read through it might kill some of your enjoyment when you actually read the book. ![]() ![]() *lol* Anyway, I still enjoyed it and even though I’m worried about the last book I’ll still read it, because I really hope that Mafi will be able to tie everything up with a nice bow. Urgh, look at me trying to find the right words. So whilst I enjoy character driven books I still would have liked for the plot to have a little bit more substance. So did I enjoy “Defy Me”? Yes and no! Yes, because as I already said I got a lot of my favourite characters and no, because the plot kind of lacked depth? I mean sure, there were quite a lot of revelations but when it comes to the pace it was really slow and there actually didn’t happen a lot. Urgh! I hate myself for even thinking this, but it is the way it is and you all know you’ll always get unapologetic honesty from me. So while I’m all like: Gimmi more!!! I also feel like this series has been going on for too long and that it probably would have been best to stop after book 3. And this is me, one of the series biggest fans, speaking their mind. The longer this series continues the more it gets unrealistic and crazy though. I just love Warner, I adore Kenji and I like Juliette (or Ella) and therefore I’ll always be happy to read more about them. “Shatter Me” is one of the first series I binged and loved and there’s always this sort of nostalgia when I read another of Mafi’s books. On the one hand this was totally not what I expected it to be, but on the other hand it was still good somehow?! I don’t know how to explain this but I was kind of disappointed by how it all turned out, yet at the same time I was going with the flow and enjoyed many scenes and parts of the book. *lol* Joking aside I’ve to admit that my feelings about “Defy Me” are pretty mixed. I think that sentence indicates the overall mood of this book, because wow, the world truly is on fire. ![]()
