The Thing About Books: Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi

This post is going to be one very fangirlish and spoilerish post.
SO PLEASE IF YOU HAVE NOT YET READ SHATTER ME/UNRAVEL ME/IGNITE ME
DO NOT CONTINUE! You are most certainly welcome to join
 our thoughts and fangirl-ishness once you have read Ignite Me :D :D 
Without further ado...

~Ignite Me~


Taherah Abbas
Ignite Me was a MIND BLOWING, AMAZING, and just full of AWESOMNESSSSS. I CANT EVEN *flails*

Caitlyn Crowe
Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. Warner. WARNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *dies*

Taherah Abbas
OMG YES! I cant even begin to describe him and how much this book intensified my feelings for him

Caitlyn Crowe
Just, just, just. He likes fashion and that time when she was clicking the button and he runs in and is like just. Just. Just. And then when she has her nightmare. And. And. And. I DONT EVEN HAVE ANY WORDS OH! MY! GOSH!

Taherah Abbas
DUDE WHEN HE BROKE DOWN WHEN HIS MOM DIES AND HOW VULNERABLE HE WAS BROKE MY HEART

Caitlyn Crowe
AND WHEN HE SAID HE LOVED HER AND JUST LIKE EVERY TIME HE LOOKED OR TALKED TO HER OR ANYTHING!!! IF THERE WAS SUCH THING AS DOUBLE CAPS I WOULD BE IN THEM 10000000000%

Taherah Abbas
AND HOW HE TRIED STAYIN AWAY FROM HER AND JUST TOO CUTE GAH

Caitlyn Crowe
BUT EVEN WHEN HE WAS TRYING TO STAY AWAY FROM HER HE COULDN'T! OMG AND HIS REACTIONS WHEN SHE CALLED HIM AARON

Taherah Abbas
He's actually very quiet and very observant and a person I would think as "too cool" for whatever it is he does

Caitlyn Crowe
He's just amazing and tops every other person ever. Because he's awesome. I can't describe him. I think he's actual how I'll start to judge people "Eh, yeah he's cool. But he's no Warner!"

Taherah Abbas
He's so protective of Juliet and understanding. He's all mush under that very nicely toned exterior ;D

Caitlyn Crowe
Hot. Hot, toned, superb, fashion savvy, gorgeous, asshole but not really, strong, fit, awesome exterior.

Taherah Abbas
Basically :P I love Juliet's thoughts when she sees Warner's closet. "He has a soft spot for fashion." XD I just cant

Caitlyn Crowe
OMG AND HOW CAN WE FORGET JULIETTE'S AMAZINGNESS!?!?!?!?!?!

Taherah Abbas
DUDE. That was legit the biggest change I noticed in the book. I am sososososo glad that she reverts to this non-depressed, determined, "WE CAN DO IT" type of person. It's so great seeing her this determined to have the freedom she's been wanting and being able to take control of her ability and not fear it as she usually did. She makes one awesome leader.

Caitlyn Crowe
And I love how she doesn't take shit from *anyone.* Even Adam. And that weird sound waves dude at the end. Her mindset is just " I don't care who you are, or what I have to do, I am fighting because I'm tired of being a fucking coward" YES! DAMN GURL! YOU GO! YOU GO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYONE! YOU DO THAT!

Taherah Abbas
WOOHOO WE APPLAUD YOU JULIET. And right?! She's straightforward and honest about her feelings that it doesn't lead to any irrelevant or irritating complications

Caitlyn Crowe
MMM! I love how Warner saw that in her FROM THE VERY BEGINNING! Even when no one else did! YES ANOTHER POINT TO WARNER (no its like 10,000,000-1 against Adam...who has one...but only because of James and that end bit where he wasn't a total dick to Warner)

Taherah Abbas
Exactly. I honestly wasn't even sure if she would be able to take control of a situation like this and kind of change from how she was in the first two books. But she did and it's one of the reasons why it made Ignite Me so much more enjoyable than the first two books

Caitlyn Crowe
AND SHE SHUT OFF HER POWERS *DANCES IN A FIELD OF FLOWERS*

Taherah Abbas
B.O.O.M

Caitlyn Crowe
Right. Just right!
And the way we find out! *head explodes*
and then she tells him she loves him
AND THEN THEY FUCK

Taherah Abbas
Oh god. I was about to strangle Adam

Caitlyn Crowe
If I could have I would have...and then I would've ran to find Warner, tackle him with a hug grinning like and idiot, jump back, flip a peace sign, and run away (and take KENJI with me)

Taherah Abbas
Ok. We need to talk about Kenji. KENJIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII <3 <3 <3

Caitlyn Crowe
HIM. HE'S JUST. KENJIIIIIIIIIIIII

Taherah Abbas
MY FAVORITE CHARACTER IN THE BOOK. IM SORRY WARNER. BUT KENJI. ALWAYS.

Caitlyn Crowe
I THINK THEY'RE LIKE EQUAL BUT YES! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES AAAAAAHHHHHHHH *PRANCES AROUND* JUST THIS BOOK!!!!

Taherah Abbas
Omg James is A.DOR.A.BULL.
All the questions he asks Warner and how unafraid he is of him is hilarious

Caitlyn Crowe
Can I just. Can I just, can I just, like marry this book? Please. Please? Please. I just...I love it. With all my heart.

Taherah Abbas
You have my blessing. I call maid of honor.

Caitlyn Crowe
Do you think Tahereh Mafi will mind I'm marrying her baby? And you can totally be the maid of honor

Taherah Abbas
I shall ask and I think she should be the one that gives her blessing.

Caitlyn Crowe
This is true. I hope she says yes. Because I really think this book is the one. (this is getting slightly creepy)

Taherah Abbas
*sniffles* Caitlyn. You're growing up. (XD)

Caitlyn Crowe
*grins at you then shoves your arm*

Taherah Abbas
;3 And I really do wish we had a better ending. Well not better per se just more of it

Caitlyn Crowe
Just an epilogue. I would love a 6 month or 1 year or 5 years or 10 years later novella. In fact I would die.

Taherah Abbas
I think we all would. It would be great to have an insight on how life is for all of them

Caitlyn Crowe
Plus baby Warner. Could you just imagine it Taherah. BABY WARNER! AND KENJI! AND GROWN UP JAMES AND *dies*

Taherah Abbas
*squeals* *spazzes* *dies*

Caitlyn Crowe
Great. We're both dead...now what?
And now for plot

Taherah Abbas
I kinda loved how they were able to convince the soldiers and civilians to join the war because it is their fight

Caitlyn Crowe
Ooo, and I liked how she single handedly took out an entire battalion and only killed like two people

Taherah Abbas
DUDE. EPIC.

Caitlyn Crowe
And I loved how in the first part of the book it was just her and Warner so she could begin to trust him and he could explain why he did what he did

Taherah Abbas
A heart to heart. Very nice. It was kinda surprising realizing the fact that Warner really did not know how much Juliet hated him

Caitlyn Crowe
It was both hysterical and so heartbreakingly sad. AND WHEN HE CONFESSED TO HER UGH MY HEART BROKE! IT REALLY DID!

Taherah Abbas
True that. His willingness to do whatever for Juliet made me fall in love with him even more

Caitlyn Crowe
There truly is no one like Aaron Warner.

Taherah Abbas
And with that I would give this 5 stars. It truly deserves it.

Caitlyn Crowe
If I could give it more, I probably would

Taherah Abbas
^_^ Agreed.

Hope you guys enjoyed or could at least handle our spazziness :P
