Ignite Me

I have to say, throughout the first two books, Juliette was not my favorite protagonist ever. I didn't hate her by any means, but while I loved her voice (because Tahereh Mafi has the most gorgeous prose I've basically ever read), I didn't particularly love all of Juliette's decisions or her outlook.

That being said, Juliette's development from first book to last is incredible. This series easily has some of the most nuanced, dramatic and yet believable character development you'll find out there (so, for YA writers, this is a fabulous example of how to do character development right. Seriously).

What I also loved about the conclusion to this trilogy is that it didn't end anything like I expected it to. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll just refer back to the character development note, but that's really what resonated with me so strongly.

The only gripe I have is that I felt climax came and went a tad bit too quickly, but honestly, I loved the book far too much to really care.

So that about covers it! If you like fast-paced YA with fabulous character development and a truly unique and beautiful voice, I highly recommend this series. I loved every book and look forward to more of Mafi's work.
