Tyvärr inte en så speciell bok, vilket är lite tråkigt när det är den sista boken i serien. Kenji gjorde dock hela historien värd det. Men boken var ändå bra och bokserien som helhet är faktiskt en av mina favoriter!

Idc what anyone says, I love this series. 
I’ve been rereading it since there is the spin off coming out. 
I wasn’t a fan of the last three books the first time but since rereading it-
I love them, they’re soooo much more darker than the first three ☠️
Poor Juliette spends six books being tortured in one form or another like give that poor girl a break 😭

 “Imagine me
master of my own universe
I am everything I ever dreamed of."

Ummm... wow this book really dropped the ball on this whole series... I honestly had no idea why it went in the direction that it did,

why would Adam do something like that, why was Warner acting so moody - it felt like his character development regressed back to his Shatter Me era, why did Juliette become hypnotized or whatever that was, what a stupid way to bring her back, why was she attracted to ANDERSON of all people????

I think this book suffered from a lack of Warner's pov, I had gotten used to it after Restore Me and Defy Me, so to get his POV at the very end was a bit... frustrating for me. The writing remained pretty much the same over the whole series. Warner and Kenji and their bromance was the redeeming factor of this book. I don't think Taherah Mafi can write good finales... Ignite Me was also very random for me. Defy Me was the best book for me, and this one is the worst. 

Final Ranking (Not including Novellas cause those were all the same for me):

1. Defy Me
2. Restore Me
3. Shatter Me
4. Ignite Me
5. Unravel Me
6. Imagine Me

To the world she was a formidable force. To me? She was the world

 

DAMN.

To be honest I thought the first 150 pages were a bit boring and I was so close to just taking about a month to read but I'm glad I didn't. The mid-ending is SO SO worth it. If you're a fan of the Warnette relationship then this WILL be the book for you just after some time. 

There isn't much Juliette in the first 100 pages or so just kinda her dissoassociating which was a bit annoying to me one of the reasons for the knocked down rating

 

I found the Anderson stuff and Juliette finding him handsome really weird but in like a good way? As in it was good to know he was discomforted by something and it really highlighted his delirium and psychosis

Warner is Warner in this as usual and I do love the enornity of his love for Juliette as always

though he's a bit out of it I feel like he could've been worse

All in all, found it to be boring at first but definitely the end pulled it through for me. It's worth it I'd say.
