Reasons I want to read & own this book:
1. The genre. I really am falling in love with young adult dystopian novels. Shatter Me (book 1) in this series was a mix of a post apocalyptic world with a dash of xmenish vibes because some characters have unique powers and are willing to risk it all to get away from the oppressive system/government in the story.
2. The villain. Warner. I just loved how complex he was. Beautiful on the outside, corrupt and tyrannical on the inside yet somewhat vulnerable with a hidden longing. When you hate and love a character, all at the same time, and feel confused as a reader on how to feel, you know you have a winning character in terms of depth.
What do you guys think? :)
