We could have seen more of the people of Omega Point while getting glimpses into the memories that Warner and Juliette were recalling. If Mafi kept Kenji’s POV, it would have allowed us to follow what he and Nazeera were doing as they try to save Warner and Juliette. I was disappointed to see that even though we started with Kenji’s POV, we lose it throughout the book. However there was too much of it and there needed to be something else running in the background to give the book a lot more structure. Defy Me focusses on the past between Juliette and Warner. This meant that there was really no backbone to hold the book up, and the flashbacks were just truckloads of information dumped onto the reader. The scenes were disjointed and the majority of the chapters had some form of a flashback included in them. They were both stuck in this weird state of limbo where they remember the past they had together. The plot of Defy Me had very little structure to it as Warner and Juliette have been captured. The two of them are fighting for there lives as the true plans and horrors of The Reestablishment finally comes to light.ĭefy Me begins with Kenji’s POV, which was a pleasant surprise, but cracks in the plot begin show rather quickly as you keep on reading. Defy Me follows both Warner and Juliette as they begin to remember the events of the past.

They both are held captive by Evie and Max Sommers who just so happen to be Juliette’s parents. The rest of the Omega Point gang are still stuck in sector 45 whereas Warner and Juliette have been kidnapped. The book did not progress as I hoped and it has left me thinking on whether the Shatter Me series should have stayed a trilogy.ĭefy Me follows straight after the events of Restore Me. I finally managed to finish reading Defy Me, and it has been a mix of both good and bad. With Imagine Me set to release in the UK on April 2nd I have been playing a game of catch up with the Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi.
