Its before all the events in ignite me.
The only reason Taherah mafi made Adam SAY some imo harmless stuff was so she can make her main character look right when she is not...Adam has so much trauma and everybody in the fandom hates him even though the love and simp for their fav for the same exact reason.
All Adam ever wanted to do was protect James.
At the end of the day, his family came before him.
Booktok will scream but just bc u like hot villains does not mean you ignore the hero
Hold up. I just found out Adam Kent gets a novella in Shatter Me??? Is it good??? Does he get a happy ending??? Has anyone read it who can tell me???
I will not be getting back to the rest of the series but I might just read Adam Kent’s novella. For spite. And because I love his character.

"And me," he says
"You are my friend," I tell him
"But not your best friend. Kenji is your best friend."
I try so hard not to laugh at the jealousy in his voice.
"Yes, but you're my favourite friend."
-Ignite me, Taherah Mafi.

FL-inspired book recs, part 2!
part 1 here
Locations
The Shuttered Palace: Did You Hear About Kitty Karr? by Crystal Smith Paul. when Kitty Karr, a white film star, dies and leaves her estate to the Black St. John sisters, everyone wants to know why. Elise, the oldest of the three sisters, takes on the responsibility of getting Kitty’s affairs in order, and stumbles on a secret that could change everything. told in both Elise’s words and Kitty’s own, the book examines wealth, fame, race, gender, family, and the inner workings of Hollywood. I’m not usually very into the palace, but I think the themes here of family ties, facades, and who exactly gets to be rich and famous could be a nice parallel.
The Stacks: Ink and Bone by Rachel Caine. an alternate history where the library of Alexandria was never destroyed, and now controls all the world’s knowledge. Jess Brightwell, a book smuggler, passes the entrance exam to join the Library’s ranks. but nothing about the Library is quite what it seems, and Jess and his fellow postulants are about to learn just how powerful- and dangerous- knowledge can be. this is the first book in what is honestly one of my favorite series that I’ve ever read.
The Brass Embassy: The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo. a retelling of The Great Gatsby from Jordan Baker’s point of view, set in a version of the Jazz Age with demons, magic, and the possibility of losing your soul. Vo’s version of Jordan is a queer Vietnamese woman adopted by the wealthy Baker family as a child, and I loved her narration. I don’t really care for the original great gatsby, but this version hooked me immediately.
Exceptional Stories
Caveat Emptor: Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu. isolated but wealthy households, mysterious characters that you know are vampires but the protagonist doesn’t, be careful what you wish for, something oddly romantic about what the narrator and the antagonist have going on… sound familiar? I think Carmilla is technically a novella, so it’s a shorter read than some of these other books.
Factions
The Masters: The Bartimaeus Sequence by Johnathan Stroud. a series of four books (a main trilogy and a prequel) that takes place in an alternate London where the government is controlled by magicians who get their powers from summoning spirits. the first book, The Amulet of Samarkand, is narrated alternatively by Bartimaeus, a djinni summoned to help a young apprentice get revenge on a powerful rival, and Nathaniel, an ambitious magician’s apprentice whose revenge plot soon spirals out of control. Stroud’s magicians parallel FBG’s masters in many ways, and one that jumps out immediately is Nathaniel’s later role as the information minister, and how closely it resembles Pages’s ministry of public decency.
The University: The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. it’s about an experiment gone awry, and the truths that might be better left unfaced. another novella, this classic horror story may have been inspired by a friend of Stevenson’s, a french teacher who appeared to be a perfectly normal academic, but turned out to have murdered his wife and possibly several other people by poisoning them. this, along with the focus on Jekyll’s previous high status in the academic community, puts me in mind of the investigations in the university storyline, and the Summerset vs Benthic rivalry.
The Tomb-Colonies: Whichwood by Taherah Mafi. when Laylee’s mother dies, and her father abandons her, she is left as the only mordeshoor in the village of Whichwood. she spends her days washing the bodies of the dead and preparing their souls for the afterlife. rejected by the townspeople and slowly dying as her magic is drained away, her only company is the dozens of ghosts in her shed, awaiting burial. one day, she meets Alice and Oliver, two strangers on a mission to save her. this is technically a companion to one of Mafi’s earlier books, Furthermore, but I read Whichwood before I knew there was another book, and I understood it perfectly fine.

“Maas ruined tamlin after making him so good”
👏that👏is👏the👏point👏of👏an👏abusive👏character👏
No one says this about Taherah Mafi and Adam. No one says this about Colleen Hoover and Ryle.
One that makes you love them, with a few red flags that most people will look over, until the ultimatum.

A THOUSAND BOY KISSES BY TILLIE COLE BOOK REVIEW <3
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️:
It demonstrates the complexities of human relationships so well. I never felt like one person was the “villain”(except for Avery). They were all flawed characters and it’s what made the book so beautiful. How they talk about religion in this book is so refreshing. Having two people with separate beliefs still respect and love each other was a touching and down to earth choice. The way heaven is spoken about in this book is genuinely so amazing. It’s shows how much hope and faith is connected to the belief because no one really knows for sure what happens after death. But everytime Tillie Cole referred to death as “going home” I wanted to bawl my eyes out. Everything in this book was so poetic and not at all what I assumed this book would be. Loved it to its core.
🌶️:
Little to no spice. The two times they had s3x were not at all graphic. I also loved that it felt more like how I believe God wants that act to be done, with someone you love, trust, and respect. It should be a higher level of affection and not just a one night stand type thing (Of course that’s my personal belief, live life however you want. I will never judge anyone for something like that <3) The writer put more meaning into the emotions than the actual act which I absolutely adored. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good smut book now and then but the simplicity was a nice change.
WOULD I RECOMMEND?:
100% I think everyone should read this book at least once in their lifetime. It really makes you realize how beautiful life is.
WHEN SHOULD YOU READ IT?:
At 2am so you’re exhausted and also sad, it will really have you crying. 10/10 experience would recommend
THINGS THAT MIGHT BE TURN OFFS:
The main characters are minors when they have s3x and the first time they are under the age of consent. Usually I would find this disturbing but with the lack of description I didn’t have a problem with it.
Religion is a main part of this book but with Rune being atheistic I think it’s a good balance so that everyone can enjoy it without feeling uncomfortable. (The religious beliefs presented in this book is heaven and God. No mention of Homophobia or Transphobia which I know are sensitive topics at the moment. Since this is my first review post I’d like to make it clear that I support everyone unless you show unnecessary hate to others <3)
TARGET AGE AUDIENCE:
I would say 8th grade and above. Honestly it was less graphic than Shatter Me by Taherah Mafi which is in most middle school libraries where I live (in the south btw so that says something.)
With that being said if you’re looking at this for your kid please know that this a summarized age group and does not reflect how you are raising your child. You should still come to your own conclusions.
With That First Review Done, Have a blessed day and Happy Reading! <333

Thank you anon! For people looking for books recs too, please check her out. 💌

(Sorry for the abundance of fourth wing reposts but it’s midnight over here, I’ll think of something better in the morning)
