Feature and Follow is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read.
This week's prompt is:
Best or favorite villains?
Hmm I had to think a little bit about this one but then I decided to go for something I'd read a few years ago. I'm going for Warner from the Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi. Warner was a person with many layers which we get to unravel as the series goes but I think he made for a good villain in Shatter Me.
Summary-
Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.
The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.
The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.
Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.

Who is your favourite villain?
Happy Friday, everybody! :)
Ooh yes! I liked Warner pretty much when I read his novella. It didn't excuse his prior behavior but it did allow me to better understand him!

I'll take your word for it! I'm not familiar with this book.
