Oh wow. Dystopian used to be one of my favourite genres and I've missed reading it. Ignite was absolutely wonderful, and Austin, Tan and Mack were the perfect trio. Loved Tan's sweetness, Mack's innocence and Austin's take charge attitude. Looking forward to book 2 and I need more of cutie Pax the alien.

Great!
Amazing start to the series. Bad things are implied but not in graphic detail which keeps this from being too dark. The world they find themselves in is horrific for them. I like that they all brought something different to the table.

It’s been awhile since I’ve read anything dystopian and thought I’d give this series a try. The premise is interesting but unfortunately a lot of the dialogue just felt very stiff and awkward at times.

The romance is only briefly starting in that first book but I really enjoyed how different they are from each other, how they have different strengths and seem to complete each other pretty well whether it's physically or emotionally.

Trigger warnings: mentions of/attempted rape, physical assault, murder, graphic descriptions of violence, homophobia.
If that sounds like a lot, nearly all of that happens within the first ten pages or so. If you don't have the mental energy to push through that, I totally get it and you should not read this book.
Anytime the main characters meet someone the reader isn't supposed to like, they'll do tr say something homophobic - which I found rather tiring after a while.
I decided to DNF this title, as, after three months since I first downloaded it, I still hadn't finished it and could only read a handful of pages before quitting again.
For me, the story isn't compelling enough to continue. The danger is meh at best. Aliens who want to take over Earth, because reasons. Mhm, I'll stick to Independence Day for that overdone trope.
Overall, 3.5 out of 5. Some good points, but not enough to give it a higher rating.
