Very precise!

"I LOVED this story a lot! It is like you are that character experiencing all those things! Also, it is VERY precise! Keep up the hard work! Fantastic job!"

You need to keep the story going....

"I really liked this and I am left wanting to read more."

Wonderful

"An amazing book with better story than you see in many books shocased in a book store. Trully a nice little offshoot of the distopian genre, with an origanal story line. Really, it was fantastic, and I eagerly await the next one. "

Just wow

"I am in awe of this story. Each character is very real and you begin to understand them. You feel their pain, their joy, their victory and their defeat. It is a fantastic beginning and I look forward to continuing this amazing series, if the author has written or plans to write more. I'm captivated. I cannot wait to find out how things turn out in the end."

Ignite is hot

"I enjoyed Danielle Rogland's take on the dystopian future and post-apocalyptic society. It was an immersive experience from the first chapter. I was hesitant at first I might lose interest or understanding with several viewpoints--quite the opposite. The individual voices added a multifaceted complexity to Rogland's gift for dialogue. This fast-paced sci-fi read is a unique experience."

I'm Obsessed

"Woohoo! I had SO much fun reading this story. I am in love with the characters. I absolutely adore Corry. I wish I could be like Jacks. Jeremy sounds like the coolest guy ever. My sister had so much fun reading it, that she started dreaming about Addy and Finn. I wish this novel had its own tv show. I sure hope there's a sequel. Am I rambling? I'm rambling... who cares?! This story was awesome!!!"

An Ambitious Debut

"One of the first guidelines told to beginning writers of genre fiction is to never write multiple first-person perspectives -- it only serves to confuse the reader. Well, Danielle Rogland has happily ignored this rule in her first novel, and she does so with marvelous results. "Ignite" (or as it was previously known, "The Last Burning of New London") is a dystopian YA novel about a group of freedom fighters working in the ruins of London. Danielle's prose is clean and expressive, and while the plot is fairly straightforward for the genre, it is well-paced and does its job. However, it is in her character work that Rogland really shines, and it is because of this strong character work that her use of the first-person succeeds in keeping four different characters distinct and compelling.. Told through the eyes of Jacks, a young, newly recruited pickpocket; Jeremy, an easy-going mechanic; Corry, a stoic second-in-command; and Zira, a fearless leader with a hidden past. Rogland's deep understanding of her characters and a well-established set of relationships between them keeps the reader well-oriented in each character's perspective. Overall, "Ignite" is a solid and enjoyable YA novel. The tone of the novel is comparable to such contemporary novels as Brandon Sanderson's Reckoners series, but with a greater emphasis placed on characters and immersion into the supplementary events that make the setting of a post-apocalyptic London come fully alive. This isn't a story that makes you want to find out what happens next. It's a story that makes you want to follow its characters wherever they go."

Multifaceted YA

"In my opinion, the best thing about this novel was its structure. The plot advances a little each chapter, told from a rotating series of perspectives. It creates a broad sympathy on the part of the reader, and a real sense of crisis when the essential group of characters threatens to pull apart. The dramatic irony is that we know they belong together, even if they don't. We have a glimpse of a perfection in their relationships that is harder to see from the gritty, dystopian street level they inhabit. It's a cleverly structured tale, perfectly pitched for a YA audience."

A Thrilling Tale for Anglophiles Everywhere

"Ignite kept me hooked from start to finish. A thrilling tale of a group of talented, clever young people who have formed a badass secret society to take down an oppressive regime and keep on surviving? Count me in. Each of the Flames has unique skills and traits, making them interesting both individually and as a group (where each one is essential). The story is high-stakes and exciting, and the fact that it takes place in a dystopian version of London made the Anglophile in me so happy. With heists, hackers, chases, fights, hints of romance, and much more, there truly is something for everyone. If you haven't read it yet... what are you waiting for?!"

Read this book!

"Thank you Danielle Rogland! I loved Ignite. Thank you to inkett for giving me a chance to read it!! It was unique, interesting, and a great read. The character development was splendid and it was hard to put down. I’m not typically into sci-fi or traditional dystopian books, but this one is definitely the exception. I love books that are told from multiple perspectives. I find that it enhances the character development and keeps the plot interesting as well. It also doesn’t feel redundant, which can happen in multiple perspective books. Each character feels unique and adds their own take to the story. Can't wait to read it to my kids!!"

Ignite

"This was an amazing read! I was hooked from the very first chapter, holding my breadth to see what would happen next. The characters are rich and vibrant, and the world Danielle has created is fascinating. If you love YA, you MUST read this book. Such a smart, brilliant debut novel. I loved it!"

A refreshing interpretation

"I found this book to be an incredibly refreshing take on classic dystopian themes. The melding of futuristic and old technology coupled with the author's elegant prose enhanced the atmosphere and really brought to life to the world she has created. Additionally, the story is told from not one but 4 different perspectives each of which has a distinct voice and personality. Ultimately, you're left with a wonderfully unique work that breathes new life into the young adult science fiction genre, something it so desperately needs. I highly recommend you give it a read, it is well worth your time."

Ignite

"Although I'm not usually into reading sci-fi, it the style, plot and especially characters (part of it being the different perspectives) really impressed me and elevated the whole storyline to another level. Wonderful all around and really recommendable."

A+ YA story

"Engaging, relatable characters that all get their time in the limelight. The "group of rebels taking down oppressive government regime" plot line has a humble feeling to it that keeps the story interesting and fresh. Great read all around."

Very Good!

"The pacing is great, the characters are relatable and full of pathos, and the world building is wonderfully detailed. While the dystopian genre might be a bit played-out at this point, Ignite is unique and exciting."
