'Ignite Me' is the third book of the Shatter Me series and it is an improvement. The writing style has improved a lot, with less repetitions and overwrites, and with a better narration from our main hero.
Also, the story gives more details when it comes to the whole universe and what was actually happening.
However, there were some things that were still eye rolling.
The romance was nice, but the switch from Adam to Aaron, especially with having whole chapters explaining how he is indeed a great guy but everyone has misunderstood him...or Julliet trying to explain how she wasn't in love with Adam after all with every opportunity she got.
But, worst of all, was the whole deal with Julliet becoming the leader not only of the revolution, but also the future leader of the country. I mean, not only she is a teenager, but she is also dealing with huge trauma and for the whole two previous books she didn't even have a straight stream of thoughts. Take her big speech for instance, which, apparently got everyone on her side like that, the whole army, it was more or less laughable.
Hopefully, things will get better... (?)
