Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi is a dystopian fiction novel and the third book in the series. Juliette wakes up with the news that Omega Point is destroyed. She doesn’t know if Kenji, Adam, and the others are alive. Now, she must trust the last person she should, Warner, in hopes to takedown the Reestablishment. Juliette and Warner work together to save their dying world and friends. And perhaps Warner isn’t the villain everyone made him out to be. In my opinion, this book is the best in the series.
