Definitely worth my time and one of the best Rose/Scorpius fanfiction I have read.

Rose is clever, but she just isn`t the top of her year. She cares and tries to control things..

Scorpius is making this story great. His character in this story is how I have always imagined him. Someone confident and feeling dispensable at the same time, cool, reckless, with internal conflicts... and with guitar :-)

Albus is probably the only character who felt off for me...but Albus in The Cursed Child actually makes sense to me, so I am weird like that... he seems kind of patronising in this story and his friendship with Scorpius is not at its best (I would like to see flashbacks), but maybe I just missed some of his point of view...

Matuselah Jones is one of the best original characters ever! The genius who understands magical theory and who actually uses runes.. description of magic in this story are amazing!

Original characters of this story were amazing - brilliant and flawed at the same time. The story kept me waiting for the next chapter and I even liked the ending and the new events in the wizarding world. Altogether in this broader story politics seem to play an important role... I am excited for the sequel...

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this book as I'm not generally into any sort of fan fiction. This blew my expectations out the water. Ignite had all the things you could want in the first of a series; plot and character development, a storyline which didn't lose interest and wasn't overly predictable. It left me feeling like I had finished a genuine addition to the HP universe and left me wanting more. The only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars was the need for further editing to eliminate typos and awkward sentences which do come up occasionally.

Overall, awesome story and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

One of the most enthralling fanfiction. The characters are well described. The detailing is done beautifully by the author. The plot line is gripping enough!
