Enders by Lissa Price

heathercottledillon's review against another edition

4.0

I really liked "Starters," so the bar was set high for this sequel. Fortunately, it met my expectations. There's plenty of action and lots of twists--including some happy ones. I like that the romance aspect is subtle and definitely a secondary part of the story, as these days so many teen dystopias are actually romance posing as sci-fi. A few aspects of the story didn't seem to fit, and the end felt a bit rushed. Still, I found "Enders" to bring a satisfying conclusion to Callie's story.

Actually a 4.5, but I have some open questions about the book. :)

This book was a mind game and I loved it.

I'm not sure what I expected. I enjoyed it, I was shocked, relieved and just plain pissed off at moments.

This review will have spoilers, so beware. I feel like I can't talk about it without giving things away.

Let's start with Hyden. I really effing liked this guy. At no point did I not trust him. Not once. Even when we found out that he was the 'Old Man' I knew he was going to have a perfectly good explanation for it. So why was I really upset that it ended with no brought out real feelings between him and Callie?? I know there was so much going on that they didn't really have that chance, but really, it could have been squeezed in somewhere.

There were so many twists and turns and I loved the action that was brought forward compared to the first. Callie grew on me, slowly, but in the end she turned out to be an incredibly brave girl.

I am so happy that Callie found her father. I knew in my gut that he was alive and I'm even more happy that he wasn't on the bad side of things. Just wish it didn't take so long to find him.

My biggest reason for not giving this book more then 3 stars was the fact that I really didn't feel 'satisfied' with the ending. I really wanted to know more about what they are joining into. Is this really the end to the series? I was sure it was, and if it is I don't like all the questions I have been left with. I wanted to know how relationships really turned out, how everything may work out etc. I don't know.

I did really enjoy the book though. Just wish there was a biiiiit more.

Really disappointing book. Author clearly subscribes to the ridiculous plot twist school of literature.

Even more action in this second in what clearly must be a trilogy! As soon as things look like they've settled down for Callie and Tyler, more nefarious characters swarm their precariously happy life. They're on the run again, and this time Callie won't be able to get away from the voice inside her own head. Talk about feeling helpless against her enemies!

An acceptable wrap up

An acceptable wrap up

Enders provides an adequate wrap up to Starters. The plotting is still a little weak but the basic concept holds pretty steady.

Good, but not as good as the first one.
