I love the I am number four series ! I devoured each book (except the first yes I Know ... why ? Because I watched the movie first and LOVED it so ... never got the book haha) But the rest of the series ... mind-blowing ! Even the Novellas !
So imagine my surprise when I stumble onto this book one day at the bookstore ! I just snatched it smiled !!!
I was afraid of reading it since the first books were just perfect, and after a little getting used to the new characters and the new plot, I fell right into it.
Love Taylor and Izzy ! some firing duo haha. Can't wait for a second book ... Especially w/ that end !
no spoiler don't worry <3

Bien mais sans plus. C’est intéressant d’en savoir plus sur « L’après » mais j’ai l’impression que l’auteur cherche trop loin.
Malgré un ensemble de personnages plutôt intéressants, je trouve globalement que ma lecture est fastidieuse. J’ai l’impression que le style de l’auteur est différent dans cette série : ces chapitres sont plus longs et moins accrocheurs.
Je continue sur ma lancée avec le tome 2 et on verra si ça s’améliore.

Deceptive
Either I didn't carefully read the synopsis or it was deceptively written. As in fugitive six isn't about Six but six new characters in this reboot. Slow start but becomes a good read. Looking forward to Taylor and number 4 hooking up

It was a very interesting read. I expected more protagonism from the original garde but I was pleasantly surprised with the new characters and their personalities.

I'm an Indigo employee, and I received an advanced reading copy of this book from the publisher, in exchange for my honest review.
4.5 stars
A whirlwind of action, fantasy, and good vs evil - this book was exactly what I needed to get me out of a reading rut. Following a group of Earth Garde, old and new, while also remaining chock full of cameos by some of our favourite characters from the original Lorien Legacies series, I could not put this book down.
Although it had been so long since I finished the I am number four series (I had to Look up the book summaries on Wikipedia so I could catch up), this book throws you right in to the new world after the Mogadorian attack. With a diverse and really likeable cast, and packed full of action and adventure, I am so excited to see the new directions this series will take.
Although I'm hoping for my favourite Lorics to have large cameos in the coming books, I must say I love this new group, and cannot wait to explore these characters more.
Perfect for fans of the I Am Number Four Series, or for X-men enthusiasts, I definitely recommend this action-packed read (although the context of having read the I Am Number Four series will definitely be important). It read a lot like an action movie, and I found myself thinking about it a lot, even after I finished it. It was just an overall really exciting read, and i cannot wait for the next one!
This book was an easy read, and I'm super curious to see these new characters grow and get some depth to them.
A fun, exciting read, I can't wait to see what's next! (Here's hoping this series won't be as long as the I Am Number Four series!)

REVIEW: Generation One is the first in a series of books spun-off from The Lorien Legacies. It follows the human Garde as they train to make sense of their powers after the war with the Mogadorians.
While I enjoyed this book and will definitely read the next ones, I didn’t find this series to be quite as engaging as The Lorien Legacies. I did appreciate that the characters were more diverse, and it was interesting seeing the new legacies that they’ve discovered. I also liked the school atmosphere. But it just seemed to be lacking some of the spirit of the Lorien Legacies. Maybe the series will get better on the second book, and I’m definitely not giving up on it.
Although there were some short cameos by characters from the original series, I wish there’d been more, to kind of tie the two series together more. I’ve heard that there are more of them in future books, so here’s hoping. 🙂
I would recommend this book to fans of The Lorien Legacies and YA science fiction/fantasy.

Readable ish with an attempt at a diverse cast. Some good ideas but just a bit shapeless and disappointing after the original book.

writing style became progressively better since book 1, new plot is interesting, especially the plot line with the spoiler. i wish we had more interactions with the original 7, but the new characters are cool:)
