One word: Cool!
If you're hesitant to read the second book because of I am Number Four, I should tell you that The Power of Six is nothing like its prequel. It's so much better and I totally recommend this series on anyone who like aliens with cool powers, beastly alien villains and action packed scenes.

It was as if this book was written by a preteen with ADD and without the help of an editor and if they forgot half the stuff of the first book. Everyone in this book is too stupid to live, seriously by the end I was hoping they would all die and this would be the end but it goes on.

“I’ve seen him on the news. Followed the stories about what happened in Ohio. John Smith, out there, on the run. To the world, he’s a mystery. But to me … he’s one of us.”
The Power of Six is told from two different viewpoints, John Smith, aka Four and a new character, Marina, also known as Seven. Two different typefaces and the changing of viewpoints every two chapters help the reader keep track of who’s who.
John, Six and Sam have left Paradise, Ohio and the battle at the school with the Mogadorians. Soon John and Sam are suspected terrorists and on the FBI’s most wanted list. As they travel around the country incognito, readers learn more about Four and Six’s life since coming to Earth. John struggles with Henri’s death and leaving behind Sarah Hart, the love of his life.
While on the lam in the United States, Number Seven now known as Marina and her Cepan, Adeline, are introduced. For many years, the two have lived in relative obscurity in a convent in Spain. Adeline has chosen a life of God and steadfastly refuses to train Marina in her legacies. Left alone, Marina has come into them by accident at times. Upon seeing the news reports of the wanted fugitive John Smith from the US, Marina is certain that he is also one of the nine who escaped from Lorien. She begins to make plans to find him since Adeline is no help to her. Soon a new orphan, seven-year-old Ella comes to the convent and Marina enlists her aid to help locate her chest.
Before too long, the Mogadorians not only have John, Six and Sam in their sights but Marina as well. A bit slow in the beginning with the background details about Marina’s life, the second half of the book explodes as Four and Six attempt to join up with Seven. Three have been killed and only six are left.
This volume ends in a major cliffhanger and this reader is eagerly awaiting word if there will be another book.
I Am Number Four: The Lost Files: Six’s Legacy
Six’s Legacy is a novella in eBook form that briefly tells Six’s background story on Earth with her Cepan Katarina. Their capture by the Mogadorians and Katarina’s death is chapter eight of The Power of Six if you don’t read the novella.

Im glad I stuck with this series, this book was a lot less cheesey. It has multiple narrators which I also enjoyed and a better plot in my opinion. Most of the first half is build up and the most important events happen at the end but there’s enough stuff sprinkled throughout that it holds your attention.

The authors writing still leaves a lot to wish for but the storyline is good. Slightly improved from the first one however still the descriptions are boring and dialogues predictable, cheesy ("can I love only one?" "I love you forever" etc.)
