Generation One by Pittacus Lore

4.0

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!)
