A review by irraya
Generation One by Pittacus Lore

5.0

I've enjoyed the Lorien Legacy books quite a bit. They're short, quick reads that pack a punch.

This is the start of a new series, and I wasn't sure how it would start off with new characters, and me wanting more of John Smith and the others. However the authors seem to have nailed this spin-off, unlike Rick Riordan.

One good thing is that the original cast are not really in the book, and hence aren't a distraction from the 6 new characters.

Spoiler

We have Nine, but he seems like a different character.

Another plus was that there aren't long gaps between character view points.

We're introduced to 6 new characters, some of whom were in United as One. And a lot of new, fun legacies. These characters were fun and quirky, and they quickly captivated me.

This book has everything I loved in the Lorien Legacies - humour, heart aching feelings, friendship, romance, villains, and most of all, action.

Such books are a distraction from life. so I don't much like reality stepping in. Politics, money, greed, big cooperations, and such. This book has those in full swing, and while I didn't like it, I didn't hate it. It'll be interesting to see where this story goes.

Looking forward to more books.
