The Rise of Nine by Pittacus Lore

3.0

For some reason, I didn't get as much out of this book compared to the last one. It is a common plot device to separate characters and have part of the main conflict in the book being if they can somehow find their way back to each other. I have never been a big fan of this type of conflict, because they inevitably find their way back together, and meanwhile, the character we want to be together are apart from each other.

That said, separating the characters allowed Four to get to know Nine better, and we got better insight into Six and Seven with them both as narrators. I still felt like this book was more of a set-up for future books and not enough happened besides a few mindless battles and the introduction of a few more numbers.
