Laura Minaker lulimina3399 — Weirdly organized but fascinating nonetheless. Especially if you already like design. I am now accepting gifts of ampersand T-shirts.

Roma Roman mr_oman — Excellent writing, good storyteller, with a feminist/east coast/historical/ethnobotanical bent. Loved it!

赵 赵志杰 fengzihua — I enjoyed "I Am Number Four". Despite a very familiar premise, it was well done and had potential. The sequel novella, "I Am Number Four: The Lost Files: Six's Legacy", was interesting and really pulled me in. The Power of Six blew them both away. Book one was told from Four's perspective, and the novella from Six's. This book switches between Seven narrating her life to this point while following the news for any hint of John, and Six, John and Sam on the run from the human authorities and the Mogs. I liked the alternating perspective because it kept the pacing of the book fast. It was action-packed with tension, chases and fight scenes. The author didn't slack by having Seven be just another copy of Six and Four's lives, either. Her Cepan lost faith and turned her back on Lorien, leaving Seven at a serious disadvantage. But she does have some very cool legacies. Also, John finally opens his chest and reads the letter from Henry. I've wondered how 9 kids were supposed to stand against a race that wiped out an entire world of people gifted like they are, and the book actually addresses this. The letter also has unexpected consequences for Sam, who has evolved from being just a tagalong to an ally. Plus, there's the surprising, and welcome, addition of the new character Ella. However, the book has a serious flaw. The romantic element started out predictable, moved to frustrating, and quickly became damn annoying. John's starting to fall for Six, but he loves Sarah. Sam likes Six too. Sam is John's friend but also jealous of him. Six likes-likes Sam, but also John. Bleh. I might not have been so annoyed except we're expected to believe these teens would be just like normal teens, only with homicidal aliens who murdered their parents after them! Sorry, I don't buy these kids making stupid, life-risking decisions (which John does on more than one occasion) because they're in "love". John doesn't just risk his life, but also Six and Sam. This after watching Henry die? Thankfully, the romantic element was significantly reduced compared to book 1 in favor of plot development. Also, it seems ridiculous that Henry would leave John a chest full of items that he doesn't know how to use and could even endanger him. Henry knew he could (and likely would) die at any time. It felt contrived. These were minor issues though. Overall, this was an engrossing read with a electrifying conclusion that left me eager for the next book. Highly recommended!

Toshl Finance _oshl — Still very good, but not a 5 star because I predicted to many things in this one. Still good though!
