![]() The main mystery of this book is who is the Old Man? Oh, and what ever happened to Callie’s dad? I wish I could say that I didn’t see either of these answers coming, but to be honest, they were pretty predictable. Unless you count Hayden, which I don’t, because it was completely ridiculous. Neither of these developments came to much and romantic undertones were definitely missing. Where was Michael, where was the tense love triangle? (Although I don’t lament that loss too much!) I though Michael was going to turn into a major love interest, and as for Blake, there was promise there too. I don’t think Enders was as character based as its predecessor, it certainly didn’t go out of its way to create new relationships, or even develop much on the ones already established. It was quite a bit different from Starters and didn’t have that same contemporary/sci-fi blend that I love so much. It nicely tied up any loose ends, and desperately tried to answer any of our lingering questions. ![]() ![]() I have to say that I was slightly confused upon starting Enders since it’s been such a long time since I read Starters. I couldn’t quite remember who the main character was outside of her enhanced body and how was the evil again? Why is this Old Man’s voice in her head? This book didn’t do a great job of quickly summarising the first book, but eventually I found my way back.Įnders was a whirlwind of action and accusations. ![]() ![]() But there are lots more books about Princess Diana where that came from, including tell-alls from people who knew her well, and even fictionalized accounts that pull from the headlines we all devoured at the time.

He may have good hair, vibrant eyes, and fine features, but all that's lost on his high school classmates: to them he's a gangly, awkward-limbed, tongue-tied goof who they've nicknamed "Coma Man" with an embarrassing crush on Carla, the prettiest girl in school.
