This is a great introductory short to the Starters series. I read the chapter sampler for Starters before reading this short and I love how it all fits together so far.
I can't wait to read Starters and learn more about this world. I loved the little twist at the end. Looking forward to more from this series. Jan 04, Kelly rated it really liked it. I haven't read yet the others books in the series, but I really like the world that Lissa Price has created.
I liked to read an extract with Michael's point of view. It left me wanting to know more about it and read the entire books! If you hadn't read yet the entire books in the series you can read this before, like I did. It's very quick but really good. And maybe some day I'll read the series. View 1 comment.

I loved this story. Oh, another crazy, fast-paced, incredibly awesome novella!
I love a good dystopian book and this sure looks like one. Price was clever by presenting this no Oh, another crazy, fast-paced, incredibly awesome novella! Price was clever by presenting this novella in the perspective of a male character, an important character, especially because the real action in it is endured by Callie, the protagonist, and the girl with whom he seems to share everything.
I believe that, this way, we get to understand Michael a little bit more and, by watching his reactions and fears regarding what Callie is secretly doing, we also have the chance to better acknowledge his feelings for her. The memory situation left me hanging on, thirsty for answers. The relationships and animosities between Starters and Enders also made me question a lot of things, and seek for more information.
Thumbs up for this one! Quote: «I hate being a Starter. Hate being sixteen. Hate being hungry. I wish we were allowed to work. Apr 15, sophia sophilozophy rated it liked it.

I think it's cute the way Michael followed Callie to ensure her safety. After all, life is dangerous for all the Starters who doesn't have live grandparents. His jealousy towards the handsome young man whom Callie had met up with confirms that Michael has indeed feelings for her. Overall, I enjoyed reading this novella and I do hope there are more Michael and Callie scenes. I just ship them both. I have nothing against Blake, but after knowing that the Old Man resided in Blake's body when their romance happened, it just disturbed me a little.

In this new world after the war there was little that was for curtain anymore but this was, she was.
