Hero by Michael Grant
3.0
Four years after the Perdido Beach dome went down, and four years since I've read the first book of the 'Gone' franchise.
When I first heard of the sequel trilogy I've got really excited. Then I've read about morphing and new kind of powers and it sounded dull and out of place. I have to admit, I havn't change my opinion since then. I've read this trilogy mainly because I was interested what happend to characters of the previous books after the events of the FAYZ. And here comes another disappointment, there is very little about old characters in these books.
However I believe Hero is a better book than the previous one, as I didn't get bored so quickly. The plot was kinda meh. Another bad guy which needs to be stopped, another uneceserry homicides, just to shock people (which obviously didn't work, cause author's doing it constantly). Maybe I didn't get bored, because I was excited to find out how it'll end. Althougth the ending was suggested many times in the book, I was waiting for some plot twist or something... but no luck here, it ended predictably. This ending is probably the worst author could do, it makes previous books pointless. But one thing that I like is that he left it open.
