![]() ![]() ![]() The only thing that didn’t work for me quite so well was the whole “nobody knows who the Old Man is” business. The whole Prime Destinations business was sufficiently creepy in all its implications and reminded me a little bit of Dollhouse. Which is a balance that is harder to achieve that one might think. ![]() But the world is pretty much logical and well-built, with an interesting set-up that makes sense. There’s a lot in Starters that you can dissect but mostly it’s not the most intellectually challenging book. I blazed through the book and already ordered the second one. The set-up is interesting and Callie is a good protagonist and relatable character. Starters was an engrossing, well-paced read. ![]() But caring means needing money, so Callie goes to Prime Destinations to let an Ender take over her body and experience being young again. Callie doesn’t, apart from her little brother Tyler who she tries to care for. Now Callie lives in a society where the old – Enders – run everything and the young – Starters – have to fend for themselves, if they don’t have any old family left. And since there wasn’t enough medication, the weakest members of society (and the very rich) where the only ones inoculated: the young and the old. (I think at the moment it is planned to be a duology.)Ī couple of years ago during the spore wars, a biological agent wiped out everyone in the US who wasn’t vaccinated. Starters is the first novel in the Starters Series by Lissa Price. ![]()
