Libby’s Reviews > The Rise of Nine > Status Update

Characters are the coolest part of books. Nine just had a cool characteristic reveal when he fought off some big guys that were going to beat up two young humans (Nine doesn't generally care about humans) because he doesn't like bullying. The scene where he told Four this was really cool.

I'm going through phases of liking Four and hating Four. Right now, he's fine. He just admitted to Nine that he believes that he is Pitticus Lore (which I just realized is the author's name, that's funny how the author made himself the most powerful person in those two worlds) which was a complete shock. Six was just kidnapped and I really hope that the different groups will get to her as soon as they can.

I love the female characters in this book. They are all strong in both different and similar ways. Six is my favorite character (and also my favorite number which is cool). I love how she will stop at nothing to protect those she loves, and is very smart, prepared, and focused.
