Bound To Stay Bound

Booklist - 05/01/2018 After breaking Bellweather out of a maximum-security prison and reclaiming elusive group member Anonymous, the Zeroes head for New Orleans, following a rumor that something big (and probably catastrophic) is coming. Once there, they notice the buildup of “talent” and discover that Piper is using her charismatic power to lead a campaign of revenge against the nontalented. Will they join her cause or save the world instead? Each chapter in this trilogy closer (Zeroes, 2015; Swarm, 2016) is told by the omniscient narrator looking over the shoulder of a different member of this team, allowing the authors to control the pacing and tension and drop in reminders and foreshadowing at strategic moments. The hook in this volume is that familiar team members are learning about the inverse sides of their powers, with the attendant concerns about turning evil. Where the previous book sometimes lagged, this one very nearly catapults readers toward the satisfying end, and they’ll be questioning how things will play out right up until that point. - Copyright 2018 Booklist.
