One who has more to lose than Jag-except maybe Zenn. Well, I always appreciate a novel told by the character that has the most to lose. What made you make the brilliant decision to tell the story from Jag’s and Zenn’s point of view in ABANDON? I so love where you’ve taken this series. The series continues to explore the idea of free choice, and the role of government, and basically the whole series comes down to one question, which Zenn asks himself repeatedly in ABANDON: Free of functioning?Ģ. That book basically explores free choice, and who-if anyone-should be making our choices for us. Possession kicks off the series in the Goodgrounds, where Vi is sick of the Thinkers telling her what to do.

And all my favorite characters-Vi, Raine, and Gunner are there too. And it was brilliant! I loved the fast paced story telling of what the resistance is doing to resist the Thinkers and free their world and Jag’s and Zenn’s place in it.

But no, Elana makes the amazing decision of telling the story from Jag’s and Zenn’s views. I just assumed that ABANDON would be from Vi’s point of view. I was worried she couldn’t top SURRENDER, where she told the story from Raine’s and Gunner’s point of view. Elana is an amazing writer and she blew me away again in this final book in her series.
