So she can jump up, and keep going, adding bursts of speed to counter gravity, and then she can jump instantly back to where she started – and then instantly back to where she ended up. She can also jump “in place” adding velocity. What does Cent want? Consider this: she can jump to places she can see or has visited. Emerging from the shadow of her parents, from the shadow of their necessarily secret lives – they have enemies, trailing them through the books, who’d rather see them dead than jumping. Exo is about a young woman taking control: knowing (mostly) what she wants, and setting out to get it. Impulse was Buffyesque: teenage girl with powers has to deal with school, boys, villains, etc. In my review of Impulse I suggested Gould seemed to be moving pieces around in preparation for something bigger, and Exo is definitely that. All three have the ability to jump – teleport – from place to place, subject to some plot-enabling constraints. Yes, I’m still a way behind in my reading.Īs in Impulse, Exo follows the activities of the Rice family: parents Davy and Millie, written in third person, and their 17-year-old daughter Cent, in first person. Last year I reviewed Impulse, the third book in the Jumper series by Steven Gould.
