They choose the strongest, best looking of the brats to become Breeders in the hopes to keep a strong population coming along. Stone we learned in book 1 is quite handsome and has been put into the Breeder caste – charged with maintaining the population of the enclave. Thimble we learn through the course of Endurance though is INCREDIBLY smart and will be quite valuable down the line it’s not a major issue compared to what it could be however given the circumstances that society lives in now, they typically leave the deformed out to be eaten by the Freaks. They have their own paths in life with Thimble being a Builder since we learned that she was born with a slight disability – one leg is shorter than the other and i think that she may have a club foot. So as you remember from reading Enclave – book 1 in the series, Thimble and Stone are Deuce’s best friends. in this case, i’m fairly certain that these 2 characters will play a good role in the next book and i hope that we get to see where things go with them.

they give us a great continuation of the story from someone else’s POV which we hope will come into play in the following installments of the series. 5 books (or novellas as we like to call them too). Away from their regimented society for the first time, and still facing imminent danger, Thimble and Stone acknowledge the forbidden attraction which both have denied for years. Their journey takes them upward to an unimagined world of tinned food, comfortable furniture, and books. Leaving behind the roles of Builder and Breeder which they were assigned at birth, they wander the underground tunnels, looking for safety yet afraid to go “topside” where legend has it that the light and water will burn their skin from their bones.

Along the way, they must evade the Freaks, beings who feed on human flesh. When rebellion destroys the underground world in which Thimble and Stone have grown up, they take Stone’s son and try to escape the chaos.
