Five's Betrayal by Pittacus Lore

sweetrosegirl76's review

5.0

Five sucks, wow. He had some serious anger issues. I don't really understand his logic hes being pretty irrational. How is it nine's fault? I can understand how he gets brainwashed but the only reason why he gets sprayed and washes because he already has anger issues and has narcissistic tendencies. Nothing is ever his fault. Everything is beneath him, he is worth everything he doesn't have to do anything at all hes perfect the way he is, he doesn't have to exercise or train everything is useless, he just wants to be lazy, he doesn't take anything seriously. He has no honor or self respect. I recommend reading this immediately after novella number 7 and after The Revenge of Seven.

I am not sure why this book as divided from Five’s legacy as it was basically a continuation of that story. But it was and the second part was just as good as the first part. I like how these short novellas fill in the holes of the main story.

Read this at the hair salon today.
It was a nice way to spend the time, but no extraordinary story.

Great little gem. I love the background explanations and the second look of what happened when Four and Sam invaded the Mogs cave. I didn't realize Nine was that close to dying. I can't remember now if [b:The Power of Six|8659601|The Power of Six (Lorien Legacies, #2)|Pittacus Lore|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1345067406s/8659601.jpg|13530989] mentions them seeing Five during the invasion.

Here's the thing, for the past few Files I have read, I have seen snippets of everyone mind at some point. That's the beauty of the Lorien Series, even the actual Novels gives us the minds of all the garde, at some point, yes confusing but it's all wonderful. This world is so concrete at well defined that you can almost see that this is actually real. And part of me does.

Now with Five's betrayal, I know Five has got to live, hence the I am officially one of them now. shit that he is saying, but now, I think I can say that he is not just the brainwashed garde to me anymore, he is just doing this to survive, that's what everyone wants right, whether he is loyal or not to the garde, he is just thinking about himself. Which is perfectly fine. Survival by the fittest.

As what Ethan said Do whatever it takes to survive. I knew he has a nose on what's going on.

I want to pick Revenge of Seven up, but you know the feeling that if you get into it, it might end too soon, just like what happened to me with Fall of Five.

Filling in gaps, but really, didn't add anything new to the narrative.

Can I hit Five?? Seriously, he's so annoying and I'd like to feel sorry for him, but I just can't. He made his decision and it's a stupid one even if he believes it's the only way to survive.
