I love this series. It was the perfect distraction today. I'm excited for the next book. The teasers at the end are amazing.
This is a solid YA series. I just wish they wouldn't leave each book in a cliff hanger. It just makes the book feel incomplete.

It was better than the previous book, though that wasn't saying much. At least the narrator was more stable this time, which made it less of a guessing game and more enjoyable, though the believability is starting to get thin. The references to Pittacus Lore are no doubt meant to be clever but are actually irritating.
I may or may not read more.
Spoiler
Four now has superstrength, if he can break handcuffs, and I really don't think 25 ton standing stones would just topple like dominoes. And surely one of them would have died in the Mog battle?I may or may not read more.

REVIEW: I am doing a lot of rereading now! I am rereading this series as well as Kelley Armstrong’s Otherworld series. Very different books, but I am very much enjoying them both.
I quickly skimmed the first two of these books as I remembered most of them, and started reading for real on the third one. I’d forgotten a lot of it since my last read was almost ten years ago!
The Rise Of Nine follows the story of the Loric Garde, powered teenagers who were whisked to earth as the only survivors of the destruction of their planet. In this book, all except one are reunited for the first time in ten years, and their battle against those who destroyed their world and are trying to destroy earth really begins.
I really enjoyed this series the first time I read it because it’s totally my thing. I’m a sucker for teen fantasy, and love seeing all the characters’ powers – or Legacies – develop. Even though I know the basic outline of what happens, it’s still exciting and a pleasure to read.
I would definitely recommend this series to people who love YA fantasy.
