The series could have ended here. It didn't. How the hell are they going to drag this out for four more books?????
All I have to say is...want...more....now!
And I want to know where Number Five is!
And I want to know where Number Five is!
Not bad. I thoroughly enjoyed the trilogy, filled with action and cliff hangars all the way through! The most exasperating cliff hangar was at the end of this book, but I won't spoil it!
Well, that was so much better than the first two books! (...Or maybe I'm just getting used to Lore's writing style)
I loooved all the action and trust me, this is the most action-packed novel in this series so far.
Like with [b: The Power of Six|8659601|The Power of Six (Lorien Legacies, #2)|Pittacus Lore|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1345067406s/8659601.jpg|13530989], the alternating perspectives threw me off guard at first, especially since [b: The Rise of Nine|12971616|The Rise of Nine (Lorien Legacies, #3)|Pittacus Lore|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1331740153s/12971616.jpg|18055886] alternates between three characters this time (Four, Seven, and now Six). I didn't really like the idea of Six having her own narrative because I enjoyed the air of mystery that surrounded her in the previous two books.
Again, like with [b: The Power of Six|8659601|The Power of Six (Lorien Legacies, #2)|Pittacus Lore|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1345067406s/8659601.jpg|13530989] you would think that [b: The Rise of Nine|12971616|The Rise of Nine (Lorien Legacies, #3)|Pittacus Lore|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1331740153s/12971616.jpg|18055886] would be about Nine or written in his perspective. Although we do get to know Nine a bit better, this book mostly focused on reuniting everyone.
Also, I found that all the characters are super likable except for Four. I still don't like him. In fact, he annoys me more and more with every page. It also appears as though he's falling in love with Nine... take this passage for example:
"Every time I think I have Nine figured out, he does something to turn it around and I end up liking him even more"
He sounds like a teenage girl falling for the bad boy.

I love the intense pace of this book. I love that we meet Eight but I don't really like Eight at first. I don't end up liking him til the cave drawing scene. I don't really like Nine much but then I read the Nine special ebook of his back Story and I like him better now. I want to meet Five still. I was happy for Ten but sad for her too. And I really felt bad for Six this whole book. I love her so much. I wish Sarah would die already. And I still hope Sam is ok. Lol. That's all. Trying not to do any spoilers. Can't wait til the next book!

asdfghjkllkjhgf I can't wait for this book.
The ending of The Power of Six left me wanting so much more. D:
I really hope Four can just forget about Sarah though, because he's so much better with Six.

WELL, for some reason I thought this book was a trilogy, and up until the last page I thought I had been reading the final book in the series. I guess not. It actually works better this way, because as I was getting closer to the end, I kept thinking, "Are they really gonna end this series without even meeting up with Five?" I felt kinda gypped. Now that at least have time to meet up with everyone.
I really liked this book though. The further into the series I get, the more attached to the characters. (Except Sarah. CAN FOUR JUST GET RID OF HER ALREADY? Does he not realize he is DESTINED to be with Six?)
I didn't think I'd have to wait for another book, but here I am again, anxiously awaiting the fourth book.

Wasn't as good as the second or first, but still liked it. The beginning was a little weird, but I liked how they all came together in the end. Can Sarah just die already though? Please?
this is just as i remembered it, perfect fun YA action adventure! I want BK to be my friend too
