This book is a reread but I think I stopped with this one. Again, these books are childish and the writing isn’t great but I LOVE the audiobooks and they put me to sleep so well. The ending of this one was honestly pretty high stakes and I enjoyed listening to the last couple of chapters. Wish there was more showing and less telling. I should be less harsh on these are they are just supposed to be a fun and chill reread.
This book had an amazing start which unveiled many unanswered questions from previous books. The middle was a bit slow but the action packed, surprising, cliffhanger ending made up for it. It was definitely a great book!
Another awesome story by Pittacus Lore. Still in love with John and glad that Sam is alive. The fall of five continues on from The rise of nine. 1 was killed in Malaysia, 2 was killed in England and 3 was killed in Kenya. We have meet, 4 (John), 5, 6, 7 (Marina), 8, 9 and 10 (Ella). We have also meet Sam's dad.
Could one of the 9 destroy everything the Lorien's have stood for so far? Could the Mogadorian ruler destroy them all?
Pittacus Lore is a fantastic story teller and I would recommend this book and the series.

Esperar un año para el otro libro será demasiado sufrimiento, no, así no se puede. Pero estos libros son TAN buenos, definitivamente valen la pena.
It's been a while since I read book 3, so it did take a hot second for me to remember which number correlated to which character, but I picked it back up pretty quickly.
This book is super fast paced and fun, we meet new characters, reunite with old friends and unveil more about the Mogadorians and the Legacies.
I really like that this series isn't afraid to hurt people. I know not everyone enjoys that, but when you're in this situation people are bound to end up getting hurt. This is a big plus for me. Too often YA fantasy and sci fi books have no sense of urgency or danger because the mains are protected by plot armour. I Am Number Four (book one) starts out by telling you three people have already been killed, so it's a great start and keeps that momentum even after you get to know characters.
At one point I was worried the 'lets pair up everyone in the group romantically!' trope was happening, which is one I'm not fond of. But by the end it doesn't seem to be heading that way luckily. We've had a false love triangle in previous books too, so maybe it's purposefully done to make it seem like these tropes are going to happen, then pull a Penn and Teller Fool Us on the reader.
My copy had three little novellas in the back, all of which I found very enjoyable and definitely added to the backstory and plot. Sometimes novellas seem pointless, but all three (The Last Days of Lorien, The Search For Sam and The Forgotten Ones) all delve deeper into characters we don't know much about yet, and tie in with things we've heard of that happened 'off page'.

I could tell that twist because of the behavior that they were displaying. Those not all of them. It was interesting and I should have just finished it
I love this series. There, I said it. I love it and give me more!
I don’t know if this book/series actually is four stars, but it’s so nostalgic for me.
