The Lost by James Patterson
3.0
2.5/5
Ok so I haven't even started this book yet but the blurb is killing me. This series is really getting on my nerves. James Patterson should've ended this series on the third book! It would've made sense! At least if you're going to make it a run on series make the problems linked! Foreshadow! Attempt at SOMETHING!
Although I thought the fourth book was the best book so far, I think that it would've been better had the Wizard King been introduced earlier in the series. The plot in the fourth one was more intricate than the first three all though totally unrelated.
UPDATED REVIEW AFTER I HAVE FINISHED BOOK
Okay I am upset and here are a couple of reasons why:
1. Wisty was SOO arrogant and very unbearable and cringworthy. I experienced a lot of secondhand embarrassment. Byron AND Pearce both said they didn't know what they used to see in her. MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE SHE ACTED SO IMMATURE??
2. There are TWO times James Patterson totally rips off the Harry Potter:
- When the Lost Ones make Wisty remember only sad memories and she ends up defeating it with happy memories and LOVE, ummm... dementors much???
-"Everybody's soul is both light and dark. We can choose between the two, Darrius, and it's that choice that determines everything." If this isn't a total rip-off of the ever-famous HP quote, then I don't know what is. BTW the quote I'm talking about is when Sirius Black says to Harry: "We've all got both light and dark inside of us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are."
3. The One???? Came back????? A bit of a stretch, don't ya think?
4. OK and this just confused me: why were Pearce's chapters always in third person while Whit's and Wisty's were always in first?\
Anyways, the book WAS action-packed so I didn't totally hate it, but I wouldn't recommend this series to anyone tbh. James Patterson disappointed me, I had high hopes for this series because it was highly recommended to me. :/
