kimal25 's review for:

The Rise of Nine by Pittacus Lore
5.0

Second Reading:
John and Nine have escaped the Mogadorian cave in West Virginia and Six, Marina, Ella and Craytons survived their own exposure with the Mogs and are headed to India to try to meet up with Eight. Upon landing in India they almost immediately find Eight through his followers, because Eight has been posing as Vishnu. He shows them a cave where there are predictions of many things with the Garde and even a prediction of Eight's death. The mogs show up so they all try teleporting out through the Loralite stone. Except Crayton is killed just before they can leave. Eight teleports them first to Somalia, then Stonehenge in England before landing them in New Mexico. Simultaneously John and Nine recuperate, then make their way to Chicago where Nine has a safe house. John manages to turn on the tablet that they found in Paradise before he was captured and it shows the current location of every one of the Garde. They realize that things are going down in New Mexico and head there. As they are pulling into NM they see that the others have arrived in NM too. They meet up with Seven, Eight, and Ten and together enter the prison where Sarah and Six are being held. Epic battle ensues and John discovers he can heal people too!
I LOVE THESE BOOKS! This one was more of the same amazing qualities. I enjoy seeing them all learning how to use their legacies and become more proficient at it. There were a couple of twists that I was not expecting and some truly amazing moments. READ IT!
