The Revenge of Seven by Pitticus Lore

The Revenge of Seven 08/26/2014 0 Comments This book really picked up this series for me. If you read my last post you'd know that this series was just disappointing me lately, but this book was just amazing. I finished it literally five minutes ago so I have the story fresh in my mind. I would give it a 8.5/10 stars, very enjoyable. I highly recommend this book if you have read this series and like me, was giving up on it, or if you haven't read this series, I highly recommend it  to you, just endure through the fourth book, this is the fifth book of the Lorien Legacies by Pitticus Lore. The first book is called I'm Number Four. It's about this boy- Four. He's part of a dying alien race that fled to Earth after their home planet was destroyed. He's one out of Nine of the surviving aliens in his race. There was a charm put on the nine children who fled to earth, so that they can only be killed in their number order, One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight and Nine. So when the other race of aliens- the Mogadorians- who attacked Four's home planet- Lorien- find the nine remaining children on earth, they begin hunting them down. One, Two and Three have now been killed, and now, Four is next. This is a great series, it has romance, action, and everything you could want in a sci-fi YA series, though, the writing style and the concept get kind of bad as it goes on, it's still worth the read. I say that now after reading The Revenge of Seven because this book was just so good. I went into it with low expectations, one because of how bad Fall of Five was and two because the name just doesn't really click. I'm curious to see what the next book will be called because they kind of ran out of numbers. I expected this to be the last book and while reading the book, it seemed like it was the last book. And then it ended. And then I flipped out. The next book definitely has to be the last book, because they're in the middle of the final battle now, that's all I can really tell you without spoiling it. So you should read this book series because it has humor, a fair amount of kick arse-ery and a pretty good romance. The characters are okay-ly written but I enjoyed reading about their personality and their legacies. Here's the summery for I am Number Four if this series sounds interesting to you: In the beginning they were a group of nine. Nine aliens who left their home planet of Lorien when it fell under attack by the evil Mogadorian. Nine aliens who scattered on Earth. Nine aliens who look like ordinary teenagers living ordinary lives, but who have extraordinary, paranormal skills. Nine aliens who might be sitting next to you now. The Nine had to separate and go into hiding. The Mogadorian caught Number One in Malaysia, Number Two in England, and Number Three in Kenya. All of them were killed. John Smith, of Paradise, Ohio, is Number Four. He knows that he is next. I AM NUMBER FOUR is the thrilling launch of a series about an exceptional group of teens as they struggle to outrun their past, discover their future—and live a normal life on Earth. Okay so I'll just say I read I am Number Four before I was really interested in reading, I mean I loved reading but not as much as I do now. I also read  I am Number Four really soon after it came out so I had to wait a year for Power of Six, then another year for The Rise of Nine, then another for the Fall of Five, another for The Revenge of Seven and I'm going to have to wait another year for the next book. Can anyone see why I might possibly want this series to end? The next book has to be the last one, to finish the final battle and to tie up all the loose ends. I really want Nine, Six and Adam to live. So the Revenge of Seven, like I said before I went into it with low expectations and came out awed. This book was really good, with the exception of Marina having some annoying moments and it not telling us who's Point of View it is, I really enjoyed it. I found myself flashing back to Opposition by Jennifer L. Armentrout a few times while reading this, I won't lie. Anyway I'm afraid if I talk more that I'll spoil you so go away none spoilery people and come back when you've read the book :) SPOILERS FOR THE REVENGE OF SEVEN BELOW "Too bad these secret Mogadorian bases never have any exit signs." So Ella is Setrakus Ra's granddaughter, meaning I WAS CLOSE WITH MY THEROY, saying she was his daughter, I was just missing the grand. Also, I guessed this arse face was Loric, so yeah, I won't lie, I'm pretty proud of myself. "I'm sure Nine will be thrilled to know we have a fat cat with an obvious affection for Sam named after him." Haha, so in the beginning of this book, we start out with everyone pretty screwed, but then they get together make a plan and it just becomes so much more interesting. I thought that Bernie Kosar was dead but luckily he's alive, but then again he had like no part in this book because in the beginning he just left with Sarah. That's it. I was pretty disappointed about that, but hey, at least he's not dead. I felt so bad for Nine in this book, he was beating himself up about Eight's death, Marina was being a twit to him and when he saw that his only home had been ravaged, I just felt for him. I get why Marina would blame Nine, but I just wish she'd have been more forgiving earlier. I mean, in the beginning of this book she was just getting on my nerves, she was being a twat to Nine, freezing anyone who got in her pathway and being moody. Yes, I do also get why she was like that, but no offense to any of you who like her, but Marina was never my favorite, she just kind of seemed to weak, so she finally gets an attack power but she's using it to just pretty much bully people, I found that very irritating, I liked her a lot better after they got Eight's body back. Though, I was pretty annoyed at her when she was being an arse to Adam. And when Marina said Adam 'stole One's legacy' that just made me flip out. HE DID NOT STEAL IT FROM ONE IT WAS A GIFT HE DIDN'T WANT IT FROM HER!!! Setrakus Ra was a real pain in the arse, as usual. But then he linked them, and I freaked out because I knew that not of the Garde would kill him if it meant killing Ella, though, that's a weak point for him, too, I realized at the same time. Because if Ella sacrifices herself then he would die also. She almost did sacrifice herself, but then stupid face Five had to intervene, do I sense an affection between the two? Only the next book will tell. I don't want Ella to die, but if it served for the greater good than I think I would prefer Ella dying over Nine, Six or Sam. Oh, shall we get to Five? I knew this book would be redemption for him, and that just annoys me, and that extra book that came out on July 22 that I never bothered to read? It probably was making him more likable. But I still don't like him. That part where Adam killed his dad was so awesome. And that may be one of the most twisted sentences I've ever written. Adam really gained John's trust there, though, because he saved his life by killing his own father. It was just a great fighting scene where John was in that force field with the General and he was loosing, then he was about to get his face cut open when the General just sort of freezes, and Adam says, "Through the back. Isn't that how you'd do it, Father?" It was just such a great moment, that was when he really won John's trust, because before that he was hesitant to trust him. And then Adam takes his family's broadsword aftrnbfkjbfjib SO MANY FEELS. Did anyone else feel like the Garde meeting up again was way too easy? They just fly an aircraft over to Ashwood? I don't know what I was imagining happening for them to come back together, but it certainly wasn't that simple and easy. Sarah and Mark are going out to GUARD's home base since they're on the run and this thought popped into my head, is guard someone we could possibly already know? Authors do enjoy that kind of plot twist. BytheAngel when Adam was looking at Six and then she asks him what and he says she reminded him of someone he used to know. asdfnsfkjbfihofvivihvfb ONE!!! I think Adam and One have to be my OTP for this series so that just gave me a horde of the feels, I want him to like tell someone about One and to their view on that. Okay so when 'Eight' came back to life and the chapter ended, just *GASP*. I thought OMG MAYBE IF ADAM GETS ONE'S BODY AND BRINGS IT HERE SHE'LL COME BACK TO LIFE. Sadly it wasn't actually Eight, though if it was I might be a lithe annoyed too because you can't bring people back from the dead in this kind of book, it made sense in The Mortal Instruments but there isn't magic, there are aliens, otherwise it's completely normal, lol. But I'm glad Marina got to say goodbye to Eight. Let's talk the ending shall we? Marina says something like "We're no longer alone" and then it changes chapters, John is saving this couple when a Piken comes along and some wall of Telekinesis pushes it away and Sam says, "Did I do that?" AND THE BOOK FREAKING ENDS. YOU DO NOT END A BOOK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FINAL BATTLE, YOU JUST CAN'T DO THAT, IT ISN'T FAIR TO HUMANITY, I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER YEAR TO READ THE NEXT BOOK!!!! If you saw my face when I turned the page and the book was over...... Alright so that was my review on the Revenge of Seven, I'm getting in a shipment of books today so I'll have another review up soon :) comment if there's a specific post you want made or book you want me to read :) OR you can comment your thoughts, I'd love to hear them. Until next time, Bookfanic

The Revenge of Seven!!

THIS BOOK COMES OUT TOMORROW!!!! I'm so excited for the Revenge of Seven. It wasn't one of those, I'm constantly excited, though, it was more of a when I think about it I'm excited. So I read I am Number Four before the movie came out and fell in love with the story and the characters. Then I read The Power of Six, it wasn't as well written and thought out as I am Number Four, but it was still good, then The Rise of Nine I enjoyed mainly because of Nine and then I read Fall of Five. These books have a great idea, they just aren't written very well, it's a bit of a sloppily written job, I think, I'm not exactly sure how to explain it other than to say that the book's writing style gets worse throughout the books, even though the books get more exciting. I hope the Revenge of Seven is the last book, not because I don't like this series but because I just feel like it needs to end, though I'm not sure how The Revenge of Seven could be the last book, there's so much left to do. Also, Pitticus is running out of names. We have I am Number Four (Four) The Power of Six (Six) The Rise of Nine (Nine) the Fall of Five (Five) and the Revenge of Seven (Seven) so what numbers do we have left?   One, she's dead, for good, now. Two, dead. Three, dead. Eight, dead. Ten, she's not actually number ten. Unless Pitticus intends to reuse the numbers or use Adam or something I don't think he has any other name options. Plus The Revenge of Seven doesn't click as well as the rest of the titles.
I've read fan fictions for this story, and all of them bring Eight back. That is not going to happen, Eight's dead, I know he's awesome and all but you guys just have to accept that he's dead.
In these books Pitticus makes almost every character's eye color change at least twice, it's really confusing, I tweeted about it when I was rereading the books this summer. Who do you guys think is Pitticus? It has to be either Nine or Four and I thought that even before Eight died, because a. Four is convinced he's Pitticus b. Nine is convinced his fight is with Setrakus Ra.
I forget if I said this before but I have a theory about Setrakus arse face Ra. I think he's Loric, (gasp) I think maybe he's Ella's father, the selfish one who lived under the mountain. Maybe he got that scar from her mom when she was trying to stop him. Why I think this is because Arse face, sorry, Setrakus keeps calling Ella his 'heir' and he seems to have legacies. I'm pretty sure he has to be Loric, and if Ella is his heir than he's probably her father.
If you read my last post on this book series you'd know that my favorite character is Nine, I absolutely love him. I really hope he doesn't die in this book. I also hope he or Seven gets to kill Five. I don't really give a crap about him being one of the last Loric, that bastard has to die. But he's probably going to get forgiven or something and go back to Lorien with them. Ugh. I really hate Five if you couldn't tell, especially since he tried to kill Nine, killing Eight. I read Five's Legacy and hated him even more, unlike the rest of them, he's fat and lazy, when the rest of them were training hard to fight for their planet he was drawing in the sand on the beach. The only thing Five is good for is for stabbing repeatedly and for distracting the Mogs when Four was in Florida. I never bothered reading about Five's training, I mean, I was in Europe at the time and I didn't feel like it was worth it. Maybe that book showed that Five was actually a good person, alien whatever, but for me, there's no redemption for him, I really want to see him die in this book.
Aw Nine, he has such a sad story, that whole thing with Maddie and him having to kill Sandor, when I first read that years ago my eyes got watery. Nine, he's just been through so much and everyone just takes him for a douche, except maybe Four. He isn't really, he just has a facade. I really like Nine and Four's friendship, they're just polar opposites. Four: calm and controlled Nine: wild and reckless. Aw when Four went into that possessed sleep dream thing in Fall of Five, did you noticed the things about Nine? He leapt into the room to try and save him and he was really worried about him. I LOVE NINE. He's just awesome. I think it would be interesting to maybe see Nine and Six together, though Sam and Six is pretty cute.
Another person who I love? Adam Sektah or whatever his last name is. Just thinking about him and One  makes me feel empty and sad. She can't have just gone away like that! :( I hope he obtains the rest of her legacies, like telekinesis and whatever else she was destined to get. I'm really interested to see what everyone's final killing legacy is, aren't you? Adam finally joins up with the garde, after all this time waiting! That's probably the thing I'm most excited to read about in this book. ADAM WITH THE GARDE. Though, how will Four, Adam and humans get in contact with the rest of the numbers? I'm excited to see them invade Ash wood (That's where Adam lived, right?) I think they will, because that's what Adam proposed in the end of Fall of Five. Poor BK :(. I think that with Adam teaming up with them they can replace Five, I mean, Adam's way better, and he's a MOG FIVE! A MOG! They probably won't trust Adam for a while, keeping an eye on him and all that, and I know that's smart, but it's going to annoy me to read about. I don't know if I want to see Adam live through this war, I mean, I would love it if he did, but maybe if we got his point of view when he died we could see him reunited with One? I love One, ugh thank you Fallen Legacies stories for making me love a character who died! Before those books she was just someone who died after that she was One. So that was my rant on these books, comment below if you have anything to add :). 

Lorien Legacies: Revenge of Seven Summary and Fall of Five raging

I read these a long time ago, but since the summery for book five came out, I'm going to be reviewing Fall of Five too
The book summary for book 5 in the Lorien Legacies book series is out, though the name has yet to be released.
Spoilers below if you haven't read Fall of Five
Go read I'm Number Four, The Power of Six, The Rise of Nine, and The Fall of Five, then come back here and read this (They're really good!) 
The worst was supposed to be over. We were reunited after a decade apart. We were discovering the truth about our past. We were training and getting stronger every day. We were even happy....

We never imagined that the Mogadorians could turn one of our own against us. We were fools by trusting Five. And now Eight is lost forever. I would do anything to bring him back, but that's impossible. Instead I will do whatever it takes to destroy every last one of them.

I've spent my entire life hiding from them, and they've  stolen everything away from me. But that stops now. We're going to take the battle to them. We have a new ally who knows their weaknnesses. And I finally have the power to fight back.   

They caught Number One in Malaysia  Number Two in England. Number Three in Kenya. And Number Eight in Florida. They killed them all.

I am Number Seven I will make them pay.
Fall of Five
SpoilersGo Marina! I loved her and Eight together! Go die in a freaking hole Five! Ok, when he tried to kill Nine, that was not ok (For some reason I have a thing for cocky sarcastic characters *cough* *cough*Jace *cough* Will) I love Nine, but seriously! Don't kill Eight either!  Admittedly I was really upset when Marina didn't kill Five. But I'm also glad Nine isn't dead, and Six. After I was done The Fall Of Five I walked around the house in a daze for a while, I was thinking Eight can't be dead, Eight can't be dead. Over and Over. Also here is a 

Crazy Theory
The leader of the Mogadoriens (Setrakus Ra) Is actually not a Mog, he's Loric. He is Ella's weird loner father guy. The way that he got his big scar is from his wife, when she found out what he had done, tried to stop him, but failed and died trying. The he's a Garde so he can change his shape as one of his Legacies, he never wanted to ruin Lorien, he wanted to rule it, and he wants Ella because she is his daughter and reminds him of her mother, whom he killed. 
Back on topic 
PITTICUS WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! YOU KILL OFF EIGHT LIKE WTF TO THAT I LOVE EIGHT AND MARINA THEY WERE ONE OF MY OTPS (haha one true pairing.... whatever.)THEN YOU KILLED BERNIE KOSAR NO THAT IT NOT OK> NOT OK AT ALL>< But I am excited to see Adam working with 4, I love Adam, he has a lot of courage to turn on his own people. but SERIOSULY HE SEES ONE FOR THE LAST TIME AND SHE KISSES HIM AND THAN FADES AWAY?! WHAT'S WITH THAT?!!!! Every time when I think of that I'm left with an empty feeling because of how much Adam and One were perfect for each other. She couldn't just... fade away from him like that.  Will Adam get the rest of One's Legacies? Or just the earth power? Will he develop telekinesis? I hope he does get more powers, since he's awesome. My favorite Characters are probably:
Nine
Six
Adam  (goes along with One too)
Bernie Kosar
Eight
Sam
Four
Sarah
Marina
Ella
Malcolm
Maggie

Henri
Katatrina
Crayton 
Adelena
Hilde 
Reynolds
Conrad
Let's see if I didn't clarify this earlier, I HATE FIVE's guts. 
I rate this series a 7/10 because I didn't like Fall of Five as much (*cough* *cough* because of Eight and Bernie Kosar) I rate I am Number Four 9/10 stars The Power of Six 8.8/10 stars The Rise of Nine 8/10 stars and The Fall of Five 5/10 stars
