The Revenge of Seven
Lorien Legacies #5
by Pittacus Lore

My rating: 5 / 5
Genre: YA sci-fi

Spoiler notice: The following review may contain some spoilers for the previous books in the series, starting with I Am Number Four.

The Garde are split up and hurting, betrayed by one of their own and on the run. But they’ve also gained an unlikely ally in Adam, who can help them understand the enemy a little better. The disastrous future that John saw in Ella’s vision is looming, maybe sooner than they think, so their next steps are crucial.

The action, suspense, and stakes are really ramping up here in the back half of the series. Since the author(s) clearly has/have no issue with killing characters off (not that it’s been super common, except for the Cêpan), I’m often on edge waiting to see the outcome of an encounter with the Mogadorians, especially during the climax. The revelations of what the “Beloved Leader” and his human allies have done or allowed is totally believable, and I’m looking forward to seeing how the fallout and looming invasion continue into the next book.
