Review By: Isaac B. |
Fate of Ten is the sixth and penultimate book in the Lorien Legacies Series. John, Number Four, and his friend Sam are in New York trying to stop the invasion of the Mogadorians. From the beginning, it's been a secret fight as the Garde fled for their lives as the last survivors of Lorien.
But that's all changed now. Lorien, the celestial entity who lived in the planet of Lorien, has inhabited Earth, and granted a few of it people with legacies to help fight the Mogadorians. Now, it's up to the people of Earth to help fight for the right to keep their world.
Meanwhile, Ella is still under the control of Setrákus Ra, who was revealed to be her grandfather in the previous book. Bound together using a Loric charm, he cannot be killed unless she dies first. This is the largest hurdle that the Garde must find away around. Especially with Ella predicting her own death.
While John and Sam fight; Six, Marina, and Adam are trapped at the Sanctuary with no way to leave. The worse part, Setrákus Ra is headed straight for them. They must quickly develop a plan to counter whatever he intends to do at the Sanctuary. With everything on the line, it's almost impossible to believe that anything could happen at this point.

My Review
Pittacus Lore, writers James Frey and Jobie Hughes, created a masterpiece in this novel. I'm happy to say Fate of Ten rose well above my expectations. If it weren't for the lack of an overall complex plot line, it would have received a full 10 out of 10. Unfortunately, no book will ever truly be perfect, there will always be something that we don't like.
One thing that hit me was how the book ended. While I won't tell you what happened, the ending wasn't completely obvious, I did see it coming. I figured it was relatively high on the list of possibilities, but to think they actually go through with it, after all this time.
The book moved along at a relatively quick pace; however, it seemed that the authors were dragging their feet a bit trying to stretch it out into one last explosive novel. I hope the wait will be worth.
