The Fate of Ten (Lorien Legacies)

Five stars are not nearly enough for this series! What a ride!!!!!! There are only two authors I'll pay ten bucks for a book; one is Sam Barone, and the other is Pittacus Lore. I thought I wanted this series to be resolved because I hate cliff hanger endings, but now I'm glad it's going to go on. GREAT SERIES!!!!!!!

Good when we get a real novel. Just tired of all the novellas. How many people are really writing these books? Is this series ever going to be resolved. At times I think James Frey can write and then I feel he tends to lose his way. I like some story lines such as the Lorien bigger novels but find at other times things just don't feel right.

OMG!! I so didn't see that happening at the end!!!! Noooo! I want the next book like yesterday lol. Besides the prices of these books (guess because of the 1st movie) im loving the series and this one has so much more intense fighting. Just finished it and am still blown away. Price stinks considering the length of the books but once you start you can't stop. 5+

If you let any important characters die, I will personally burn every book written by Pittacus Lore. I didn't invest several years of my life waiting for these books to come out, only to find that everyone dies at the end!!!!!!! Even though there is a lot of fighting going on, and the Mogadorians are trying to take over the earth, they sure as heck better not win! And you can cut down the amount of swearing. It is distracting for me to constantly be having to scribble out words in the book that are unsuitable for my kids to read. I was very disappointed at the end.

The story is still very interesting but I feel like the author's writing is becoming less and less sophisticated. You can't seem to go more than 3 sentences without finding a curse word which doesn't really bother me but I had initially told my students this was a good series to read. Now however I am not so sure.

So here's the deal- the best news is that there is only one more book in this series because holy cow has this been dragged on long enough!

The good news is that The Fate of Ten continues to move the story forward, is as full of action as any of the previous books in the series, and even includes some new information, which is both helpful and entertaining.

The bad news- the cliffhanger, of course & the fact that the authors still don't mark who's narrating each chapter. Sometimes it can take a while to figure it out & it has annoyed me in every single book. I expect to be annoyed by it in the next book as well.

That said, if you've gone 6 books into the series, you'll likely continue to follow it through to its conclusion. If you've enjoyed the first 5, you'll enjoy this one as well. The characters are still solid & the action can be intense at times.

Didn't think it added on anything on to the last book, just seemed as if the author is dragging the series out. Have been waiting awhile for this book to come out and have to say that I'm a bit disappointed with the result.

Normally, I don't write reviews. I got hooked on this series as a light read to alternate between the heavy reading I do for my master's program of study. I reread all of the books in anticipation for this book because things can get fuzzy a year later when I do so much reading. I don't know if it was the built up reminder as I was reading through these books; or the fact that the story isn't predictable - there are wins and losses; or that the writing is just that good - but I am all in. I highly recommend this book especially after you read all the others. Don't skip the mini stories either. Looking forward to the next one...wishing it wasn't a year away. But honestly, I will patiently wait because I really don't want the story to end. Congrats to the authors on a job well done.

This author has such a talent to suck you back into the world that you left a year ago. This book was non stop action and emotional, while having you jump and down to know what's next for the Garde. Thrilling and a page turner, I finished this book in about four hours, couldn't put it down! Highly recommend reading the series if you haven't already done so!

The whole book encompassed only a couple of days of time and really nothing happened... I felt like this could have been a slightly longer book and been the end... Now I have to wait a year for another book that I fear will have just as little happen due to the split... Oh well I guess....

The author of the series writes well, but as the series progresses the language has gotten terrible. If he has to be so foul, the store could at least get an edited version. I won't let my children read his books.

I have just finished reading this book (groan)! Have you ever read a book that promises: "The sixth and penultimate book in the New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series" and then the book just stops. Major story lines ane dropped with no conclusion. Major characters referred to in the last chapter are just "forgotten!" The fate of the villain is left up in the air.

Let me make this short, the writer is tired of writing and does not know how to conclude the book, so the writer just QUITS! Well if you like novels that seem to be going somewhere and then can't get there from here, well this is THE BOOK FOR YOU!

This book changes a "best selling" into a "bust selling" series, ugh!

Well I know that the writer can't get there from here, because the writer has no where to go. Well I do have some where to go, and unfortunately I wasted a lot of time on my way there reading this half baked frozen road-kill.

Well on that note, I am taking my Legacy and going home to fight the Mogs of poor writing. Namely Pitiful Galore! Hey PittyCus, for being so full of all of your glory, you need to take a remedial fiction writing course online. Here is a suggested link for you: I_kant_right_are_spill.com!

Well, sorry for the "not so good" review, but then. (looks like I just stopped writing like the book! Just a small taste of the book!) P.S. the book then offers countless novellas about topic ga-Lore, which are pitiful-Pittacus! If you have tons of money, spend away. Personally, I would spend my money on buying dehydrated water for when you get stranded in the desert. That way, just add water and re-hydrate your dehydrated water and voila, you have water! I sell dehydrated water online at url: you_must_be_kidding_me.huh.why.waste_your_money.buy.buy.bye.bye.money. Buy soon before supplies run out. Special offer, ends soon, buy now! Get two for the price of only one for you and one for me. We, "me," comes out ahead!!!! B sur 2 chk the links now! Spell, spel, spe, sp, s, ,. I am now los.......?

I was a little disappointed. The Guard came together only in a dreamlike state... and the rest of the time they were separated throughout the entire book. Nine who is one of my favorite characters.. was in maybe 5% of the book. Was expecting a little more. And I thought the Sanctuary story was a little confusing at first. It took way too long to explain what exactly was in the Sanctuary and what Setakrus Ra wanted with it. The last battle felt like another reason to just stretch out the story. Just disappointed.

NO SPOILER REVIEW....

Not a whole lot happened... this series had so much potential to develop Lorien and its mysteries but it leaves it all essentially esoteric and mysterious which is not too fun for the reader. The passivism of the protagonists is beyond frustrating, some evil needs to be vanquished and if that means killing them than kill them! But this whole pacifist Garde schtick is a whole bunch of bs. a good chapter is dedicated to our heroes digging a hole.... thats right... aliens from a distant galaxy adorned with supernatural powers that defy the laws of physics are left to dig a hole in the ground.... and all for naught mind you.... the dialog was ridiculous, especially Daniela, NO teenager actually speaks like that, especially inner city east coast kids... the pacing is erratic going from a fast exciting pace to an almost unbearable snails crawl. by far the weakest book in the series and its pretty obvious the authors are padding the book to extend it to another release. the series could have easily ended with this book but i guess we all have to wait another year. 2.5/5 stars

The Fate of Ten, part 6 in the Lorien Legacies, and the 18th part in the ‘I am Number Four’ series overall, has not lost any of the momentum gained during earlier books. Each of the major characters has now come into their own, not only with their abilities, but also with a level of maturity in understanding their position within the group and the situation as a whole.
John (Number 4) has clearly defined his role as leader, and everyone is happy to follow him, giving advice where needed. Six takes the role of his second in charge, and seems to offer him strategy, but also a trusted team leader for a second strike team when needed. Nine and Marina offer up much needed abilities and advice as needed.
It makes for a very interesting character story.
Fate of Ten also sees the ancillary characters Sarah, Malcolm and Sam get some action, with Sam actually getting a Legacy (from the end of Revenge of Seven), and having a bigger role to play now. It also sees Mark James and GUARD included in the story from the Lost Files, bringing the entire crew together for the first time in any of the books.
This story starts off with a young girl, a human, suddenly realising she has telekinesis, and we are lead to believe, that it is not only Sam that has gained a Legacy.
The main part of the story is split into two segments again, John and his team in New York, having had their chance at Setrakus Ra and failed, now having to deal with the devastation of New York. John is with Sam, leading a group of civilians through the undercity looking for survivors and help. Nine is still missing after his epic confrontation with Five.
Six and her team are still stranded at the Lorien Sanctuary, thanks to a Mogadorian, not realising what has occurred in New York.
And this is where the story gets really interesting. The Human Race (or the US Govt at least) is not willing to side with the Loric as yet, in fear of retribution. Setrakus Ra is heading to the Sanctuary for some malicious purpose, and Ella, who has telepathically contacted John, has given him a foreboding prophecy of Garde Doom if any are there when he reaches it.
To say that this book doesn’t disappoint is an understatement. There are some epic battles, awesome use of abilities, we learn some fascinating stuff about Lorien, the Loric and some major plot twists that start to tie the whole story together. Underlying questions from earlier in the series are answered, but there are some new ones as well.
Best of all is the growth of the characters. Most of the characters really take an epic leap in this book, I'm not sure if it's a different author, or they just had a bit of coaching, or what, but the character development has shifted into overdrive.
Ella’s character is brilliant, leaving you drained at times after reading about her (without trying to give too much away).
John, Number 4, is exceptionally well written, as the 16yr old, thrust into this role as the leader of an interstellar strike force that has to take down a galactic warlord with little or no mentoring. You can really feel his pain and angst with each decision. Even Nine, as the almost comic relief, is used cleverly to provide a break in dramatic moments, unless the author wants to convey something, and then he uses Nine to give a bit of an extra emotional edge. Marina is not only the moral compass for the story, but actually makes you think – what would you do?
This is a brilliant and cleverly written Alien Superhero story that just gets better with each of the main books, and I cannot wait for the conclusion, especially after some of the plot twists revealed in this book.
It should be noted that this is a book aimed at a YA audience, but is also suitable for any audience. Its not Shakespeare, but I dont think it was meant to be, it was meant to be a great fun read. And that is what it is, a lot of fun, with a fantastic story, exceptional characters and some superb twists. Just Enjoy!

The Fate of Ten is the long awaited 6th book in the Lorien Legacies/I Am Number Four Series. After much anticipation, I was finally able to download the digital version to my Nook on August 31st at 11pm, the night the book was first released. The author continues the story right where the Revenge of Seven ended; at the point where John Smith’s best friend, Sam, realizes he has legacies (special powers). In this book, the Lorien’s discover the truth behind Setrákus Ra’s troubled past and uncover more information about their founder, Pittacus Lore. (Note the author’s clever insertion of himself, or at least his namesake, as the leader of the Loriens within the story). John discovers that the Entity at the Sanctuary is responsible for the legacies that Sam suddenly developed. Once he makes this realization, with Ella’s assistance, he gathers all of the affected people in a telekinetic dream to ask them for their support in defeating the Mogs. With the cooperation of these people, the impossible feat of defeating the Mogadorians finally seems plausible. In the penultimate showdown at the grand finale of the book, there is an awe-inspiring battle with a conclusion that is sure to bring readers to tears.

I particularly enjoyed reading about the reunion of the main characters, since they were separated for the mission of defeating Setrákus Ra throughout the book. I was surprised that the author, Pittacus Lore, did not reunite the teen warriors sooner because the story is much more compelling when the diverse group of heroes all work together, as was the case in the earlier books in the series. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading action adventure, mystery, suspense, and a bit of romance with teen characters set in a dystopian society.

putting it honestly, i found the fate of ten to be an absolute waste of time to read. it didn't add anything interesting to the story, and neither did the revenge of seven. they were okay reads, for sure, but if felt like they were written to sell more books rather than for a good story.

john continued to annoy me. he's become such a mary sue (gary sue?). i think i mentioned this in a previous review but i don't care. he needs to die already. let six tell the story.

i really loved six and adam in this book. adam has become such a favourite of mine. i don't see much love for him by other fans when he really deserves it. he's come a long way and has further to go. i can't wait to see what happens in united as one. and the same with six. she's developed quite a lot and become very mature. i feel her romance with sam is just boring and unneeded.

there are a few things that happen in this book (no spoilers, i promise) that i feel was unnecessary and made the storyline rather ridiculous to read. it just seems like added disappointment to try make it more interesting (it didn't).

the overall writing for this book has improved since the previous one, which i like but it still took me a while to get through. these books aren't particularly long but they're also not quick reads. it's unfortunate that this book felt like a cash grab. i can't wait to finish this series and be done with it.

I do not believe John Smith is the new era hero or the biggest and more amazing hero, but at the end he was quite a bad ass. From being a light lamp he ended up being the destroyer of conquerors. If you ever watched “Heroes”, you will love this (the first season mainly), if you love x-men, you will love this too. They are not related, they are not a copy or anything, but they deal with the same type of topics: heroes, powers, destruction, and hope are always on one single person. These books have the perfect balance between “violence”, fights, battles, and emotions.

The Fate of Ten ramps up the action as the Guard openly begin to fight against the mogs. John and the others desperately attempt to protect humanity and kill Setrakus Ra...without killing Ella. Will it be enough?

This book is packed with action (and profanity). New characters are introduced which make a great addition to the storyline. We also say good-bye to a long time favorite which tugs at the heartstrings.

The book is well written and keeps you engaged. I would add a warning for younger readers, there is A LOT more profanity in this book than I remember in the previous books--so be aware. I wish the Guard was intelligent enough to find other ways to express themselves. Otherwise, I have no complaints and would highly recommend this book to fantasy and sci-fi lovers mature enough to handle the fighting and language.

John and the rest of the Garde had been fighting the Mogadorians in seacret for a long time. But after Setrákus Ra's invasion there is no way of hiding that aliens plan to take over Earth from it‘s inhabitants anymore.
It was a lot easier to fight the Mogs when there wasn‘t a whole army of them taking over the planet. The Garde have to find a way in the chaos that has formed to stop Setrákus Ra if it‘s not already to late and prevent Loriens destruction to repeat it self on Earth.
When John finds out that Sam isn‘t the only human that has developed a legacy there is a little spark of hope, if he could only convince enough people to fight beside the Grade.
They are not in this alone anymore.

Like all the other books of the series I liked The Fate of Ten. It was exciting and had it‘s moments of action. I also like the characters and the relationship between them.
But I have to say I was expecting more from this book. I think that the author is dragging things instead of just staying on point and finishing the story.
I would have liked to see more of the humans defending themselfs against the Mogs and how they plan to deal with this shocking events.
I do hope that the next book will be the last one and that it will end as well as this series started.

In The Fate of Ten, the Anubis is hovering above New York City as twenty-some other Mogadorian space ships are also hovering over other cities in the showdown in New York. The action is split between New York City and a Lorien temple in Mexico, where "the Entity" is, and where Setrakus Ra meets his maker, finally. Much of the story focuses upon Four and Six as the leaders of their particular resistance groups as they strive to solve the problem of the Mogadorian's ship's protective force fields and how to take down Setrakus Ra. The Mogadorians still have much of the urbanized world under their control and the battle for Earth is hot and furious, while some fan favorites do not make it to the sequel. What I liked about The Fate of Ten is that the story's climax is finally reaching resolution; we are finally learning how and why Setrakus Ra split away from the Loriens and joined the Mogadorians, and we learn more about the characters. What I didn't like was that the story is still pulpish and bloated, but the end of the story seems to be near.

As Four (John Smith) deals with the Mog invasion of NYC, Six is at the Sanctuary, having just unleashed power across the world – giving random humans super-powered abilities. This installment is once again told from Four and Six’s point of view, switching back and forth throughout the novel. It’s not hard to figure out who’s talking, once we figure out who else is with them and what they’re doing.

The Fate of Ten is the sixth and next to last novel in the Lorien Legacies series. Just as fast-paced and thrilling as ever, this latest installment doesn’t disappoint or feel like filler until the final book. Giving humans Legacies (powers) is a fun twist and added a unique new character. With plenty of surprises along the way, the excitement builds to a big finale with a big cliffhanger. This coming year will seem like forever for fellow fans until the final book release.

In the reviews, this book seems to be not entertaining and full of cuss words, but as I read this book, it was better than I thought. Even though it may have been less action-packed than the other books this book is still worth the read. It still has the cliff hangers in the end of every chapter, which wants to make you read more and more. SPOIERS UP AHEAD. Even though Marina,Six,and Adam are camping around the sanctuary and John,Sam,and Daniela are camping in New York we still figure out alot of things, we still get the suspense that we need for it to be a good book. This book is definetly worth your time and you ahould give it a read. HUMONGOUS SPOILER AHEAD. The only I hate about this book is why the heck does Sarah have to die. The only romance we get now is s***** Sam with Six. Every good book needs its romance but if we get Sarah out, the only romace in the series now is going to be s***** Sam and Six. Please get Sam dead. We dont want any nerdy relationships. He's such a douche in some ways, like trying hard to be like John. John and Six should be together now. Anyways good book. If onky Sarah didnt die. :(

But then I love the entire series. I love the way it's put together and the characters. My favorite quote in the entire series is in this book: "Because of course he does". You'll get it when you read it. It's stuff like that mixed in with the stories that makes this a great series. Darn, already finished with Fate of Ten. Now I have to wait another year to see how it ends. Wonder what will be told in the lost files books between now and then? Legacies Reborn??? Sounds interesting! You'll enjoy this book but it ends leaving you hanging. That's all I'll say.

Very Exciting. I would have given it a 5 but I thought this was the final book in the series. Instead it is a cliffhanger for the next book, United as One. Which supposedly is the final book in the series. At least it is already written and was published in 2016. I don't think our library has it yet, so I'll request they add it. But fighting all these Mogadorians is so exhausting.

The title says it all. We have definitely gone through a valley in this series, and it appears that this is the higher point of the valley, the increase. The bottom was book 4 (The Fall of Five), but this?

The first book is spectacular in every way, the best book in the series (not really by far, though). Book 2 is very close to the first book in quality, despite some flaws. Book 3 was good, but going downhill in quality. Book 4, while not horrible, is easily the least of the series. Book 5 was an improvement. This book, book 6 in the series, is a very big improvement.

It continues the story and action incredibly well, but the best part to me is the character development. I mean, all the characters are given a massive amount of development, especially Adam, Sarah, Mark, Sam, this new girl named Daniela, Five, Six, Marina (who I still think is kinda boring), Lexa, our main character John, and even Agent Walker was tolerable!

I love the story and action, and although there wasn't as much of the latter as I thought there would be, I was really impressed with both!

That cliffhanger? It made me bawl! I had no idea that was going to happen! It was so well executed, and I was really torn up, almost as much as I was for the death of Henri in the first book, I am Number Four.

I don't mean to be negative but there comes a time when it needs to be addressed. I'm not liking the direction the series is heading in, or at least I'm not liking the execution of the direction anyway. I love the first three novels as they had a lot of excitement, wonder, good characters, interesting villains, and just such a rush of action and adventure. But by the time the fourth novel came out, it quickly began to dawn on me that the author of this series really had no real plan to stick by. We get tons of hints, both from inside and outside the novels, but there is nothing connecting the dots. It all feels random and out-of-place. I do like the characters and all, but some of them either don't get good enough development before their killed off or are just rushed completely. Even the backstory is really confusing for me. I've read all the 'mini-books' (yeah, I know they are called something else, but I call them that) and listened to all of the 'supposedly' Pittacus Lore audio messages. A part of me wonders if the writer this series lost focus or just became all about the money. I should feel excited and wanting to read the next book, but I just don't.

The Lorien Legacies began with a great start but ended up as a disappointment. I'm not even sure if I care enough to read the next one for that matter.

So all of the Garde both Lorien and from Earth now know what started the conflict. They also know that Setrákus Ra is beyond redemption and committed on a fanatical level. The only option is to stand up and fight.

This installment gave us a little forward motion and a good bit of history on Setrakus Ra. I really start running out of things to say when series go on so long. It's more of the same that I've come to expect from the Lorien Legacy series. Players moved around the globe. Good battled evil. Action and drama ensued. A few questions were answered. People died. That's it. Glad there is only one more in this series.

Worst ending for a book....EVER. I loved the story, as I have loved all the previous books. Please don't let your readers down and pull a Christopher Paolini on everyone. The rating would have been higher without that truly awful cliffhanger/ending. That was harsh. The language is not appropriate for kids. It is so unnecessary and adds nothing to the book. Leave it out of the last book, please.

I had been eagerly awaiting this book and was surprised that it did not really resolve at the end because I thought this was the last book in the series. I did not know that there would be another book so I was disappointed but can't wait for the "last?" book. I have enjoyed the series and even the movie that was made. It would have been nice if they could have made movies of the other books as well.

The story of the Loric children sent to earth continues. We find that new garde are popping up all over earth. There's some colorful language that I feel makes this for readers age 13+ but it was gripping and powerful. The time frame moves slower than with other books which allows for some epic battles.

I loved the Lorien series. It has a captivating storyline, somewhat similar to the Harry Potter series in its magical-children-saving-the-world theme, though any deep comparisons would be unfair. I had a hard time putting down the books. The story is fast-paced and has a decent level of unpredictability. However, an important part of this book which may appeal to some and push many away is the authors' writing style--referring not to the first person narrative, but to the very American-spoken-English style of writing (ie. too much "Oh dude!") over the traditional written-English style. While this feels normal at some points, it feels out of place in many portions, and I personally found it off-putting.
But, overall, it's the creative story that I must give four stars to.

This is the 6th book in a 7 book series. I am so sad that I have to wait for the last book. For those unfamiliar with the series, it is similar to the Percy Jackson books, only the teenagers are not hero offspring of the gods, they are aliens with super powers and it is up to them to save the world from the bad aliens. In a classic war of good against evil, the surviving members of the Garde, the gifted teenage aliens from the previously destroyed planet Lorien, must save earth from the mutant Mogadorians who are lead by the evil Setrakus Ra. The story ends in a heartbreaking cliffhanger leaving us all to wait for the final book of the series.

I had borrowed an audio of this book from the public library.

Wow! I felt like I was watching The Avengers...the Gardes against the Mogadorians and Mogasaur. :)) I had fully enjoyed the addition of new characters, most especially Daniella. Sadly, I had to wait another year for the conclusion of this series. :((

I enjoyed the book, not my favorite in the series. It was action packed but at the same time I feel there was not a lot of progress in the story. I feel like the book was just elaborating on or confirming things the author has all ready told us or hinted at. I am really looking forward to the next book as there are still so many unanswered questions.

I really liked the book, although i'm disappointed at some of the things that happened, and the way they happened. I'm not going to spoil anything, but the mercy the garde shows to people comes back to bite them in the ass in a 50/50 ratio, which is super annoying. One moment they're cutting through hundreds of soldiers without a care in the world, next moment they spare somebody who can only mess up their schemes even more.

But the story was great, it sucked me in. I had the day off, and finished the book in this day. I'm sad i have to wait for another year, but my love for the series will probably be worth the wait. and hey, in the meantime i get the hidden files to support my urges.

If you liked the rest of the series, just read it!

Ive read all the books and this one was much better than the last. I love that the characters finally are moving toward ending this struggle BUT why does the book just end so abruptly???? Its annoying that the author does this. That said, I like the characters and the story.

I love this book series. I've been following it since the movie came out (yes, I'm one of those who watched the movie first...), and have been hooked ever since. The characters are dynamic and deep. While you can predict what they may do in a given situation, they still surprise you. Really, you fall in love with them.
This book, admittedly, is not my favourite of the series. The previous five books span years while these 400 pages are two days. You heard me: two days. 2. Granted, a lot happens in those days. We meet new characters, interact with old ones, find out more about the history of the story, but it's a little overkill to spend 400 pages on two days. Could Pitticus Lore (aka James Frey) have cut the book in half while still giving the same amount of information? Probably.
My other criticism, and perhaps the greater of the two for me, is the language. I'd expect it if I were reading an adult novel, but this is young adult. Minor cuss words are one thing, but when you start throwing around the "S" word as an adjective and even one F-bomb, that's when I draw the line. I'd recommend the book for older teens and I'd even recommend the first five to younger teens, but not this one. While I am disappointed with some of his decisions, the story is still engaging and worth the read. Even if just to make it to the last installment.

I neve usually write reviews, but for this pageturner, it's impossible not to. Pittacus Lore has once again given birth to the lovechild of Sci-Fy and Fantasy in th form of a toxically addicting book. This book left me in goosebumps throught the entire read so powerful I had to power off my kindle and simply smile and contempate the book as powerful as Loralite. Great job Lore, great job

So I recently started the I am Four series, and was highly interested in this new book. I liked that they went into the back story of Setrakas and Lorien, but otherwise I was disappointed. The book really went no where. By the end I was asking myself why I was still reading it. I feel like the voice of the main characters was inconsistent in this book, and the extent of the cursing was completely unnecessary. The series just really needs to end. This book was anti-climactic. I mean we still do not know the "Fate of Ten." I don't know if I'll read the next one. It's just a mess now.

The story was better than the last, as far as story quality went, but while I found it entertaining, mildly, they continued doing what I don't like. They stopped the story right after someone very close to John supposedly dies. No, not his shape-shifting dog. This was a better cliffhanger than any of the previous, but I find the story to have been drawn out too long. I don't care anymore. I no longer have any investment in the characters, and I still found the f-word inside it. Teen book or not, this is still a children's book, and such language is not appropriate. Here are my predictions for the future of this series: it will continue for two or four more volumes, despite the promise of the authors, with several more cumbersome cliffhangers, and deaths of certain characters, before Setrakus Ra is killed. Maybe even John will find a way to resurrect Henri, One and s... several someones else.

I no longer care. I will not finish this series. My child will not finish this series. If I ever relent, I will look at it from a library instead of wasting money. I took this book back to the bookstore and got my money back. That was a better investment than this book.

I LOVED this book! I couldn't stop reading after the first chapter. Everything about it is pure genius. Accept I have one problem, cliffhangers. Do you really have to end every book with one. This book is definitely my favorite. I loved all of the action and suprises. Only 365 more days until the next book!

wow, a little more than a day, and it's over. My goodness, like listening to Marvel Avengers play by play with more backstory and detail. Amazing. Trying to do something at work while listening to this book, and you realized, you've paused and haven't moved for 5 minutes. . . ..Incredible writing!

Just finished Fate of Ten. Thought this was going to wrap up story. So disappointed at ending. I have loved this series and it was time for a conclusion. I feel author is just trying to make more money instead of writing a great series.

So I recently started the I am Four series, and was highly interested in this new book. I liked that they went into the back story of Setrakas and Lorien, but otherwise I was disappointed. The book really went no where. By the end I was asking myself why I was still reading it. I feel like the voice of the main characters was inconsistent in this book, and the extent of the cursing was completely unnecessary. The series just really needs to end. This book was anti-climactic. I mean we still do not know the "Fate of Ten." I don't know if I'll read the next one. It's just a mess now.

The story was better than the last, as far as story quality went, but while I found it entertaining, mildly, they continued doing what I don't like. They stopped the story right after someone very close to John supposedly dies. No, not his shape-shifting dog. This was a better cliffhanger than any of the previous, but I find the story to have been drawn out too long. I don't care anymore. I no longer have any investment in the characters, and I still found the f-word inside it. Teen book or not, this is still a children's book, and such language is not appropriate. Here are my predictions for the future of this series: it will continue for two or four more volumes, despite the promise of the authors, with several more cumbersome cliffhangers, and deaths of certain characters, before Setrakus Ra is killed. Maybe even John will find a way to resurrect Henri, One and s... several someones else.

I no longer care. I will not finish this series. My child will not finish this series. If I ever relent, I will look at it from a library instead of wasting money. I took this book back to the bookstore and got my money back. That was a better investment than this book.

I LOVED this book! I couldn't stop reading after the first chapter. Everything about it is pure genius. Accept I have one problem, cliffhangers. Do you really have to end every book with one. This book is definitely my favorite. I loved all of the action and suprises. Only 365 more days until the next book!

I love the series, and this book just adds so much that we've all been waiting so long to read. One of the best series IMO, so if you've never read any I suggest reading this series. Impressively written.

It felt almost predictable until the end. With it being the penultimate entry in the series they had to lay some much needed setup into it. The ending definitely takes you for a surprise I never saw coming. Left me craving for the final entry

For those of you that believe that this is the end...well it isn't. Pittacus Lore has not concluded his series with this book. Although a good read we are still left hanging at the end. Is there another book in the process? Do I care enough at this point to read it only to be disappointed again.

So here's the deal- the best news is that there is only one more book in this series because holy cow has this been dragged on long enough!

The good news is that The Fate of Ten continues to move the story forward, is as full of action as any of the previous books in the series, and even includes some new information, which is both helpful and entertaining.

The bad news- the cliffhanger, of course & the fact that the authors still don't mark who's narrating each chapter. Sometimes it can take a while to figure it out & it has annoyed me in every single book. I expect to be annoyed by it in the next book as well.

That said, if you've gone 6 books into the series, you'll likely continue to follow it through to its conclusion. If you've enjoyed the first 5, you'll enjoy this one as well. The characters are still solid & the action can be intense at times.

Wall to wall action from page 1. That's why I like this series. I do find the multiple lead characters a bit confusing sometimes. Sorry to see this is the last book...or is it? If you're going to try the 'I am Number 4' books, make sure you start at number one.
