The Revenge of Seven (Lorien Legacies)

I have no idea why I keep reading these books. A Wikipedia summary would be better written, and would skip all the unrealistic and frankly annoying dialogue. It's really a shame too, because the ideas of these book are really intriguing and interesting. However, they are so poorly executed.

This book is now my favorite of the 5 released! It starts where the Fall of Five left off, Marina, Six and Nine are trekking through the swamp with Marina a mess from Five's betrayal and keeping little control over her new legacy. John is with Sam, Malcolm and Adam on the run after the events in Chicago, joined by the Chimaera Adam rescued. We also get the POV from Ella who was taken in Chicago. If you read The Lost Files: Hidden Enemy, there is a nice surprise (ok we knew this would play in) about where one of those story lines left off.

The action is intense throughout most of the book. There is no where near as much running and hiding as in the previous books. The Garde had united in The Fall of Five, so now it is about taking action instead of sitting around and planning. The pace is really fast, and moves along well. Some of the previous questions you're left wondering are answered. (DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU HAVENT READ FALL OF FIVE). Without giving away any details, but some answers to look forward too, we learn Setrakus Ra's story and how he came to lead the Mogs and why he wants Ella at his side from the coma Ella was stuck in. I love how the book ends. It's the perfect setup to the last book and I cannot wait another year to see how this sends! I guess I'll have to make do with the novellas that will be released.

Enjoy!

As with all of the Lorien books, I really enjoyed the story but seriously- how long is this going to drag on?

I enjoyed this book until it's ridiculously abrupt ending- it felt totally incomplete, as if the author was giving the readers a giant middle finger saying, "Wait another year folks, buy another book." I might have even given it 4 stars if not for that because I was enjoying it so much until then.

There's no reason to review the story, if you're on the fifth book in the series, you know what they are all about by now & this book is more of the same. You won't be disappointed until you reach the end. Truly, my advise would be to wait until the 6th book comes out (is the 6th book the end? Is it?) & read them together so you will be infinitely less frustrated.

This book literally had me on the edge of my seat and I couldn't put it down. Great character development especially for Marina, Four, and Ella. It also really helped connect a lot of the missing pieces from the other books. Literally counting the days until the next book.

With held the ending??? WHAT is wrong with you? Quite the author-- NOT!
The story was bad enough getting thru whiney characters, poor forethought, and vague, make-it-up-as-you go story line. But although I tried to work around all this destraction , as the"author " you could have had the mercy to END it, with this "book". But, no. Just an offering of More crappy back books, and a promise of more money coming your way. However, I am Done with this lot, and will never purchase another book. I can see why you used a ficticous author's name.

Just not worth the read. I felt obligated to carry these books to the end, hoping for a glimmer of improvement. There isn't any.

If you have started the series, don't. If you have, best wishes, you'll be left unsatisfied.
