asdfghjkllkjhgf I can't wait for this book.
The ending of The Power of Six left me wanting so much more. D:
I really hope Four can just forget about Sarah though, because he's so much better with Six.

09/26/2012
WELL, for some reason I thought this book was a trilogy, and up until the last page I thought I had been reading the final book in the series. I guess not. It actually works better this way, because as I was getting closer to the end, I kept thinking, "Are they really gonna end th More...

What I want to happen:

- I want Four (aka John) to ditch Sarah and hook up with Six.
- I want Sam to be alright.
- I want Seven to fall off the face of the Earth (I really don't like her).
- I want to meet Numbers Five and Eight.
- I want Sam's father found.

But mostly, I want Nine to be narrating this book with Four. :D

Cannot wait!!!

Okay, so I wasn't going to make any predictions on this book, but then I started reading some others thoughts and it has got me fired up enough to want to post a few speculations...
As anyone in my Intro to Lit class could tell you, I rarely share other peoples'opinion on a character and so this should prove interesting.

What I think will happen:

1. More romance triangles. While personality wise, it looks like 9 would be drawn to 6, "Pittacus Lore" has proven himself to be terrible at writing rom More...

John... ditch Sarah and go for Six! Sarah betrayed you anyway... Can't wait for The Rise Of Nine... hopefully there will be six books all of them narrated by John and another number. I hope that Nine and John narrates the next book.

Oooh! I cant wait for this book! I hope the cover is pretty!

And... I really really want Sam to be okay... and I wouldn't mind hearing from him either... if you dont get me, (I wouldn More...

Well... that was less epic..

UPDATE: Okay, i think this should be confirmed. There will be another 3 books for the series.. Let's start

James Frey (Pittacus Lore) and the other co-author on I Am Number 4 and The Power of Six actually planned it to have 6 books. But after the Co-Author left, James decided to make it a trilogy instead... but then James took it back and will continue the series to its original planned number of books.

So here's the list:
6 BOOKS
I am Number Four (Book 1)
The Power of Six More...

K so guys really........seven was not that bad...i really liked her. She was a great character. Nine is ok, i didnt notice anything super bad about him but for some reason i just want John to be better than him. Actually i would like it if John was better than all of them. The power of six wasnt that bad. Also, i agree with some of you, John should ditch Sarah go for six, Sam should find his dad and sam should be okay with being single. One of the things i hated in the power of six was john and More...

cant wait to read this book! :( august 2012 is such a long wait!

3/6/13
Wow. that was a good read :">

I am still rooting for four to be with sarah but he and six would also be good together. I don't know which pairing would be better :-(

I loved it more than I loved the power of six and I can't wait to read the fall of five!

Why couldn't there have been a Garde from the Philippines?! lol!

Oh come on guys! Seven is not so bad! I liked her. She seems fine to me. I dunno about Nine though. He seems like he may turn out to be a bit of an ass conceded person, I really hope I'm wrong. I loved both books =)

I don't like Sarah, I'm really sorry but I don't. Maybe it's because I watched the movie first and hated the way Dianna Agron played Sarah Heart. I tried to like her, really I did, but I could never really get into their relationship. Dang. I wish I had read the books first I might ha More...

I’m so mad at myself for not feeling the giddiness I felt after reading the first two books. I mean, I’m trying soooo hard to feel excited for the fourth book but the conclusion wasn’t really what I hoped for.
After reading this book, I finally appreciated Four. He’s become stronger and his Legacies are now way cooler. I’m also hoping we finally meet Five in the next book. Please!

-LATEST UPDATE-
GUYS, Number 8 is a BOY!? OH MY FREAKING GOO More...

Before reading it
OOOOH IT HAS A COVER. It is so very intense. I want this now.

I really hope John gets with Six, because she is a thousand times better than Sarah. I also hope we won't have to suffer through Seven's narration ever again (she made The Power of Six boring for me... I hate her).

After reading it
okay here we go:

Four: awesome as ever
Five: still MIA
Six: pretty much the best, I love her
Seven: I don't hate her anymore... she's finally stepping it up and helping out!
Eight: I LOVE HI More...

First of all, I'd just like to say that I was reading through my notes on this book and was once again struck by how fuckin' hilarious I am.

Anyways.

To the point, Kelly.

It's taking me ages to write this review and I DON'T KNOW WHY. It's messing with my head, making me think I'm funny. I've had this little stack of notes sitting by my bed just MOCKING ME and I've decided I need to get this review done before I set something on fire.



I've literally just sat here for like, twenty minutes, trying to f More...

***I READ ITTTTT :)

I'm so pleased with these series, though I still want four and six together...haha. But yay! This book is riveting and I kinda liked how short eight's involvement was. i mean, i wish they could all go badass and fight sarjlkj ra lol i cant spell his name :P his dedication was short but sweet. thank you pittacus lore! you did not disappoint. I hope they fight for real next time. it's gonna be one big family for sure :P sss (save sam soon!)

P.S. anyone else want to know what was More...

9/18/12: I really like this book. This book has restored my faith in the Lorien Legacies series. Tons of action. I have a feeling that Nine will fall in love with Six or Five (if Five is a girl). I hope it's Five.





I really hope this book is better than The Power of Six. John and Sarah FTW!



3/14/2012: The cover is nice!!!!!!

My Wants For The Rise of Nine:

1) Four/John becomes romantically involved with Six, mans up a little, and ditches Sarah once and for ALL!
2) Sarah is never mentioned AGAIN (I extremely dislike her, I didn't even enjoy or remotely like her and Johns' romance in I Am Number Four!) Although, I WOULD enjoy if John kinda rubbed it in her face that he's happily with Six. BOOYAHHH.
3)Sam is rescued somehow and is okay! LOVE THAT BOY!
4)Some new powers are added to the Garde's Legacies! I would scream gid More...

First of all, John/Four should stay with Sarah. I don't care what you say, they were good together in the first book. I don't see why everyone is hating on Sarah. She made one bad choice which we don't even know if it was her. Every relationship has its ups and downs.It will show people to over come challenges with their significant others. Second, Sam and Six should get together. This would by my ideal ending for the series at lest relationship wise.

****FINAL RATING: 3.80 STARS****

CATCHALL
These books aren't perfect. They have a lot plot holes, and it kind of ticks me off how powerful the characters are. However, they're so much fun that I can forgive all of that. I mean, they give a good four, five hours of fun, and with the little amount of self-control I have there's no way I can turn that down. As for this third installment, it was fast-paced and just like its predecessors, had a ton a action packed somehow into just a few hundred pages More...

There are a few things that i want to happen in the third book:

I want nine to go die in a hole somewhere because he seems really mean.
I want sam and six to get together.
I want Sarah and Mark to join them on their journey
I want to know who five and eight are!
I also want seven to go. I dont like her at all.
I want Sam's father found and he can sort of be four/John's Cepan.

I hope it will be good! i thought that the second book was fantastic!

Taa.
xxx

It's puzzling that so many of the reviews predate the book's release. Clearly fans of the series had high hopes for Rise of Nine, as did I. The book disappointed me.

Despite the build-up, the book seems hastily thrown together. Without giving it away, I can say that the ending doesn't resolve the story-line of this installment; much less does it move the big picture of the Lorien Legacies to a foreseeable conclusion. It's like the author just stopped at Chapter 30, with a half page of denouement. More...

I originally posted this on My Book Musings.

I have been waiting for The Rise of Nine for about eight months now, since I finished the second book The Power of Six.That book just made me anticipate the third book even more!

In The Rise of Nine, we finally see almost all the Garde coming together (except for Number Five, I don’t know why). By the end of the book, however, there were only eight of them together so maybe it should have been called The Rise of Eight? :p No, the story doesn’t revolve a More...

The Rise of Nine
Lorien Legacies #3

By "Pittacus Lore"

A Review by Eric Allen

Though not exceptionally well written, nor very creative, I did find myself able to enjoy the first book in this series, I Am Number Four. It was a generally harmless tale of a boy coming of age, and it's the sort of thing I'd probably give to a teenaged boy of mine to read. The second book took everything that was superficially entertaining about the first book and utterly destroyed it. After a year of waiting the, strang More...

Review: The Rise of Nine

Finally, after a year of waiting I finally read The Rise of Nine. Of course, this book wasn't perfect and I like The Power of Six way more better, but The Rise of Nine was a great addition to the series, and I believe the events in this book is preparing the readers for the next installment which I believe is going to be awesome and have a great title.I'm going to start with the cons of this book.
I TRIED TO KEEP IT SPOIL FREE, BUT I DID MENTION A COUPLE THINGS, SO BEWARE. More...

i cannot wait!!!!! the last two books were awesome. i reall wish four/john would stop being so funny about sarah i really think he should just dump her, and i can't wait to find out about the other numbers.

Ooooooh! IT HAS A NAME, NOW! :D

Don't like the cover, though.

There is nothing to like a quest to understand everything, even if there is nothing to know.

I am a sucker for books packed with action (and conflict), addicted to them like girls and their book boyfriends. The Lorien Legacies books continue to be more exciting than the last; The Rise of Nine was one helluva book. There’s still three more books to come, but man, I JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT ANYMORE! Okay, since I read The Fallen Legacies novella I may have a smidge of a sense what would be i More...

holy freaking freak.

Four (I'm sorry, I can't bring myself to call him John Smith, which happens to be the worst name I have ever heard in my life) needs to ditch Sarah. I'm sorry, but I just don't like her anymore. Six is so much better.

Nine is a beast. I love him.

Seven annoys me.

I love Sam. I hope they find his dad.

And I hope all of them reunite somewhere totally epic, like Australia. I don't know why I came up with that, but whatever. I can imagine the ending to be extremely amazing, and I'm g More...

The Rise of Nine was another great instalment to the series. It introduced us to more characters and gave us time to appreciate them and hear their back stories. Four has been the main protagonist since the begining of the book and it was great to finally start to see him becoming stronger and able to fight and defend others. Every character had their part and it demonstrated their own individual skill and trates which made them memorable and likeable characters.

Petualangan 7 alien remaja melawan bangsa Morgadorian berlanjut. Kali ini, Nomor Enam, Nomor Tujuh, dan Nomor Sepuluh berangkat ke pelosok terpencil di Himalaya, India untuk mencari Nomor Delapan. Berbagai berita dan milis di internet menyebutkan bahwa remaja India itu merupakan jelmaan Dewa Wisnu, Sang Penjaga Alam Semesta.

Since I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, I decided to pick up the books to satiate my lorien appetite. This third book can be summarized as such: nine whines about how much he misses Sarah, he has a dream about setrakus, there's a loud explosion and a fight with the mogs(or feds) ensues, nine wines again, nine has another dream, another loud explosion and fight, rinse and repeat. I found myself laughing quite a bit as I read, not due to the comedic relief in the story(of which there is none), but r More...

The Lorien Legacies series from "Pittacus Lore" is one of my favorite book series. It's a lot of fun with a lot of action, and it has one of my favorite dog characters ever. The Rise of Nine is the third book in Lorien Legacies series.

I loved the first two books - I Am Number Four and The Power of Six - hard core. The Rise of Nine, however, I didn't like near as much. Don't get me wrong, if you read and loved the first two, I highly recommend you read The Rise of Nine as well.

My main complaint i More...
