The Lost Books series was written to fill in some of the blanks in Ted Dekker's other series (The Circle), which I have not yet read. There was commentary at the beginning of this series explaining how they were related, and that you could read either one of the series first, but having read the Lost Books first, I can't help but wonder if I wouldn't have been better off reading The Circle first.

Darsal has been “drowned” and reborn, and has been instructed by Elyon to love the Horde and Johnis. Johnis is possessed by Shaeda, but has enough love for Silvie that he’s not given totally to evil. As the story draws to it’s climax, things really get tense. The battle rages as evil fights among itself, in various forms, and Elyon, through Darsal is frantically trying to win back Johnis, Silvie and Marak, the Horde General that Elyon has sent her to love.

The plot of this book really started in book 5, Lunatic. To recap: Johnis is possessed by the Leedhan queen, Shaeda. He is in possession of a medallion that he stole from the Shataiki queen and can be used to control all Shataiki. To do so, though, he needs the help of the Teelah priest to perform a ceremony, so he has allied himself with and become Horde. Silvie is tagging along with him to give him his only anchor to sanity and way to prevent Shaeda from completely taking him over. (He & S...more
Elyon is the (currently) final book in the Lost Books series, though these last two books have almost nothing to do with the Lost books themselves, or for that matter, the story that unfolded in the first 4 books at all. The 4 book arc that started pretty well and ended very well is followed up by this 2 book mini-arc which follows Johnis, Silvie and Darcal back into Middle, but 5 years later after the horde has taken over the forests and Thomas Hunter and the circle are on the run or in hiding....more

...and finished, but not really. The cool thing about this series is that while named 'the circle' it is circular reading. These 6 books which in order spell C.I.R.C.L.E. (first letter of the single-word title), are part of another connected series of books which have colors as their title (Red, Green, Black, White).
While trying to determine where to start for this series, I read somewhere that you can start at any of the 'color' titles or at the beginning of the 'C.I.R.C.L.E.' series. Cool i...more

I have to say, I am very disappointed with this book. As the close of the series, you'd expect something dramatic, awesome, breath-taking, memorable. But starting with book 5, this series really took a downward spiral in my opinion. I was okay with 5 at first since it was a to-be-continued and I didn't know the actual outcome until I got to this one; now my rating for 5 goes down too. I really dislike when authors take a series and completely flip it around to where it doesn't even make sense an...more
What. The heck. Happened to this series.
To be honest, I thought it had a lot of promise from Chosen. I was totally into the eye on the cover, all of that.
And then?? This idiotic creep appears on the cover of Lunatic. Johnis, the heck are you doing with her? From there on, the plot just crumbles in my fingers. I couldn't believe what happened to the series by the end. The first four were wonderful, but then the series just couldn't hold its own wait.
I expected so much from the series.

It definitely kept me reading, a page-turner. However, in the end, I didn't really like this book as much as the others in the lost book series. I would probably have to blame the leedhan and her controlling ways. I didn't like the suspense of wondering how the main characters would escape her clutches. I liked the story of Marak and Darsal, but found myself really annoyed with Johnis and Silvie. I also hated the end. I mean, it wasn't bad, it just wasn't what I was expecting.
I enjoyed the first 4 books in this series, but once book 5 started, everything started to get uninteresting. My hope was that this book would redeem book five and the direction Dekker decided to take the characters. It didn't. I lost all interest in the characters and the story which wasn't even interesting. His writing is engaging, but he could have done much better on book 5 & 6.
This definitely wasn't the best book in the series. There was too much left unresolved and the few plot resolutions that did take place were much too obvious ...in the last few pages, especially, it was like they'd decided to end on a certain page number and just crammed everything in the last five pages in order to get it to fit.
I had trouble staying focused throughout this book. my attention kept wandering and I found myself counting down to finally be done with the series. the first 4 books were good. book 5 was OK and book 6 just dwindled out in a soft fizzle. boooo

So far it seems pretty pathetic. Dekker has changed the characters a lot. I'm reading it only to find out what happened to Thomas. If you are reading the Lost Books I would say just read the first four, the last two are sad.
This series lost steam. While I enjoyed the last two, the whole episode with Shaeda was too exaggerated to be enjoyed. The finale by the river was disappointing and did not adequately resolve the various plots.
This was the best Lost Book!! Mr. Dekker left room for more, but I think if he does more, it would be like beating a dead dog with a bone. Excellent ending to a great series. Darsal finally found her man. And it looks like Sylvie and Johnis are finally going to get together.
i liked all the LOST books but this was better than some #4 was lame and i almost put 6 down as he said 25 time "and her eyes her lovely eyes how could i look away" but on the whole enjoyes the series
This was a disappointing ending to the series for me. I felt like the lead character lost the very traits that made me love him to begin with and things took a left turn in a strange direction.
BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This book is a light read, but it was so ridiculously STUPID that it took me 2 weeks to read this book. The only reason that I read it was so that I could finish the series; if it was a standalone book, I would have stopped after the third chapter.
A fitting conclusion to The Lost Books. It contains all the action and suspense of the the first five novels and then some. What a great read.

I enjoyed this book. I really like the relationship between Marak and Darsal, and I like Johnis at the end. I hope there will be more in this series.
A magnificent read, and a great ending to a great series. It will make you bite your nails, and make you cheer in the end.
Much better than number 5 in the series, and for the most part ties the story together, though it is kinda sad to...
I did love this book a lot. I wish that Dekker would have continued into the forest...but it was still good.
Expected more but the Dekker magic's still in the book and it has a sort of enigmatic ending.
I was disappointed with the final book. I felt like there was something missing.
This was a very fun and exciting series for me. The final two books, Lunatic and Elyon, which were co-written by Ted Dekker and Kaci Hill, had a disjucntive flow. There were many sentence fragments, which were quite annoying and were almost non-existent in the first four Lost Books, which raises the assumption that this change came from Hill's writing style as opposed to Dekker's. Either way, the series was excellent. I am excited to continue reading through The Circle and learning more about th...more
Beautiful depiction of life as we know it. Creepy and divine.
I was a little disappointed about the Conclusion of the series , but still , it was a great series
the only good part was the ending. it ended happily but now there is more.....
