The saga continues in The Fate of Ten. The Garde have been separated into two groups--one in New York City and the other in Mexico. The Mogadorian invasion has already reached NYC but the Garde located there try to fight them off and kill their leader, Setrakus Ra. The Mexican group found an ancient powerful entity there. But, trouble is coming to find them. Interestingly, the fictional author of this book, Pittacus Lore, is finally featured as a character.
Amy's Review
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 Legacies 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 so we can wrap this up.
Lynnie's Review
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 helpful and entertaining.
The bad news- the cliffhanger, of course, and the fact that the authors still don't mark who's narrating each chapter. Sometimes it can take a while to figure it out and 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.
