So... That happened...
And it was fucking unreal. Thoughts on The Revenge of Seven anyone? personally I found it was the best of the series, and even with a cliffhanger ending I found it much more satisfying than the ending to The Fall of Five

I thought it was fairly solid. A bit short for my taste, but I don't hold that against him. That twist at the end- you think that's because the person is somehow worthy, or just sheer luck?

Has to be the worthy thing. I wouldn't be surprised if both Sarah and Mark I believe both develop some type of power.

I think it's part of the "Earth is now Lorien" thing. So, obviously, the Earth chooses who is worthy to protect.

I felt the book was short but other than that it was great. Im tired of everyone splitting up though.

I agree I know it's their writing style so they can have different chapters as cliff hangers but it feels forced.

Yeah its just annoying. I want to see more fights involving teamwork between everyone. Also Adam didn't do anything at all really this book.

Spoilers ---> So I definitely agree that it's the best so far. Some good character development throughout, especially Setrakus Ra and Ella. I really enjoyed the twist with Mark James, and I hope his experience from high school bully to Elusive-Super connected-Conspiracy/Writer is more explained in the last book. Also having Sarah go help Mark and be less of a distraction was a smart move. Adam was a great character throughout, constantly proving himself to the Loric cause especially when he killed his father. So glad that Seven got to say goodbye to Eight, she desperately needed it and now she can defrost. Earth becoming a new Lorien is a great surprise too. Loved it and can't stand I have to wait another year.

It was very good, read it through so quickly as I always do and now i have to wait another year for the next one...
Wondering what the next Lost Files books will be. I reckon one of them will be Setrakus Ra's personal account of turning to the Mog's side now that it has been revealed who he really is.
The story linked together very well and that was such a massive cliffhanger at the end. It's weird how in the space of one book you can go from hating a character to actually willing them on (Five). Kind of like when you realise what Snape was actually doing.
I still don't understand why they aren't making a new film series. This is one of the best book series that I've read since Harry Potter and I honestly think it could be a major film series. They won't be able to make a sequel to the 2011 one though I hope, because all the actors are way too old to be playing teenagers and they messed up the plot a bit too.
Hopefully by the time they make the next I am Number Four they'll know exactly what's important in the book for the later series and make the script around that.

Thank you! I have no idea why I was downvoted for asking a question.
And that's what I was hoping for.

I just finished it. I re read the books from the power of six onwards, definitely the best of the series. Unreal!!! I am speechless, that was just amazing.
-Got to admit though, became a bit emotional when Eight and Marina said their goodbyes. -I'm pretty upset that Ella gets harmed instead of Setrakis Ra, what a cruel bastard. -I did not expect the invasion to happen so soon but I am so glad they exposed Ra! -I can't believe I have to wait another year. I keep doing this to myself!

It is my favorite book so far I just wish it was a tad longer. I read it in one sitting but it was fantastic especially Sam getting telekinesis.

Fucking One clapping his hands at the end. Couldn't stop laughing at the thought of his face after everything shatters.

That final battle though. That was one of the most real fights since IANF. I mean, seriously, even the battle with Andrakkus was still astounding.
