The Rise of Nine, by Pittacus Lore

Rating: Four stars

This book is about the people of the planet  Lorian coming together to fight the evil aliens called Mogadorians. One, Two, and Three are dead. Four is a cautious boy who will do anything for what he loves. Six is a daring girl, and one of the best fighters of her group. Seven is  a girl, and is is far behind on the knowledge of her heritage and powers, because her caretaker was so unwilling to train her. Eight is a boy in India who everyone calls a god. He has many followers that protect him from attacks. Nine is an arrogant boy, and reckless after being locked in a prison cell for a year. Ten is a small girl who has not developed her powers yet. However, an Elder gave her the ability to change ages. No one knows where Five is. 

   

I found this book not the best of the series. With no actual point other than what we know from the previous books, The Rise of Nine seems to be about learning more about the characters than anything. Would of gone better in the first than the last book. Also, the book ends with nothing accomplished. So  perhaps Pittacus has put the ending in Six's Legacy, Nine's Legacy, or The Fallen Legacies, which are books that give even more background on the characters. I've finished another book, so make sure to check back tomorrow!
