Another great book from Pittacus Lore. This book is action-packed, as the war steps up. The book is a page turner and enjoyable to read. There are not quite as many rvelations as the second book. This book does feel like a filler or a snack rather than a main course.

Each chapter of this book is written from the perspective of either number 4, 6, or 7. In the previous books , we met numbers 1,2,3,4,6,7,9 & 10. In this book, we meet number 8 for the first time, as well as getting to know numbers 9 & 10 a lot better. Each Lorien develops their legacy's (powers) as they grow older, so the higher numbers tend to be more powerful (apart from number 10, who is actually the youngest).

At the end of the last book, 4 and 9 had just met and were in America, 6, 7 & 10 were in Spain. Sam had just been captured (spoiler Sam is not rescued in this book). Separately, they are vulnerable; together, they have a chance of beating the Mogs and their leader Setrakus Ra. To do this, they have to get along and find each other. New legacies are developed, and some are evolved. This book does answer the question of why these particular Lorians were chosen and sent to Earth. Bringing in some mysticism and prophecy to the story. We also get a hint for how high the Mogs have infiltrated earth. A couple of things that do bother me about this book. This book is very action-packed, but the fight scenes are quite confusing, and a lot of the things are just unnecessary. Examples 8's test, 4 & 9 arrest where they could have very easily escaped or captured the enemy agents a lot earlier. One of the things that I do hate is to finish a book in the middle of a fight or lead up to another fight, annoying. It also annoys me how many times Pittacus Lore name keeps coming up as the strongest, greatest, and wisest. I have to admit I did feel a little let down by the ending of this book, but it did make me look around for book four, probably due out next year.
