Hey, guys! It's been a long time coming but I finally read the penultimate Lorien Legacies book! If you haven't already read it, this is a really fun series (which apparently I haven't reviewed before). Either way, I'd recommend the whole series, but you need to read them in order. This review may have spoilers for previous books in the series!

The Cover:
It shows a Lorien sign (for ten?). It is a fairly simple cover and isn't eye-catching, but it works well with the rest of the books in the series's covers. An A- cover.
Official Description:
The sixth book in the thrilling, action-packed, New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series! For years the Garde have fought the Mogadorians in secret. Now all of that has changed. The invasion has begun. If the Garde can't find a way to stop the Mogs, humanity will suffer the same fate as the Lorien: annihilation.
There is still hope. When the Elders sent the Garde to Earth, they had a plan—one which the Garde are finally starting to understand. In the climax of The Revenge of Seven, a group of the Garde traveled to an ancient pyramid in Mexico known to their people as the Sanctuary. There they awoke a power that had been hidden within our planet for generations. Now this power can save the world . . . or destroy it. It will all depend on who wields it.
My Review:
The Fate of Ten is probably the most intense book in the Lorien Legacies series. There was never a dull moment. The action was nonstop, and it was action I cared about, not just random gun waving.
The characters remain one of my favorite parts of this series. They are complex and feel like real people. Over six books, you grow to really care about John, Six, and the others, and their reactions, emotions, and character development feel organic and are fun to read.
The only problem I had with The Fate of Ten is its formatting. The entire book is in first person point of view, split between John and Six (with one chapter from Ella's point of view). However, there is no notification when the point of view changes. This leads to some easily remedied confusion. It's a bit irritating!
Overall, I loved this book. It was a reminder of how much I had loved the series and will (most likely) continue to love it. The last book, United As One comes out on June 28 and I will be sure to read it. If you haven't read the series, I'd recommend reading it. It's a lot of fun.
