The Fall of Five is the heartstopping fourth installment in the Lorien Legacies series by Pittacus Lore.
I thought things would change when I found the others. We would stop running. We would fight the Mogadorians. And we would win.
But I was wrong. Even though we have come together, we barely escaped from them with our lives. And now we're in hiding, figuring out our next move.
The six of us are powerful - but not strong enough to take on their entire army. We haven't discovered the full extent of our Legacies. We haven't learned to work together. Time is running out, and there's only one thing we know for certain: We need to find Number Five before they do.
They caught Number One in Malaysia.
Number Two in England.
And Number Three in Kenya.
I am Number Four. I was supposed to be next.
But I'm still alive.
This battle is far from over.

The first book in Pittacus Lore's Lorien Legacies series, I Am Number Four, is now a major Disney motion picture, and along with The Power of Six and The Rise of Nine, perfect for fans of The Hunger Games.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

For the uninitiated, I Am Number Four (2010), The Power of Six (2011), The Rise of Nine (2012), and the six related novellas may sound like a superfun math series. Fans, though, know just what to expect by now: insanely brave teens, überevil Mogadorian alien invaders, various mystical gadgets, a dash of romantic tension, and lots and lots of explosions. This time out, the mysterious flying Five has been located, and he’s a rather peculiar Lorien—can he be trusted? There is a good deal of training with magical powers here, some running around searching for the magical Phoenix Stones, and a fairly refreshing change of pace via chapters from the point of view of regular old human Sam. So how is the series holding up as readable fiction? Well, all right, if it’s your cup of tea, though diminishing returns have been the name of the game since the highly enjoyable first volume. By now, though, the series is a James Patterson–style franchise, and with plenty of numbered teens yet to be killed, expect it to keep on bashing along. Grades 7-10. --Daniel Kraus

Series is only getting better as it delves into the darker side of the Loric/Mogadorian War!

May 20, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is the 4th in the Main series, and picks up were the Rise of Nine left off. All of the Garde except number 5 are together, and the group decide that they must get 5 so that they are at full strength after their near defeat at the hands of Setrakus Ra in the last book. And as such, as the title gives away, this book is about Number 5.
This is how the group finds and meets him, how he joins them and their initial interactions. There is a lot more to this, as the title indicates, but I am not going to give it away, sorry no spoilers. Needless to say, this is a pretty full on story for the Lorien series, there are some vicious battles, and some emotional content. There are some graphic scenes in this story, and I would warn that it is probably for a slightly more mature audience than the previous novels, or will require some parental guidance during reading it for younger readers (as in those of the 10-12yrs which I would have thought ok for the first few books)
Overall this book is a lot grittier than the others, it has gone from being the slightly amusing, teenage good vs bad story, with the occasional heart wrenching moment (when Cepan’s die for example), to rather dark and foreboding futures, graphic violence, and strong emotional themes. Don’t get the wrong impression, this is a good change, it adds a new depth to the story, and shows the direction the story is headed. After all, this is about a war between a nearly decimated race and a war mongering species right?
This story explores each of the emotional states of the main Garde, although we only hear narration from John and Marina, telling the story from their point of view, as well as giving us an understanding of the toll it is taking on them.
The other interesting point of view in this story is Sam. The start of the book actually covers his time in imprisonment and eventual rescue by his Father and Adam from Sam’s point of view. As the story continues he tells parts of it from his perspective which is really great to read. It's interesting hearing it from Sam’s point of view.
This is a really great read, and an improvement over the other books, the story has improved, and the characters have grown. The battles in this book are fierce and brutal, with dire consequences.
There are new characters, new legacies, we learn a lot more about Ella, for those that like the back story, we also learn more about Lorien and the histories etc. And as I have said, there are numerous super powered battles for those that love the Super Hero aspect.
I would like to write some things about 5, especially after having read the 2 ‘Lost Files’ that go with this story, but I don’t want to give anything away. Needless to say, once you read this review, then read the 2 ‘Lost Files’ I am sure than many of you will have an understanding of what I mean.
For fans of the series, there are several questions answered, but, there are a lot more asked as well, dragging you deeper into the series. This is a must read if you are a fan, or have enjoyed the first parts.

Exciting and interesting.

I really liked this book, there is enough excitement for me and some interesting insight into the characters. I recently saw the movie I am Number Four and liked it, then found out there were several books out. I didn't do my research to realize that The Fall of Five is not the next in the series which explains why it felt like I missed a lot. There was enough back story in the book to fill me in on what I missed. Now I feel that the 2 books in the middle might not be as exciting but I'm going to read them anyway.

The one thing that really bothered me is how the author switches from one person narrating to another and it's not always clear when this happens so it sometimes took me a couple pages to figure out who was talking. This can be a very effective tool in telling different viewpoints of the same story but not so much in this case. For one thing all the narrators talked exactly the same. If you're going to have another person telling the story from their viewpoint they should have their own individual style of talking. Even though the story is being told by a different person it's being said in the same voice so it's not believable.

I like reading stories in the first person but if you're going to use that style then you need to make the switch in your head so each person has their own distinct voice. I don't understand why this wasn't more easily taken care of since the book is actually written by 2 people which makes me think 1 person comes up with the ideas and perhaps the plot while the other person actually does the writing.

I would have given the book 5 stars if the authors hadn't failed so miserably in their multi-first person narrative. The story is great, it's exciting to read science fiction that is new and different. I am anxious to read the next book which I'm assuming probably won't be out until sometime in the fall of 2014.
