TW/CW: Violence, torture, death, fantasy violence

RATING: 4/5

REVIEW: I am doing a lot of rereading now! I am rereading this series as well as Kelley Armstrong’s Otherworld series. Very different books, but I am very much enjoying them both.

I quickly skimmed the first two of these books as I remembered most of them, and started reading for real on the third one. I’d forgotten a lot of it since my last read was almost ten years ago!

The Rise Of Nine follows the story of the Loric Garde, powered teenagers who were whisked to earth as the only survivors of the destruction of their planet. In this book, all except one are reunited for the first time in ten years, and their battle against those who destroyed their world and are trying to destroy earth really begins.

I really enjoyed this series the first time I read it because it’s totally my thing. I’m a sucker for teen fantasy, and love seeing all the characters’ powers – or Legacies – develop. Even though I know the basic outline of what happens, it’s still exciting and a pleasure to read.

I would definitely recommend this series to people who love YA fantasy. ( )

So, I enjoyed this book. It is slightly better than the other two... but the POV thing? So confusing! It is narrated by Four, Six and Seven, but there is no warning to where each start so it becomes confusing and sometimes it takes a while to understand who is talking.
The story is fast paced and I can't wait to know what's next. But seriously... too much Sarah here and Sarah there. I don't give a shit about Sarah! I want to know about Sam ! And Five! And about the Lorien people and planet!
Overall I give it 4 stars, because i liked Eight,Six, Four and Nine,and the story is pretty nice ( )

I have been enjoying this series. It is a fun easy read. This one was a little more difficult to follow as it jumped from character to character in the first person. ( )

Doh, I thought this was the last book. I guess I'm in for one more. There's only one more, right? ( )
