Actually listened to this one. It was definitely different but I didn't want to put it down. I actually am really enjoying this series. No, the writing isn't great. Lack of adverbs many times but it is a fun story-line and I plan on seeing where it goes. ( )

Allora... Che dire? L'ho cominciato mentre avevo una sorta di blocco del lettore e alla fine l'ho praticamente letto tutto ieri notte.
Aspettavo da parecchio di leggere questo libro, e in effetti mi ha un po' deluso.
Il libro è scritto in prima persona e ci sono i POV di vari personaggi, e quando il POV cambia si entra un po' in confusione perché non c'è scritto di chi sia il POV. Bisogna quindi prendersi un momento per orientarsi.
Inoltre, non è successo praticamente nulla nel libro... Okay, ci sono due nuovi personaggi, entrambi molto sospetti (e alla fine si capirà perché). E poi c'è uno nuovo personaggio che in pratica appare in due scene, una all'inizio e una alla fine... E non capisco che senso abbia. Anche lui molto sospetto, tra l'altro.
Non nego che sia stato interessante vedere i Garde allenarsi e prepararsi alla guerra, anche perché la maggior parte di loro non sono ben addestrati. Però La sfida del Numero Cinque, a parte il plot twist che mi aspettavo find dall'apparizione di un certo personaggio, mi sembra tanto un filler book. In effetti, sono sette libri, e questo è il quarto.
Si risolve anche quel dannato triangolo amoroso Quattro/Sei/Sam che mi stava davvero sulle scatole. E poi boh, sarò io, ma Sarah mi sembra il personaggio più inutile della storia... La romance Quattro/Sarah sarebbe stato meglio che non ci fosse stata anche perché c'è una guerra in corso tra Garde e Mogadorian e Quattro pensa a sbaciucchiarsi la sua ragazza umana... Seriamente? Avrebbe dovuto fare come Sei con Sam.
Boh, vedremo come andrà ne Il Ritorno del Numero Sette, anche se non so quando riuscirò a metterci le mani sopra.

I am not a big fan of sci-fi in the norm but I am enjoying these books immensely. In this installment the gang receives a sign they are sure is from number 5. Is there something off about five or is it just his upbringing? Love is found, lives are lost... This book was too short! ( )

I started reading this thinking it was the last book in the series - they were picking up the last Guarde, and everything would get wrapped up. I guess I didn't think about how much story still needed to be told - the more I got into the book the more I realized that I needed to check, and sure enough, this isn't the last book. I found part of the plot a little predictable, which has been true for parts here and there in the other books, but it was still full of surprises and kept me reading and now I know I have to go find the next book!
