The Unity of One

Pittacus Lore

Book 7 of the Lorien Legacies series

The final book in the series, I have really enjoyed these. The read is super fast, low level reading so there is not a huge investment. And yet, the story held together pretty much throughout. In this installment, the final battle is presented. The Mogs have openly attacked all the major cities on earth and the Guarde are looking for a way to defeat them. Throughout the series, I will say that the setup has been as follows: a bunch of Guarde (9 of them) were put on earth and distributed for protection, but they would need to come together at the right moment to defeat the Mogs. And then the title of this installment, and I am thinking some sort of Transformers, everybody come together and a larger power/new combo legacy is revealed. Sadly, the battle (spoiler alert) is won. But won by basically a bunch of individual actions. Yes, every member of the team has a role in the victory, but essentially, nothing of unity or necessity of gathering was really offered. Don't get me wrong, this is but a minor disappointment in a largely entertaining series. Looking for some quick sci-fi reading this summer, this could be your series.
