I wish it was longer... Just wishing...

[Rissa Flores · Rating 2 out of 5]

Wish it was a bit longer, since in my opinion Eight's Legacies are some of the best Legacies among all the Garde members. Also, I wish there were more parts about his Cepan, or his relationship with Cepan. Although, for 11 quick pages, it was still an interesting read.

Never had I realized on how Number Eight would be this cool, the moment I read this.
It gave me more information about him, on who he really is and what to expect more as you read on the series, starting of course in
The Rise of Nine.

One thing that got me hooked with this one, was the moment when the cute black rabbit appeared next to him. And then he started to develop his new legacy until he met this mysterious guy, who knows him, even in a shape of a rabbit.


I definitely recommend this one to fans of of the I Am Number Four Series. Especially when you like Number 8.

For those who don't know, this story can be found here.

Honestly, there's really not much to this. I actually found Number Eight's narrative of his past in The Rise Of Nine to be much more detailed than this, but it's still something to read if you're a huge fan.

Otra lectura rápida. Como sugiere el título, esta historia revela la historia simplificada del origen del Número Ocho sin entrar en demasiados detalles por supuesto. Es corto y al grano sin alguna especie de adorno...después de Nueve, creo que Ocho es mi personaje favorito.

*5/5 stars*
This was so short. SO SHORT! For some reason I really like Eight and Nine. They're awesome guys. And Four, of course.

Una vez más opino lo mismo de estas precuelas de Soy el Número 4 y es que, a pesar de ser una historia que podría ser interesante, se me ha quedado corta debido a las pocas páginas que tiene. El resto son las largas y me han gustado más, pero este fragmento se parece más a los diarios que a los legados de los lorienses.

So many of these stories I think actually should be in the original books because they just add so much to the characters.

waaaay better than the last book i read
at least i learned something new

p4: the rabbit and i began chasing each other through the bushes, jumping over rocks, darting behind trees. just having some good, old-fashioned rabbit-style fun.

¿Qué? ¿Eso es todo? Me quedé con ganas de saber máaas.

[Zakaria Daoud · Rating 5 out of 5]

Why would you make it so SHORT. I love Joseph or Ivan or Vinshu better known as 8 but why did Pittacus made this so so short.
Eight is the best Garde of all time, well to me anyway, it didn't say a lot about his origins and it could've been better if it covered some other legacies but it's just some pages so I think it was just something to keep us addicted.

No puedo negar que todos los archivos perdidos son geniales, uno pensaría que se tornarian aburridos pero solo nos hacen enamorarnos aun mas de los personajes, al conocer pequeñas anécdotas desde que eran beibis y en su dia a dia, cuando no tienen q luchar una guerra, que definirá el destino de la humanidad. <3

[Val · Rating 3 out of 5]

Super short. Just a few pages, but a nice glimpse at eight. Nothing surprising is revealed if you have already read Rise of Nine.

[Ofelia · Rating 3 out of 5]

Short... but insightful... after Nine, I believe Eight is my favorite character :D But i do wish this bonus story was longer.

''Completly in love of Eight''

[Kim · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really liked this look into Number 8 before he was completely amazing with all his abilities and was just a lonely boy. I wish it was longer though.

[Ivka_s_knihou · Rating 4 out of 5]

i miss him. :(

tooooooooo shoooorrrrrtttt!!!!

No estaría mal si hubiera sido un poquitín más largo.

[Esme Mendoza · Rating 3 out of 5]

Un archivo que puedes leer justo después de el ascenso de nueve.

Me hubiera gustado que fuera igual de largo que los archivos de número seis y nueve, me hubiera gustado ver cómo fue su vida desde el momento que llegaron a la tierra. Aquí te lo describen de manera rápida y concisa. Pero fue agradable volver a leer sobre número ocho porque definitivamente es el más cool de todos los guardianes.

También me hubiera gustado conocer a Reynolds y ver cómo era realmente con Ocho, y también cómo vivieron la traición de Lola.

[Edna Mercy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another quick read. As the title suggests, this story reveals the simplified origin story of Number Eight without going into too many details. It is short and to the point without an sort of embellishment. There is a curious thing that happens at the end that I think may play itself out in The Rise of Nine.

[Linda Hamonou · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a very short summary of Eight's life alone in the mountain, more like this feelings about his life. We don't see much of his training after that which would have been a lot more interesting.
I guess we could have one full novel for each Garde life before they actually meet up but I guess that's not happening.

[Juan Quiroga · Rating 4 out of 5]

"El Origen de Ocho" se contó en parte en el libro "El Ascenso de Nueve". Narrado desde el punto de vista de Numero Ocho, el lórico que vivió en India y sobrevivió como pudo, plasma sus sentimientos y su sabiduría ante la adquisición de sus legados, su entrenamiento como también sus pérdidas. Pero lo mas importante: jamas perdió las esperanzas.

PD: solo está disponible en inglés y en digital.

Eight seems to have interesting powers....
These "Lost Files" should really be called Cepan Deaths, because that's what most of them are about, poor guys/ladies 😅
This one was very short and I'm not sure the man that found him is trust worthy but....guess I'll find out soon. Eight seems to have been living on the wild side after losing his Cepan because of, once again, a woman smh

Me hubiera gustado saber más sobre Ocho :(
Me pareció una historia que reflejaba a un niño que aún sentía mucha molestia hacia su cêpan, y que al final tuvo que estar solo y lo culpaba por ello. Me gustó mucho, es un nuevo matiz sobre la personalidad tan brillante y despreocupada que nos muestran en los libros.
