Alex’s comments from the F 16 Junior English group.

The seventh and final book in the Lorien Legacies series, United as One, was an extreme let down. The series was amazing. It was full of action, a hint of romance, and evoked a range of emotions. However, this final book was extremely slow, super predictable, and didn't leave me feeling upset nor joyful.
In "United as One" a large focus was put on John, the main character, learning new legacies, or for those who haven't read any books in the series, super powers. This wasn't exciting at all and made me want to simply read the last 50 pages of the book instead.
Anyone who has read at least one book from the Lorien Legacies could've predicted this ending. The final battle between the Garde, John's group of aliens with unimaginable powers, and Setrakus Ra, the antagonist of the series, goes down. The battle was anti-climactic and brushed over.
The only feeling I was left with after reading this grand finale was sorrow. Not because of how the series ended, but because of how poorly it was portrayed. It was not an exciting ending.
It's hard for me to recommend this book to anyone. For anyone who is already reading the series save yourself the time and just google how it ends. There aren't any major surprises and you probably already know how it will end. For anyone who hasn't read the series I strongly encourage you to read the earlier books, but like I said, skip this last one.
