Karina Michele and I will be reading 3 chapters a day, if anyone would like to join you are more than welcome to. (:


Karina I love how loyal the Cêpans are.


Jasmine (jazzyjams) | 1616 comments Aw... If you had started this a couple months ago I could've joined in... It's a fantastic book...


Karina You can join in discussion...just keep in mind where in the book we are so you don't ruin something for us before we read it :P


Jasmine (jazzyjams) | 1616 comments Okay! I love the book... The Garde is an amazing group of characters...


Karina Too bad some of them died too early for us to meet them.


I hate this thing going on with Number Four, Six, Sam, and Sarah. Four likes Six and Sarah and Sam likes Six who she likes back but she also likes Sam and Sarah is just an annoying girl.


Karina I can't believe they left Sam behind -_-


They mention how one of the them will be as powerful as Pittacus Lore was...I wonder who it is?...or was?

I couldn't agree with you more. It's a love triangle within love triangle. It's ridiculous.

The problem is we are somewhat attached to Sam by this point, and Sarah is actually pretty nice (aside from certain... things...) and then there's the fact that Six is just awesome, and that we have to like Four since he is awesome, but not as awesome...


Karina I just don't like it at all, it is like Katrina said, a love triangle within a love triangle.

Loved Sarah in the first book but hated her in the second.


Katrina Welsh (katrinawelsh_) I didn't even like Sarah in the first one.


Karina Haha XD
Why didn't you? I thought she was nice enough.


Katrina Welsh (katrinawelsh_) I guess she was. But I thought she was too perfect and wimpy(?). I don't know. I just remember being annoyed by her. It's been a while since I Am #4. And I apparently tend to not like female love interests.


Karina Okay, I didn't love her but I didn't have as much as a problem with her like I did in the second. Yeah, it has been a while for me too. There are not too many great ones out there.

I haven't started it just yet but I agree. I'm all for Six and Four and well Sam can be with someone else.

Sarah is not cool. I don't like her.


Jasmine (jazzyjams) | 1616 comments Scott wrote: "Sarah is not cool. I don't like her."

She's too nice... And too 'girl-next-door'ish... and she always needs to be saved... To be honest Paradise, Ohio is cliche... Although so is the name "John Smith"...


Katrina Welsh (katrinawelsh_) I agree. I don't like referring to Four as John. Too normal for him. Maybe Sam can be with... Five. If she's a girl. There. that's settled.


Karina And if five is a nice girl! :P

Paradise was supposed to be cliche and ironic!

Yes, of course.

What part are you guys up to?

That would make sense...


Karina Four and Nine were opening their chests and the green light of a Mogadorian cannon appeared.

We are supposed to be at chapter 6. Michele is going to try to catch up though since she has been busy.

Great part!


Karina It is getting good!

What did you guys think of Nine? So far he kind of seems like a jerk.

Nine gets better, I kind of like him!


message 29: by Jay (new) - rated it 4 stars

Jay Nine is funny


Karina Can someone remind me who Ella, Marina, and Crayton are? I am getting a bit confused -_-

Katrina Welsh (katrinawelsh_) Marina is Seven. She was the one who was basically trapped in that orphanage with her Cepan-turned-nun. Healing is a Legacy unique to her. She befriended Ella while she was in the orphanage, who turns out to be Ten. She came from an extra ship who left Lorien after the Four's ship did. She's eleven years old, I think and her Legacy lets her switch from being a seven(?) to eleven year old. Crayton is her Cepan. They all reunited in Spain with Six.


Karina Thanks! I couldn't remember what number they were.

Yeah it's alittle confusing remembering who is who. I think the second book needs a movie asap!


Karina One thing I am happy about is how quickly things started to happen. But I am a little impatient to meet Number Eight!


Karina Has anyone read Lorien Legacies: The Lost Files?


Katrina Welsh (katrinawelsh_) I haven't read any of them


Karina Me either, I am trying to decide if I should.


Did you guys like the POV's?

(I am only in chapter 9)


Karina Even though I found her a bit annoying in the second book, I like Six because she has backbone.

I want to read the collected version
The Legacies (Lorien Legacies The Lost Files, #1-3) by Pittacus Lore


Karina Ooh I am going to try and find a copy of that!



I think I understand Nine a little better so I don't dislike him as much.


Just met Number 8 and I don't like him.


I am dying to find out where Sam is! and how Sarah is really involved.

I am glad my library ordered a copy of it! due to my suggestion :)


Jasmine (jazzyjams) | 1616 comments Scott wrote: "I am glad my library ordered a copy of it! due to my suggestion :)"

I bought a copy when it came out, so I was happy... Personally I think Nine and Eight are amazing! And so is Six, Seven (aka Marina), Ella (aka 10), and Four! I can't wait to meet Five...


Katrina Welsh (katrinawelsh_) I was a didn't like Nine and Eight when I first met them. But they're ok. They grew on me.

Loved it! I'm not in love with the ending, but I still think it's awesome!


Karina I just finished reading the part where Eight shows them the cave and the pictures. I thought it was sneaky of the author to mention number Five but not give us any details regarding gender and age.

So I'm really behind( Sorry Karina!) and I just only finished the first chapter. I'm upset that John and Sam weren't in the first chapter. Besides Six, they are my favorite characters!


Karina It's all right! I understand (:
I love Sam! I think he is my favorite.
