The Nine had to separate and go into hiding. Nine aliens who might be sitting next to you now. Nine aliens who look like ordinary teenagers living ordinary lives, but who have extraordinary, paranormal skills. Nine aliens who left their home planet of Lorien when it fell under attack by the evil Mogadorian. In the beginning they were a group of nine. Synopsis for I am Number Four (from Goodreads): I also really want to see how the Garde react to him when/if they finally meet him.Series Review: Is this series worth your time? Does it get better as the novels progress? Or does it get worse? Find out below: (Yes, I know I’ve said the title quite a few times.)Īs much as I like the characters that make up the Garde, the character of Adamus Sutekh stands out after this story and I really can’t wait to read more about him in the future. With that said, I’m actually glad that I read this after reading The Fall of Five. The final section of this novella occurs at the same time as the final section of The Rise of Nine, but to me, the end of The Search for Sam concludes in a way that leads into the novel after The Fall of Five instead of The Fall of Five itself. This becomes as important to Adam’s survival as the previous relationship, and I hope to see this part of the story develop more in the next novel. The second relationship is that with Sam Goode’s father, Malcolm Goode. Yes, in fact, I did shed a tear or two about it as well.

Although this is a novella, you get to know enough about their relationship to feel connected to them. There’re two relationships that take precedence with Adam, the first being with another of a Garde that’s not part of the group we learn of in the main books. He’s a special Mogadorian, and there may never be another Mog like him, one who actually cares about other races/species other than Mogs.

Now that I’ve read this, my attraction to Adam has not lessened, but has increased by quite a bit. I’ve already read all the main books up to The Fall of Five, and after reading The Fall of Five, I already liked Adam before starting this novella. Considering there really wasn’t enough of Adam in The Fall of Five, this novella helps shine a light into who he is, and even an idea of contempt the Mogadorians have in general. When I first started reading it, I was actually a bit confused because of the point-of-view of this story, as it’s not Sam’s point of view, but Adam’s.Īdam is actually not part of the Garde, but he does have a Legacy, and this story delves into how and why he does. So, sorry if review ends up being just a bit spoilery. This is the first Lorien Legacies: The Lost Files book that I’ve read, so yes, I’m going a little out of order.
