I Am Number Four: The Lost Files: The Fallen Legacies (Pittacus Lore)

Adam is Mogadorian, and not just any Mogadorian; he is the son of a high power Mogadorian.

He has been raised to kill. Nothing else matters to his kind. They have created Vat- born Mogadorians who are programed just to fight against the Loric.  No one cares how many people or Mogadorians die just to kill a single Loric.

When number One dies, Adam gets sent into her mind to try and uncover things about the other members of the Garde. But when he learns about her life, he realizes that maybe the people from the planet his kind destroyed are not bad.

Maybe his kind are the bad guys. But if his kind are really the villains, what is he supposed to do about it?

Wow, I actually am going for a Mogadorian.

In the Lorien Legacies (I am number four series), the Mogadorians are viewed as just warriors. I always thought that maybe they had personalities and were raised in a similar way that the Garde were raised. But they are not. Most of them are just made to fight and die. They're disposable.

There was a whole lot of conflict. Mostly character vs. self, and it was interesting. Because Adam really could have either went with what he was raised to believe in (fight against the Mogadorians) or with what is  right (fighting against them). It was interesting watching him struggle so much with the decision.

With this decision came a huge change in his personality. Who he was in the first page is a completely different person then who he became. Its weird how just making one decision can change almost every trait you have.

The Lorein Legacies are probably my second favorite book series just because they are written so well. The plot is always complex and the characters have storylines that are engaging. There is always so much conflict.

4.89 out of 5 stars
