 | The Revenge of Seven by Pittacus Lore 394 pages Released: August 26, 2014 |
The Revenge of Seven might be the slowest of the Lorien Legacies books, but it also explains a lot.
I appreciate that. I'm someone who actually enjoys academic lectures
for the knowledge imparted. So when there's a pretty long monologue
that ends up explaining a big plot point, I'm totally ok with that.
Unfortunately, this series is aimed at readers looking for lots of
action and adventure, so lots of explanation and not a lot of action is
not a good thing for them.
In this installment of the Lorien Legacies series the gang is still disorganized and still traipsing around. They're also still very lovable. You can't help but root for them! They're gutsy and kind to each other and they find ways to joke/have fun along the way. In short: they're teens! This series would be so relatable to any teen who picked them up. These are the teens they go to school with... with super alien powers, of course. ;)
The group learns a lot when poor little Ella is kidnapped by Setrakus Ra. I hated this part! Out of the whole group, why her?!? She's the "kitten" of the group. She's the one I want to protect and cuddle. I don't like the thought of little, defenseless Ella in the hands of Setrakus Ra. But she's one tough cookie! It turns out she might have been the best one to get kidnapped. She held up under Setrakus Ra's scrutiny. She protected the other Lorien.
In the last third of the book, the action picks up quickly. Makes the whole thing worth it! When I started this book, I thought this might possibly be the last book in the series (I did not prior research) but it turned out to be only another book in the series! There's at least two more. That's good. When you request this book from your library, go ahead and request the following one- there's one heck of a cliffhanger ending to this one!
I listened to the audiobook version of The Revenge of Seven and it was done well! The narrator does a good job invoking a teenage boy. He also does a good job imparting a sense of urgency to the action scenes without sounding frenzied and also a sense of calm to the explanatory scenes.
I do recommend this series!
