I'm not sure what the author could have done differently, but by this point the books are being bogged down by too large a cast of characters. If each of the 9 are going to be so different in temperament, then they must have differences in their backstory. I would have preferred more insight into the individual backstories. The plot is still engaging, however.

Younger readers may find it a little too violent.
Ah, finally...Sarah died... Entah knp ak malah lebih suka tokoh Mark dibanding Sam. Tp gk usah berharap krn Sam akan tetap ada sampai akhir & bersama dgn no 6. Klo menduga2 John bakal sm no 7, sama2 ditinggal gugur sm org yg disukai.
Di buku ini dijabarkan bagaimana semua berawal, apa yg terjadi antara Pittacus Lore & Setrakus Ra di masa lalu sehingga 9 garde & cepan diungsikan ke bumi.
That was it? :(

I had to re read this so that I can dive in prepared for the last book. I wouldn't change my last rating because despite the events that happened here, it is still as blunt as I have felt the first time. Something special did happen, sure, but it was only on a piece of the whole book. Also revisiting this, I noticed the author best writes on a man's POV. Sam, Four, Five and Nine's chapters were more interestingly and well written that of Marina, Six and Ella's but then again, it wasn't that bad, but not really hyped. Looking forward to United as One so that finally, after 7 years, this can all end.
