One of my favourites!

When it comes to reading books, I usually go for fantasies. I like to get out of the real world and see a different world in which wizards, vampires, werewolves and other fictional characters live in. Even though sometimes they just live on earth, I like to see their perspective of things, how they live, and what they think of humans. When I read a book and I love the way the story is written or I fall in love with one of the characters, then that book becomes one of my favourites. I’m sure many of you have read a book, whether at home or in class, and suddenly thought that this book could be one of your favourites. I’m going to talk to you about one of my favourite books! Well, one of my favourite series.

One of my favourite series is the Lorien Legacies, a series of books written by James Frey and Jobie Hughes. Many of you may know the movie that was based on the first book, “I am Number Four”. I loved the books so far, they always leave me wanting to read more! In brief, there’s a planet called Lorien that has been invaded by mogadorians (the bad people). Only nine children and their guardians have lived and they came to earth. Each child is named after their number and they have their own legacies (powers). They discover those legacies as they grow up. Their guardians are training them in order to get back what was once theirs. The mogadorians have followed them to earth and are trying to kill them before they grow stronger. They killed the first three of the nine, and the other six are trying to find each other to train and gain as much strength to defeat the mogadorians. I’m not sure how many books there are in the series because they are not done being written. I finished reading the fourth book a few weeks ago, which was released on August 27, 2013. There’s usually a year interval between each book publication. I don’t like the fact that I’m going to have to wait a year before reading the next book, especially because they ended the fourth book with a cliff hanger.

What I loved most about this book was the characters, mostly the six kids that are left. They may seem just like normal kids, but they have such strong characters. They were all so different from each other, from their personalities to their style of clothing. Despite their differences, they get along very well and there is a lot of teamwork involved.

I also loved the setting! They went to so many different places around the world and the way it was described made it seem amazing! Also, they talk a lot about Lorien, the world they lived in and the scenery seems so beautiful from everything written about it. I hope they win this war and go back to Lorien so I can find out more about it!

The story gets me every time. There is always something new, always added obstacles that prevent them from either training or finding each other. It always keeps me wondering what’s going to happen next. There are times where those obstacles take them into another obstacle which makes is harder to get out of it.

All in all, I loved every second of every book and I recommend it to many people that are into action and fantasy. I hope you enjoyed this week’s blog! That’s all for today!
