Is he too far gone to be saved? Discover how Five became one of Earth’s and Lorien’s most dangerous adversaries and decide for yourself.

How was it?

Pittacus Lore managed to write yet another engaging novella that keeps you wanting more. The universe of the series is expanding and I love it.

When number five first appeared in the series, I was happy that the garde were reunited but I didn’t trust him at all. In Five’s legacies, I came to like five. His insecurities, his laziness, and his need to connect were something that I could relate to. But in Five’s Betrayal, I went right back to where I started. Learning about what led him to do what he did in the Fall of Five did not bring any kind of compassion. I don’t hate him but I don’t like him. I never trusted him anyway, so if he could die I wouldn’t really care. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for him in the Revenge of Seven and I hope there’s no redemption for him in the future that would really make the whole storyline suck.

What did you guys think of the novella?

Rating: 4 out of 5.
