The Fate Of Ten | Review

I’ve fallen head over heels for the series and out of all the books and novellas that they’ve put out The Fate of Ten is the first one that I have mixed feeling about. The sixth installment of the I am Number 4 series started off great. It was really exciting and gripping at the beginning but then it slowly lost its stamina.
There is a huge chunk of the book that is simply padding, it’s not very interesting or useful and doesn’t really push to story forward. The new Garde they introduced in New York quickly became lame and annoying to the point that it bothered me whenever I had to read any lines from that character. The dialogues in general were cheesy and a bit boring in this installment – more so than in the other books. The only salvation for this book is the action, it’s very cinematic and easy to follow. I was drawn to the action sequences and very much felt like I was part of the battles. 
Reading these books for years, I had imagined an origin story for the Mogadorian-Loric war but I always expected something better from the writer(s) and I was very disappointed by the one they came up with but at least it confirmed a few things about John and that was fun.

The Fate Of Ten has its highs and lows but is as good of a read as the rest of I Am Number Four books.
