The Rise of Nine audiobook

09/25/2011asdfghjkllkjhgf I can't wait for this book.The ending of The Power of Six left me wanting so much more. D:I really hope Four can just forget about Sarah though, because he's so much better with Six. 09/26/2012WELL, for some reason I thought this book was a trilogy, and up until the last page I thought I had been reading the final book in the series. I guess not. It actually works better this way, because as I was getting closer to the end, I kept thinking, "Are they really gonna end this series without even meeting up with Five?" I felt kinda gypped. Now that at least have time to meet up with everyone. I really liked this book though. The further into the series I get, the more attached to the characters. (Except Sarah. CAN FOUR JUST GET RID OF HER ALREADY? Does he not realize he is DESTINED to be with Six?) I didn't think I'd have to wait for another book, but here I am again, anxiously awaiting the fourth book.

First of all, John/Four should stay with Sarah. I don't care what you say, they were good together in the first book. I don't see why everyone is hating on Sarah. She made one bad choice which we don't even know if it was her. Every relationship has its ups and downs.It will show people to over come challenges with their significant others. Second, Sam and Six should get together. This would by my ideal ending for the series at lest relationship wise.

The Rise of Nine (Lorien Legacies #3), Pittacus LoreNine to be narrating this book with Four. The Rise of Nine is a young adult teen fiction novel by Pittacus Lore and the third novel in The Lorien Legacies.Marina and Six, along with Ella (previously unknown member of the Garde) and Crayton (her Cepan) are on a plane heading towards India, where they hope to find another member of the Garde: Number Eight. As soon as they land at the New Delhi airport they are picked up by men who worship Eight as they believe him to be the reincarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu (it is later revealed that he appeared to them in the form of Vishnu, thanks to his shape-shifting abilities). They plan to take the four to the summit of a mountain in the Himalayas, which is where Eight has made his home. However, before they reach him, they were ambushed by soldiers of the Lord's Resistance Front, an organization of people who want to kill Eight and all of those associated with him. After defeating their attackers and reaching the mountain, Six, Seven and Ten have to face three of Vishnu's avatars, which are used as a way of testing whether they are really members of the Garde. ...تاریخ نخستین خوانش: روز سی ام ماه جولای سال 2014 میلادیعنوان: قیام نه: کتاب سوم از سری میراث لورین؛ نویسنده: پیتاکوس لور؛کتاب سوم از سری «میراث لورین» با عنوان قیام نه، اثری از «پیتاکوس لور» است.خط اصلی داستان سری «میراث لورین» درباره ی یک گروه «نه نفره»، از موجودات بیگانه ی فضایی است، که مجبور به فرار، از سیاره ی بسیار دور خود می‌شوند، و سر از زمین درمی‌آورند.آنها زمانی تصمیم به فرار می‌گیرند، که گروهی از موجودات رقیب، به سیاره آنها یورش، و آنرا اشغال می‌کنند.این «نه موجود فضایی» که در روی زمین پنهان شده‌ اند، خود را به شکل «نه دانش‌آموز دبیرستانی» درمی‌آورند، اما زندگی آنها روی کره ی زمین، با آرامش همراه نیست.«موجودات فضایی رقیب» که متوجه فرار آنها به کره زمین شده‌ اند، راهی زمین می‌شوند،تا آنها را پیدا کرده، و دوباره به سیاره ی خود برگردانند.در این کتاب سوم از سری، «مارینا» و «شش»، به همراه «الا (عضو پیشین ناشناخته ی گارد)» و «کریتون»، در یک هواپیما به مقصد هند حرکت میکنند، جایی که امیدوارند عضو دیگری از گارد «شماره هشت» را پیدا کنند. به محض فرود آمدن در فرودگاه دهلی نو، آنها توسط مردانی که «هشت» را عبادت میکنند، برگزیده میشوند، زیرا آنها باور دارند، که «هشت» تناسخ خدای هندو «ویشنو» است (سپس مشخص میشود که وی به لطف «ویشنو» به شکل ویشنو ظاهر شده است.او تواناییهای تغییر شکل دارد). آنها قصد دارند این «چهار» را، به قله ی کوهی در هیمالیا ببرند، جایی که «هشت» خانه ی خود را آنجا ساخته است.با اینحال، پیش از رسیدن به او، آنها در کمین سربازان جبهه مقاومت خداوند، سازمانی از افرادی که میخواهند «هشت» و همه ی افراد مرتبط با او را بکشند، قرار میگیرند.پس از شکست دادن مهاجمان خود، و رسیدن به کوه، «شش»، «هفت» و «ده»، باید با سه «آواتار ویشنو» روبرو شوند، که از آنها به عنوان روشی برای آزمایش اینکه آیا آنها واقعاً عضو گارد هستند استفاده میشود. ...؛ ا. شربیانی

Another great book from Pittacus Lore. This book is action packed, as the war steps up. The book is a page turner and enjoyable to read there are not quite as many rvelations as the second book. This book does feel like a filler or a snack rather then a main course.Each chapter of this book is written from the perspective of either number 4, 6 or 7. In the previous books we have met number 1,2,3,4,6,7,9 & 10. In this book we meet number 8 for the first time, as well as getting to know numbers 9 & 10 a lot better. Each Lorien develops their legacy's (powers) as they grow older so the higher numbers tend to be more powerful (apart from number 10 who is actually the youngest).At the end of the last book 4 and 9 had just met and were in America, 6, 7 & 10 were in Spain. Sam had just been captured (spoiler Sam is not rescued in this book). Separately they are vulnerable; together they have a chance of beating the Mogs and their leader Setrakus Ra. To do this they have to get along and find each other. New legacies are developed, and some are evolved. This book does answer the question of why these particular Lorians were chosen and sent to Earth. Bringing in some mysticism and prophecy to the story. We also get a hint for how high the Mogs have infiltrated earth. Couple of things that do bother me about this book. This book is very action packed but the fight scenes are quite confusing, and a lot of the things are just unnecessary. Examples 8's test, 4 & 9 arrest where they could have very easily escaped or captured the enemy agents a lot earlier. One of the things that I do hate is to finish a book in the middle of a fight or leading up to another fight, annoying. It also annoys me how many times Pittacus Lore name keeps coming up as the strongest, greatest and wisest. I have to admit I did feel a little let down by the ending of this book, but it did make me look around for book four probably due out next year.

****FINAL RATING: 3.80 STARS**** CATCHALL These books aren't perfect. They have a lot plot holes, and it kind of ticks me off how powerful the characters are. However, they're so much fun that I can forgive all of that. I mean, they give a good four, five hours of fun, and with the little amount of self-control I have there's no way I can turn that down. As for this third installment, it was fast-paced and just like its predecessors, had a ton a action packed somehow into just a few hundred pages. It's very much like a thriller in some ways, although not in others. Still, I without a doubt loved this book. THE LORIC FOURFour is, of course, the first one we met in this series, and so naturally he's the one we know the most about. I'm honestly not sure what there really is to say about him. He's compassionate and caring, that's for sure. Maybe a little crazy, and definitely willing to take some insane risks. Sometimes he can be impulsive. He doesn't always think things through before he acts, which is just irritating. Still, it's hard not to admire his loyalty, even if it's entirely possible it'll get him killed.FIVEWe don't meet Five in this book, so moving on.SIXSix is really brave, and also a bit foolish, and also too impulsive. However, when she is impulsive she, like Four, really doesn't do it for selfish reasons, and so it's hard to get too angry at her for it. And anyway, she's really kind of trying to do what she's been taught to do, so, you know. It's hard to fault someone for that.SEVENSeven is really mild, but she's not afraid to battle it out when she needs to. She kind of stays back on the sidelines, not a central force, but still an important one nonetheless. I like the way she lets others take charge most of the time, but when it counts, she takes a stand and doesn't back down. She tries to do what she thinks is best, and more than any of the others she seems to learn from her mistakes.EIGHTEight is really calm and collected, even though he's seen things that are less than pleasant and could have lasting consequences for himself. Yet somehow he manages to remain lighthearted and doesn't let it define him. I love that. Instead, he grows above it. It is maybe a part of who he is, but it isn't all he is. And I think he's really sweet in his own way, and I also think he keeps a lot inside.NINENine is probably my favorite character in these books. Cause I mean, come on, he's hot. And yeah, he does kind of act like a jerk sometimes. But whatever. I like him because even though he can seem cold and uncaring, that's actually just his way of…caring. He wants to find the others and save the planet. And he doesn't back down from challenges. I love his interaction with Four especially, because you can tell that even though they're always ripping each other apart they actually do care for each other, and have some sort of bond.TENTen is really very sweet. She's significantly younger than the rest of them, but most of the time you wouldn't know it. She knows how to step up and fight when it's get turn, and while she's definitely older than her age, she's not so old that it's ridiculous, and she does act enough like a child that it's believable. THE PLOT This book was insanely full of action. There were some points where I was like, That is just stupid. That doesn't even make sense, but for the most part, I enjoyed the action. Sometimes I admit that it got excessive but honestly without action, these books really wouldn't be anything special. So even though I do think that the action pops up at the most random and yet convenient places, it's also forgivable.And who doesn't love action? Personally I adore the anticipation of it. And it doesn't allow for any boredom, which is awesome. This book was quite literally impossible to put down, and I burned through it in one sitting.The plot really doesn't move too far forward in this book though, honestly. Like I said earlier, too much action and not quite enough ploy development to keep me fully satisfied. I kind of felt like it didn't really go anywhere, was just kind of stagnant. There were some events and such that advanced the plot, but I still really wasn't that pleased. This is one of my main complaints about this book, because who wants to read a book that never goes anywhere?I mean, don't get me wrong, as you can tell by my rating that I definitely enjoyed this book. Still, it was far from perfect. The plot development could definitely have been executed better. THE ROMANCE The romance in this book is…oh, how do I put it…rather erratic. It's just kind of random and thrown in and never developed well. Not only is it totally obvious, but it's poorly done. Pairs are just painfully clear and there's a few weak attempts at love triangles that don't really actually go anywhere. It's stupid, honestly. Sure, the romance has its good moments, but it's really hard to look past the randomness. I don't think I'd call it instalove, exactly, but I wouldn't call it true love, either. There's going to have to be some serious romantic development later on to convince me of its legitimacy. THE WRITING So, writing. Let's see. Our story is told in first-person by Four, Six, and Seven in this installment. It's not awful. I even like it. But it's not sparkling. It's mediocre writing, but nothing more impressive. One thing that is done well is the characters' distinctive voices. Each character has a really unique void and it's easy to recognize it, which is definitely a good thing. However, aside from that, I wasn't majorly impressed or anything. I liked it, but I wouldn't fall over myself to read it, either. THE ENDING Since there wasn't much plot development, as aforementioned, I feel like the ending came too soon, before much really had a chance to happen. So really, I was actually pretty disappointed here. It was so predictable. Obvious, even. It kind of attempted to be a cliffhanger, but as far as I'm concerned, it failed miserably. I didn't feel the urge to desperately read the next book or anything. It just didn't really go anywhere, so what kind of ending could there have been? WRAPUP I will be reading whatever's next in this series, if only because after three books there's really no reason not to, as long as I enjoy them and they don't fail horribly. Yes, this books could have been much better, but it also could have been much worse. Do I recommend this? Maybe. Do you like science-fiction and aliens? Can you overlook mediocre writing? Do you love action? Can you deal with little (very little) actual plot development? If you answered yes, give it a shot. These books are action-packed and fun, but as far as plot development goes they've actually been slowly been getting worse. Still, I do enjoy this series.FINE.Read more of my reviews on Sparkles and Lightning!

The third book in this series unravels the answers to the readers' questions about the main character's true feelings and intentions. Reading this was super exciting as members of the Garde slowly unite and find one another to fight the evil monstrosity that is Setrakus Ra.

Oh come on guys! Seven is not so bad! I liked her. She seems fine to me. I dunno about Nine though. He seems like he may turn out to be a bit of an ass conceded person, I really hope I'm wrong. I loved both books =)I don't like Sarah, I'm really sorry but I don't. Maybe it's because I watched the movie first and hated the way Dianna Agron played Sarah Heart. I tried to like her, really I did, but I could never really get into their relationship. Dang. I wish I had read the books first I might have like Sarah then, cuz in spite of how much I wish Four and Six will get together I'm pretty sure Four's gunna stick with Sarah. And I think we're gunna end up finding out that Sarah didn't really betray Four, it was all an accident or a misunderstanding. Damn. I really don't like Sarah, wish I could.Number 10 is so cool!! Can't wait to hear more about her and her Guardian!! Sam'll be fine, I know he will. Because if he isn't I know of many fans who would hunt Lore down and make him hurt like he made us them hurt. Man I can't wait to meet Five and Eight!!! OMG!! What's gunna happen!? How will Four find Six!?? Who will Four end up with?! What will Five and Eight be like?! Will Sam really be okay?! FUCK!! Why does August have to be so far away!?! Just looking at the release date hurts.

There is nothing to like a quest to understand everything, even if there is nothing to know. I am a sucker for books packed with action (and conflict), addicted to them like girls and their book boyfriends. The Lorien Legacies books continue to be more exciting than the last; The Rise of Nine was one helluva book. There’s still three more books to come, but man, I JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT ANYMORE! Okay, since I read The Fallen Legacies novella I may have a smidge of a sense what would be involved in Book Four... but this is a review for The Rise of Nine – looks like I’m already itching for book four... and five... and six... This series is addictive as hell! There is still so much more awesomeness to come and we’re only halfway through. Imagine what I’ll be like for the final book. Dead, I imagine, from an overdose of Loriens... or Legacies... both. THE LORIEN LEGACIES!Like The Power of Six, The Rise of Nine was told through John’s (Four), Six’s, and Marina’s (Seven) perspectives. It begins with Marina, Six, Ella (Ten), and Clayton flying to India, as they believe that is where another member of the Garde is after reports of a God-like child, which we discover is actually Eight. While those four are occupied with that, John and Nine are also making their own discoveries involving their chests, their Legacies, and about themselves. John doesn’t stop moaning about the loss of Sam and Sarah, and Nine is the one telling him to get his act together. Both groups come across difficulties forcing them to use their Legacies and through a sequence of events find their paths to one another so that they can defeat Setrakus Ra once and for all – at least fight him. ‘We are not going to Ohio to see if another one of your humans is all cozy and safe. This is not our home, Four. These humans are not our brothers and sisters. Everything we do here on Earth is for our real home, for our real brothers and sisters, for the Elders who sacrificed their lives to put us on that ship ...If you don’t have Lorien in your heart, then you should say so right now. I won’t run around with a traitor. Our only goal is doing everything we can to be at full strength so we can defeat Setrakus Ra and his army. That’s it. Got it?'I decide to remain silent. My feelings for Sam and Sarah will never subside. I know this. But Nine is right about what comes first. We are of help to no one if we do not increase our strength, and that only happens if we can find the others.p. 118 from e-ARC Sam makes no appearance in The Rise of Nine sadly since the Mogadorians have him as a sex slave in their brothel captured him, and Four and Nine could not rescue him at the end of The Power of Six. However, there is Sarah towards the end, and my faith is restored in her. Felt so sorry for her. But the humans aren’t the makers of this story. It is the members of the Garde. The new addition to the journey, Eight, has some amazing abilities/Legacies, providing Marina with a boy to crush on and this also provides an opportunity to come to realisations about certain things and into her own self. Six was just as kick-ass ever. And Ella, well, she’s not bad too. Besides his constant moaning over Sam and Sarah, John comes to understand a lot. The chapters of him with Nine show how cheeky Nine can be – a substitution for Sam’s hilarity in The Rise of Nine. Even with their constant bickering and physical fights, I sensed a real brotherly bond form between the two. Where Sam is a friend, Nine is a brother. I just loved it! And then when all the Garde come together (minus one – Five)... wow!Fifty pages in there was a full-scale, explosive, film-imagined action sequence full of missiles and helicopters flying balls of fire. Imagine the action a hundred pages in, then go to the climax and the end. The action doesn’t stop. Even if it’s an exchange of words. I didn’t know what to expect in the oncoming chapters. Pair the action with the perilous adventure and the new revelations about the world of the Lorien Legacies, you have here an amazing science fiction series that will have you wanting more, and you’ll see yourself return as soon as possible. I reached the end of The Rise of Nine and swore because I wanted more. I’m addicted; it’s my crack. It wasn’t a cliffhanger, but it was just a too sudden ending; it was a fantastic close for Act 1. Now, it’s Act 2 and I certain it’s going to kill me. Damn you, Pittacus Lore!

This series is getting better and better with each book I read and I really couldn't be enjoying it more! As with the first two books, The Rise of Nine captures your attention right from the beginning and keeps it until the very end! I didn't think it was possible for this book to be more action packed than the previous one but it absolutely was! It's non stop action the whole way through and I was on the edge of my seat for pretty much the whole book! I also really loved getting to meet more of the Loric and see them developing their Legacies, it's such an interesting concept and it only gets more interesting as you learn more about it! I was pleased to see more of the Mogadorians as well, even though I have grown to quite dislike them! I definitely wasn't expecting to love this series as much as I am and it's been such an awesome ride so far! I had originally planned to take a break after the first three books but seeing as I'm enjoying them so much and after the way this one ended, I'm definitely starting the next in the series immediately!

Awesome to read about so many of the Garde coming together! I plan to start the fourth book asap! Seriously loving this series!

I feel like this series just keeps getting better and better with each book! I thoroughly enjoyed it. The three POVs keep everything exciting and fresh. There was not any point in this book that I was bored or felt that it dragged. There is just enough action to hold your interest and keep you on edge without it getting redundant. I really liked the new characters that were introduced and also the further development of older characters. I have to say, my favorite character is Six, she is just so sassy and such a strong female character. Also! I was worried about being confused since it's been a long time since I read the second book, but no worries! Everything is explained, and you are reminded of things that happened before to jog your memory so you can catch on quickly.I feel like the ending of the book is going to bother a lot of people haha. It left me just kind of like "Really...". It was not bad, but it does leave you hanging and itching for the next book. I kind of enjoy cliff-hangers in a series though because they keep me wanting more.I do have a lot of questions and concerns though: - SAM!!!! what happened to Sam???!!!!-Why does Pittacus Lore insist on being a character in his own book..?-I need more information on the whole US government situation!There were more questions raised (but I don't want to give away any spoilers), and hopefully they will get answered at some point in the series!Great continuation of the series!

I watched the film as few years ago and really enjoyed the story. I was disappointed when the sequel was never made especially since my friends kept telling me how good the book series was. Therefore I thought I would give the book a go and wow, it was a fantastic read! Even though I already knew what was going to happen, since I'd seen the film, I still found myself hooked and excited to read on. I've downloaded the next book so looking forward to seeing how this story unfolds.
