Five's Betrayal

A very tragic but mediocre backstory for Five, as we continue from Five's Legacy and see him further ingratiate himself into the Mogadorian hierarchy. Setrakus Ra is manipulative, Ethan and Emma are back (and suffering) and Five is hugely emotionally conflicted. As the story tries to match with events in the larger Lorien Legacies series, it all unfortunately feels a bit mundane and average as we end up with Five where we first find him in the mainline books - except for a great ending with Ethan and Five's leather blade, which ends up adding a star to the novella.

Here's the thing, for the past few Files I have read, I have seen snippets of everyone mind at some point. That's the beauty of the Lorien Series, even the actual Novels gives us the minds of all the garde, at some point, yes confusing but it's all wonderful. This world is so concrete at well defined that you can almost see that this is actually real. And part of me does.

Now with Five's betrayal, I know Five has got to live, hence the I am officially one of them now. shit that he is saying, but now, I think I can say that he is not just the brainwashed garde to me anymore, he is just doing this to survive, that's what everyone wants right, whether he is loyal or not to the garde, he is just thinking about himself. Which is perfectly fine. Survival by the fittest.

As what Ethan said Do whatever it takes to survive. I knew he has a nose on what's going on.

I want to pick Revenge of Seven up, but you know the feeling that if you get into it, it might end too soon, just like what happened to me with Fall of Five.
