Pittacus Lore: United as One (2016)

    The Mogadorians have invaded Earth. Their warships loom over our most populated cities, and no country will risk taking them head on. The Garde are all that stand in the way, but they’ll need an army of their own to win this fight (Goodreads).

    United as One does not pick up where the previous book left off, with non-stop action. Instead, the start of the novel is rather slow, however the second half of the book takes a whole new turn, showcasing the darkness of full fledged war with excellent narration, but still with the bits of humor readers have come to expect. At some points, the hopelessness of the protagonists is overwhelming, especially since they have a backup plan prepared in case they all die. However with some confusing references to companion novels, the plot is almost disconnected and another unsatisfying ending makes readers unsure of whether the series is over yet. Overall however, a dark and rich conclusion to an epic series. 7.7/10
