This was not what I expected at all! The first Lost Files installment to be published was Six's Legacy, which came out after I Am Number Four to chronicle the backstory of Six who appeared towards the end of that novel. The second installment, Nine's Legacy, appeared after The Power of Six where Nine is briefly introduced toward the end without much in the way of backstory. Both of these installments were great in giving a deeper look into these characters and what made them into who they became when Number Four finally met them.
It was great hearing that the story behind the three fallen legacies would be introduced before the final novel in the series, The Rise of Nine. So part of me thought there would be these three broken stories detailed where One, Two, and Three started, and where they ended up when they were found by the Mogadorians. And that's not what happened at all. The Fallen Legacies chronicles, instead, the point-of-view of a young Mogadorian that gets introduced to truths of the Loriens that his culture ignores in their quest for absolute power. I loved watching him transform, and how he often felt helpless in his own personal battles. Best of all, I'm left with the abundant hope that he'll become a central part of the final novel and I'm now eagerly waiting to see how that novel plays out. Now if only they'd finish the movie franchise instead of stopping with the first.
