the long and agonizing wait is worth it, the rise of nine is beyond what i expected it to be. it completely blew me away. i can't wait for the next book, there are still so many things to know about the garde, planet lorien, the mogs, number four and pittacus lore and everything that is loric. not to mention, where and what in the world happened to sam goode? cfgyhujikldhjhfdjhsd
