Brief synopsis
We've got Four, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, and Ten now, and they're converging. They are also starting to learn how to use the items in their Chests. Mogs and the government are essentially one organization. Setrakus Ra is a big deal, and causing a big mess. Will the good guys win in the end?

My personal opinion
Having the narrator change every chapter is disorienting for a few minutes, and I don't really like that. But I understand why the author does it- sometimes the characters are physically separate and there's no way to have just one character do all of the narration. But that's really my only gripe. Everything else is great. It's a fun read, kept my interest well, and I'm looking forward to starting the next in the series today. I can't imagine the movie doing any of these justice, though.
Warnings
Language: minor and infrequent
Violence: frequent fighting, not too graphic
"Adult" situations: none, just a kiss or two
Death: yes, including some major characters

Series review as a whole
Series review as a whole
I'm really enjoying this series! Something that's a bit weird to me is that the e-book versions have excerpts of around 4-5 other books in the series. So, the actual books are done around the 85 percent mark (90% for this one in particular). But back to enjoying the series, I feel connections with the characters, I love the special powers, and I like that they're coming together. I believe this will win my Favorite Series of the Year Award.
