In the end, it was thoughtful and following these three villains around gave a great view of the war. It’s possibly the best part of this novel and it’s shame it was at the end and yet it was the perfect way to end of the Lost Files series. It’s an intriguing perspective and he’s such an interesting character is a shame that more time wasn’t devoted to his idealism, his doubt, and his growth. It’s an interesting perspective because his doubt shadows his narrative. Rex is such an interesting character because while he is devoted to the war effort, the only truth he has ever known, doubt shadows his actions because of his friendship with Adam. The same friend who helped Adam save the Chimæra, the allies of the Lorien, the Mogadorian enemies. It follows Rex, who readers will know as the Mogadorian friend of Adam. Now, the third and final perspective is where more time should have been devoted. But it’s such a minor thing, it wasn’t essential. It shows the reader the new generation and their first encounter with the Mogadorians before they enter United as One and take over the story in Generation One.
Now while, the first story adds, the second story, following a vat-born, doesn’t add anything. It also sets the stage for how Phiri Dun-Ra ended up getting her Lorien abilities.Īgain, it doesn’t add a whole lot to the story, but it does give insight into everything happening behind the scenes. Now, while the story doesn’t add much, it does give a little insight and backstory into what was going on with the Mogadorians, With Setrákus Ra, and his defeat at the hands of the Loriens at the Sanctuary and how this deeply affected the Mogadorians. Here the reader gets to truly meet the ruthless female warrior. And yet there so much more to it than that. Much of the time, Mogadorians are alluded to as robots, unthinking and brainwashed by their society and their leader. And yet, the reader knows nothing about her. The first part of the novel follows Phiri Dun-Ra, a high-ranking Mogadorian female warrior who has had many encounters with the Loriens. It gives the overall story another layer and showcases some of the villains who were merely mentioned in the novel.
By doing this, fans of the series get a chance to see deeper into the mindset of the Mogadorians, how they think and how they regard this invasion, this war effort. There are three different perspectives in the novel, two true born Mogadorians, and one vat-born one. The only novella in the series that focuses on the Mogadorian side of the series.
