For the final 2 books of The Lost Books series, Ted Dekker has brought another author from within his website fans, Kaci Hill. First up is Lunatic. The story picks up right where Choas, the 4th book left off. The 3 Chosen Ones (Johnis, Darsal and Silvie) are planning to return to their world and leave ours behind.
Once they do, they realize 5 years have gone by and their world is horribly wrong. Their fearless leader, Thomas, is missing with his select group calling themselves The Circle. And the villains of their world, The Horde, have taken over their lands.
Once the kids return, they seem to know every evil Horde leader. Remember, it's been 5 years and these are new evil characters. Maybe I missed something. It has been a while since I've read the first 4 books.
Of the 3 remaining Chosen Ones, Johnis and Silvie decide to find Thomas and his Circle while Darsal decides to create a diversion and in so doing, gets herself captured.
The girl on the cover of the book is a new character who is messing with the boy's mind. She wants to use him for some diabolical plan. Of which we have to wait for the final book to figure out what it is.
I got these hoping for some salvation of the boredom from the first 4 books and so far, have been greatly disappointed.
Maybe it's time to move away, far away from the Young Adult section and just stick with adult novels Ted.
