The Lorien Legacies is easily one of my favorite series. And Sarah Hart is definitely my favorite character. I cannot wait for The Revenge of Seven to come out, so I was scrolling through Goodreads comments to see some theories that people had. The one occurring theme I saw was that no one really liked or cared about Sarah. A lot of people thought that something big is going to happen to her, which I completely agree with. But, that's not what this post is about. A lot of the people said that they felt like Sarah was "just there" and she wasn't really doing anything to help the group, but, I don't think that the group could function as easily without her. Of course, everyone can have their own opinion, but think that she is really the only reason that John has some of his sanity left. She is what is holding him together. She has a connection to the calm life he had in Ohio and to Henry. Also, they would not of won the battle at Nine's house if it weren't for her. Everyone was in Florida dealing with Five who was being a complete jerk, and John was in that dream state that Ella put him in. So, Sarah and Sam had to fight the Mogs by themselves. Another thing that I continually saw was that people really wanted Sarah dead. People were listing reasons why they didn't want her alive, but no one really said what the repercussions of her death would be. I think that after John went and got revenge on all of the Mogs for her death, he would be a mess. I don't think that he would know what to do with himself if her lost her. That probably sounds really dramatic, and I am not saying that he is not a strong character, but Sarah is the main reason he is fighting. Other than Henri, he technically doesn't have any other motivation to continue on in the war. And, John is kind of the brains behind the operations. We could see in The Fall of Five that he was responsible for coming up with pretty much all of the plans. So, I think that if he fell apart, everything would eventually go down with him. And, John and Sarah are one of my main OTPs, so if she died, I would be very upset. What do you think about Sarah? Also, do you have any therios about The Revenge of Seven? I would love to hear about them! Thanks!
I think one of the factors that makes people hate (Sarah/Sarah and John's relationship) is that it's just so... twilight. And you already might know that people are sick of that extraordinary-hot-male partnering with miss-perfect-damsel-in-distress duo. It's already getting a bit cliche you know? Generally, the series was up to a good plot and story, the revelations, the sequences, etc, so i guess people were also disappointed that Pittacus lore got this love plot for our hero.

I can't believe she died. My life is literally over. She was a beacon of innocents and now she is done...
