Raven Rise (Pendragon)
Date undefinedRAVEN RISE is a wonderful addition to the PENDRAGON series. It is just as exciting as the rest and keeps you wanting more. I had a hard time putting it down and there is no way that I will not be purchasing the next one so I can find out what happens next!
RAVEN RISE is about a Traveler named Bobby Pendragon. Now eighteen, his struggle to save Halla is harder than ever, and everything he's ever done has come down to this. He must save Halla from an extremely evil man, Saint Dane, who is trying to merge all of the worlds into one.
Saint Dane is not only trying to mix territories, which is something that Travelers are not supposed to do, but he is also trying to create the perfect group of people who will follow under him. What will he do with the "not perfect" people? He will take care of them.
Saint Dane plans on controlling all of Halla, and he will decide what he thinks is right for the people of the territories. He believes he is doing right by deciding people's destinies for them and not letting them make their own decisions. Pendragon, on the other hand, thinks that people should make the decisions of their lives on their own.
The battle is on in RAVEN RISE. The battle for Halla. The internal battle of Bobby Pendragon. The battle of the people of the territories. And the battle between Saint Dane and Pendragon. This is what it is all coming down to.

Date undefinedAfter discharging his duty as lead Traveler in "The Pilgrims of Rayne", Bobby feels as if he really has saved Halla from the demon Travler Saint Dane by trapping him on the territory of Ibara. Sadly he is mistken. The subplots are, by far, more interesting than the main story in the beginning. The traitorous Nevva Winter tricks Mark into doing something horrible. Allowing Alexander Naymeer to become the new traveler of Second Earth. Also, we get to know more about the Travler from Denduron, Alder and the Traveler Patrick Mac of Third Earth. Both characters truly outshine the counterpart Bobby. Then, after Bobby finally gets off of Ibara the main story starts picking up speed till well, the fight for Halla is over. Or is it really over? Old, forgotten face reappear to determine just that and to answer the question of who is Bobby Pendragon and what being a Travler really means. Most interesting book since "The Reality Bug".

Date undefinedThe latest addition to the pendragon series exceeded my expectations. I could not put it down. It answered questions and raised new ones. I am a teacher and read books in order to recommend them to my sixth graders. I love the pendragon series. DJ Machale is one of my favorite authors, fantasy with an anchor in reality. The hero is a believable teenager who faces teenage issues along with trying to save halla. I highly recommend this book and series.
