Series Gets Better
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The Pendragon series gets better with the second book. Bobby Pendragon begins to accept his role as a traveler and is forced to become a mentor as well. The traveler role becomes clearer in this book, and Cloral is a very interesting world with all of its high-tech water-based technology. MacHale keeps the series interesting by continuing to surpass his creativity with each new world that Bobby and the travelers encounter while trying to foil Saint Dane's plans to destroy Halla(The Universe). I also liked the newer element of time travel that relates to a realm we all understand--Second Earth(Earth). This book is fast-paced and intriguing--those are the two elements I look for when reading a book. The Pendragon series has satisfied those conditions thus far. I hope the rest in the series are as good as the first two are.
Fascinating Story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
In this book, Bobby and Uncle Press are on their way to Cloral, the water world. All the people on Cloral live on boat-like cites and coexist in peace. The inhabitants of Coral make good use of their environment; water is used in many creative ways, from powering cool little gadgets to the material used in building. But Saint Dane has come to Cloral and so the perfect world will not be perfect much longer, unless Bobby, Press, and Spader can save it. When I read the first Pendragon book I was a little confused, trying to figure out whether or not I liked it. When I saw this book at the library, I decided to give this series another chance. And I am glad I did! This book is better then the first one. The authors writing has improved greatly and the story is more engaging and interesting. I really enjoyed reading about the fascinating and fantastical world of Cloral, as well as the introduction of the character Spader. I look forward to reading more of Bobby's adventures and the many worlds he will visit!
Pendragon Power!

This book is simply, AWESOME! I really enjoyed The Merchant of Death and I waited a long time for the sequel to come out. The Lost City of Faar is, if this is possible, better than the first one. There is a lot of suspense in this book as Bobby Pendragon and Uncle Press continue their adventures through time and space. In this book, they go to the territory of Cloral (a water world), where they have to find out what Saint Dane's newest evil scheme is. Will they survive? Find out in The Lost City of Faar...
The Lost City of Faar
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book is truly one of the best books I have ever read. I could not put it down, and it is really hard for me to sit around and wait for the next Pendragon book to come out. For those of you fantasy fans this is the perfect book filled with action, adventure, and magic. So I suggest buying this book immediately.
Wow

D.J MacHale has hit it big with his Pendragon series. The first book was hard to beat, but the second story in this series, Lost City of Faar was just as good as the first, maybe even better. We meet new characters, a new territory with all it's different quirks. Some unexpected things happen which keeps you wanting to read more! We see Bobby understand more and more about what he is and some mysteries are uncovered. Highly recommended if you enjoyed the first book, Liked books such as "So you want to be a wizard", "Harry Potter and ..." and The "Dark is Rising".
