The Pendragon series has been one of our all-time favorites for years, and it obviously still holds that rank in our household. This series finale did not disappoint.
The star of these books is Bobby Pendragon, a 14-year old boy living in Connecticut with his family at the start of the series, and an 18-year old young man who is responsible for the fate of the universe by the end. In between, it's a fast-paced adventure through space and time to different Territories, peopled by a wide variety of beings, all united in a race against time to defeat evil, in whatever form it appears in their world.
I'm not going to say much about the plot of this particular book because the twists and turns are an integral part of the imaginative story, and I wouldn't want to ruin it for anyone who wants to read the series from the beginning...which I highly recommend! My son and I were both very satisfied with the series ending and the answers it provided. I couldn't wait for him to finish it, too, so we could talk about it!
Pendragon will appeal to older kids, teens, and adults who enjoy adventure, science fiction, or fantasy with an intricate, suspenseful plot that makes you keep turning the pages long past bedtime. I couldn't wait to read the final book, but now I'm sorry that it's over. I'll miss Bobby and his friends! Give this series a try - you won't be sorry.

After reading MacHale's Morpheus Road, I have been wanting to read this series. I loved DJ's writing and am sure I would enjoy this series. I will definitely look into at least the first one and see where it takes me.
Jan - I actually liked Pendragon much better than Morpheus Road (though I liked Morpheus Road OK), so you should definitely give it a try!
