Pendragon: Black Water
D.J MacHale
p.1-p.145

rating: N/A
This is the 5th book in the amazing Pendragon series, a series about a group of people called "travelers" who travel through the 10 "territories," one of them being earth, who try to stop an evil traveler named Saint Dane who tries to wreak havoc in the territories. Through the series they learn more about themselves and why they were chosen for the task of protecting the universe. This book is about Pendragon, the lead traveler from earth, traveling to the world of Eelong to stop Saint Dane from destroying it. There's one catch, Eelong is filled with giant cats who are the " humans" the civilization, and humans, which are known as "gars," are the pets and stupid animals.
The one thing I like is all the thought that MacHale puts into creating this entirely new world. There are so many little details that go into creating the jungle world of Eelong and making it sound believable. Of course, it's nothing like the brilliant world of Harry Potter, but Pendragon is pretty good at it. The characters are pretty cool too, but some of them are pretty repetitive. For example, the traveler from Eelong, Kasha, is reluctant to accept her role and is uncooperative for the first half of the book, which happens to the traveler Pendragon has to work with in about half the books. Other than that, this book moves along pretty well so far and I look forward to re-reading the rest of it.
