The Lost City of Faar: Pendragon, Book 2

Came a day early, heck ya

Before I begin, let me say that I'm an adult (to give this review some context).I read "The Merchant of Death" (Pendragon #1) a couple of weeks before ordering this book. I enjoyed "Merchant". I thought it was inventive and unusual, and it certainly addresses issues that young adults face. I'm sure kids enjoy reading books where their peers are heroes.This book is even better. I say that for two reasons. The setting of the first book is quite grim. That was appropriate for the story it told, but it was kind of a downer, reading about those people being exploited. This book's setting is incredible - a world covered entirely by water where humans live on floating, barge-like habitats. I love water, and if I could somehow visit that world, I would do so in a heartbeat.The other reason I like this book better is that the new Traveler we meet is incredibly endearing. I like Loor. She's a great person to have at your side. However, the Traveler we meet in this story is very funny, and that makes this book a lighter read (in tone) than the first one. He's also flawed, though, which makes things interesting. I relate to him better than I relate to Loor. (Does she have a flaw? I don't think I've spotted it yet.)Overall, I recommend this book with a big smile on my face. It's a good ride, the characters are endearing, the setting incredible, the themes well developed, and it leaves you wanting more.See you at Grolo's! Last one there buys the Sniggers!

I'm reading this series because my son read them and enjoyed them so much, and wanted to be able to talk about it with someone. Though this series is written for young teens, anyone who enjoys a good adventure will appreciate it. Cynical adults like myself will often see where the next turn might lead, but that doesn't take away from the truly amazing adventure at hand. MacHale has created a world (or worlds, or Halla, or territory, or...) that has its own rules, making it easy to achieve the required "suspension of disbelief" needed to lose oneself in this saga. One book in the series is not enough - you must read them all. this review will act as my commentary on the entire series. A+!

I won't be able to put an in-depth review since I read the book a while back and am on book 7 right now so my head is swimming with information from all the books.The second book in the Pendragon series throws the reader back into the territories of Halla. As we last read, Bobby had gotten back to Second Earth to realize that his life there was over. When Loor and Press come to drive him away back to another territory, he once again leaves behind Courtney Chetwynde and Mark Dimond, the two who he had been sending the journals to.This book has an even more enthralling storyline as you meet yet another traveler, Spader, a young guy from a territory completely underwater. You grow to like him and his "people-person" attitude.This book continues to show Saint Dane's power, and just what happens in the beginning (I don't want to spoil anything, but it has to do with two floating cities) has a very eerie feeling to it.This is a must have, as it connects the characters further along in the book and helps make way for book three.

11 year old grandson loves this series and telephones to tell me all about each book as he finishes it. I buy him the next in the series as soon as he tells me he is near the end of the current one he is reading. I can’t understand why movies haven’t been made of this series like they did the Harry Potter books.

Wonderful Young Adult Series; It has fantastic writing that drags you in. I had the series as a teen and now I have gotten it for my teen!! Honestly one of my and her favorite series of all times

This book is a rip roaring ride if you ask me. The characterizations are great and the flow is wonderful for me. I think the people who don't like this series are too hard on it, not to mention the confusion of seeing someone say they loved the book, but they only gave it one star. What kind of sense does that make?

Oh this was a good second book to the series i mean the first book gets you started on the adventure Bobby Pendragon has started. The imagery in mind about the things described in this book almost made me wish it was true except for the sharks. Awesome second book i am currently on the 9th book and thought i should give this book a review. Just keep reading through the series all the books tend to line up nicely

Son loves too read this writers book.

The Pendragon series is a great children's/young-adult novel series. Perfect for children getting into longer books, as it lacks mature themes, but talks about serious matters and teaches many important lessons.

The front cover looks like the book is old/used. The rest of the book is fine just disappointed in the condition it arrived in.
