For those of you who were not with us a week or so ago, I said that the Pendragon series by DJ MacHale was the best series in which the last book has not yet been published. Well, book nine out of ten came out today, and not only did I manage to get my hands on it, I finished it. First of all, it was amazing. The suspense, plot twists, action, emotion–amazing. But that was not the best part.
The end.
It was simply the best ending of a book I’ve ever read. I am a big reader. I’ve read classics, and hundreds of science fiction and fantasy novels . . . this ending blew them out the window, and scampering away for their lives. Unbelievable. But that’s not completely right. In the context of the “Pendragon World,” it was totally believable. Yet, you couldn’t see it coming, and it blew you away. It’s like pieces have finally come together after years. No, not “it’s like,” they have.
So now, let me give you one piece of advice: read these books.
First of all, they’re all great on their own level. Each one provides just what a fantasy/science fiction/fiction in general reader wants. They’re great books simply put.
But the ninth. The end of the ninth. It is truly worth reading the first eight just to read the end of the ninth.
So now, I leave you, hopefully newly enlightened.
Go.
Read.
It’s worth your time, believe me.
