Book 3 Reflection

I have read 2 books in the time for reading book 3. But the book that I want to zoom in on is Pendragon: The Rivers of Zadaa. This is the 8^th book in the series. This book has one of the best plots that I have ever seen. It is about Bobby Pendragon a 15 year old kid who just randomly gets called to be a traveler. When he does this his uncle explains to him what being a traveler is about which is the plot for most of the stories. Uncle Press tells him “Bobby I know this isn’t making any sense right now but juts let me explain. The travelers are a group of people that have to well, save the whole universe or Halla. Halla is everything bobby and if you let that man on the railroad who is really a killer demon take it, Things would not go well for earth and the universe. I am going to distract Saint Dane you need to go find a door with a star on it you will know it’s the right one when your ring starts to glow. I need you to open the door and yell Denduron then the flume will take you.”  So the plot is Bobby trying to save everything that is life from Saint Dane.

One of the main Characters in the book is Bobby Pendragon. He is the lead traveler and the bravest person in the book. “In one instant I had to decide whether it was worth it to jump and save Bokka or to let him be in orison with the guards. I didn’t sign up for this well hobey ho lets go”. That instant Bobby jumps down from a 50 ft. cliff into the water and hijacks the boat and saves Bokka life while risking his. Another Character that is in the book is Spader he is the traveler from that territory in the book and he is kind of hot tempered. “I swear Bobby the next time I see Saint Dane I am going to break every bone in his body.” As you can see Spader kind of goes off because Saint Dane had just killed his father but he has a reason it just shows how much of a hot head that he is. This novel shows that how everything is connected in life and how it all revolves around second earth. When the travelers lose a territory it affects earth and when they win it gets improved on.

The first territory that Bobby loses is Veelox and the whole story is in the quote. “Greetings Pendragon I am the traveler from the territory Veelox. You have been called here because of a pressing matter that needs to be resolved. There is a virtual reality world called Life light that lets you have whatever the mind pleases at that time. It’s an amazing program but the people are only starting to stay in life light and causing society to cripple. We need to shut it down but we need to get some other things out of the way. Before we can ever get close to shutting it down.”  Then Bobby eventually loses that territory and when he comes back on second earth. He sees on a billboard virtual reality life to be coming in 15 years.  So that really shows how everything is connected to Second Earth. One of the best parts of the story is how bobby writes back to his acolyte or traveler helper back his experiences.

Since Bobby just can’t tell people what happened he has to write back in journals. It’s in first person so it’s really neat how he describes all the situations that happen to him while writing. It should make the acolytes feel like they are actually with him to see if they can help in any way “The flume was spectacular the navy blue sky around me with so many stars in the sky and the walls were rocky like a crumbled piece of paper while I flew through on a green carpet trying to take in all of this” As a reader it makes you feel like you can picture what’s happening to him and like you are standing side by side. That was a really cool writing style for me and hopefully a lot of other readers. This book deserves 4 out of 5 stars. Only 4 because the writing style was amazing the characters really don’t know anything about them in the book but going through the traveler experience makes them take a look at themselves.
