The End is Near?

This is perhaps the best book of the series. The last book, The Quillan Games, was good but then got rushed and confusing at the end (to me). But The Pilgrims of Rayne did a great job of straightening out after the bump in the road. The best part to me was that when it switched back and forth to Courtney and Bobby, there was action on both sides. The past books have had some good but few GREAT instances of action from Courtney and Mark. But this book has great action on both sides. If you have been reading up to this book, you probably don't need me to tell you to read this book. This book is full of plot twists and unexpected surprises that I couldn't put the book down. Now, leaving off in a semi-cliffhanger, I can not wait until the next book. Great edition to the Pendragon series.

Great!

Bobby and Courtney were headed to Third Earth last time we left them. How Courtney makes it to First Earth and Bobby to Ibara, I'm not going to tell you, but what I will say is that they each have the wildest ride they've ever had. Pilgrims doesn't let down and is as strong as the previous books. It is definitely setting us up for an even bigger grand finale. I'll warn you, the ending of this book is sure to surprise and you'll prbly want to send an e-mail off to DJ immediately asking him why the heck he stopped where he did. I know I sure wanted to! If you've been with Bobby since the first print of Merchant of Death or if you just caught up with his adventures, you'll want to read this book. Don't stop here. The Pendragon series is getting better and better.

Pilgrims of Rayne

I thought this was one of the best Pendragon books yet! There was so much action and great plot twists. I just wish he would hurry up and finish the next one because that was a huge cliffhanger at the end.
