Review: The Lost City of Faar (Pendragon #2)

Book 2: The Lost City of Faar

*Spoilers

After the adventure on Denduron, Bobby now learns that Saint Dane has moved on to another territory. Yet again, he is whisked away with Uncle Press. This time, it is to the beautiful, watery world of Cloral. We have a new traveler to meet, a new place to explore, and many new adventures to read about.

Bobby is still trying to figure all this out... and is still hoping that soon, he'll be able to go home to his family.  While he quickly falls in love with Cloral, makes friends with Vo Spader - Cloral's traveller - and spends time on the territory learning how it runs, Press and him know that there are here for one reason: Saint Dane is up to something.  Press, Bobby and Spader need to learn his plan, figure out a counter plan, and do it all before Saint Dane wins. 

because if Saint Dane wins, that's the beginning of the end. 

This is my favourite territory! The traveler from Cloral is the fandom hottie, and the way MacHale describes the territory is paradise (minus the sharks!).  Mark and Courtney continue to care for Bobby’s journals, and make a pact to be ready for when, and if, Bobby ever needs their help.  The bonds of friendship are strong in this one, and you get the feeling that they will only continue to grow.  Helpful hint, make sure some kleenex is close by for this one. 

Hobbey ho!
