I actually have mixed feelings about this book. It's full of adventure & very detailed... But I just wasn't excited to read it like I was in the first book.

Don't get me wrong, I'm going to continue to read the series but I don't think I'll be reaching for the 3rd book anytime soon

*SPOILER ALERT*

I was very upset that Uncle Press had to die. He is the character that I felt held the story together. I'm not sure how the author is going to go on without this character, i...more

I really, really enjoyed this book. In many ways more so than the first. Bobby is much more mature than he is in the first adventure and he seems to have accepted that he is a Traveler and "that is the way things are meant to be." The story was very well-paced, and I was actually bummed when the writer went back to discuss how things were going on Second Earth. I will say this though...I hate Andy Mitchell.

The book is called Pendragon Book Two:The lost city of Faar, I have already read the first book of series, which is called The Merchant of Death.It`s about a fourteen-year old boy named Bobby Pendragon who went with Uncle Press to help some people in Denduron and Saint Dane can shape shift to anything,who is evil and almost killed Bobby and Press.But that night his friend Mark got visited by a strange woman that she gave Mark a ring and the four journals and she said that it was from Bobby.So when he started reading it, he`s reading about Bobby`s adventure and what`s going on.The next day,he told courtney aboutit,so they`ll keep on reading more Journals that Bobby sent by the teleportation of the ring that Mark`s wearing.At the end of the first book,when Bobby returned home,his house isn`t there anymore, not his family either.Uncle Press told him to move on because Bobby is a Traveler, also his uncle, and Loor,Osa`s daughter which in case she died while she`s trying to protect Bobby in Denduron.Bobby will keep writing every four journals in each book of series that I`m reading to his friends,Mark and Courtney on what`s going on to him and anything.They waited weeks or months that Mark and Courtney need the journals from him so they started reading the fifth journal that Bobby just sent.So the second book that I`m reading is that Bobby, and Uncle Press went to Cloral to find Saint Dane, the evil guy that he`s trying to destroy Bobby back in the first book. While they were there,Bobby met Spader in Cloral,Uncle Press`s friend that they`ve been in a long time.Spader learned that he`s a Traveler after his father`s death.On second earth, Mark was tired of Andy bullying him and telling him to bring the Journals because he found out during school night and lying to Courtney.At the end, when Bobby saw his uncle`s death while trying to save Spader from Saint Dane which in case went to Veelox and they went there,that is my at least favorite part of the book when Uncle Press died.My recommendation for this book is to read it because it`s full of adventure,fantasy,action,snappy dialogue and cool.This book is full of journals that Bobby wrote for his friends and he shares this for us to read from him.So my opinion for this book is awsome because I`m reading the series of Pendragon.This book review is for teenagers to read that wants to read this series or have already read this,but for those who didn`t read it then I recommend you read this book of series that I`m reading.(less)

Here is how the book summary goes like:

Fourteen-year-old Bobby Pendragon is not like other boys his age. His uncle Press is a Traveler, and, as Bobby has learned, that means Uncle Press is responsible, through his journeys, for solving interdimensional conflict wherever he encounters it. His mission is nothing less than to save the universe from ultimate evil. And he’s taking Bobby along for the ride. Fresh from his first adventure on Denduron, Bobby finds himself in the territory of Cloral, a vast world that is entirely covered by water. Cloral is nearing a disaster of huge proportions. Reading the journals Bobby sends home, his friends learn that the desperate citizens of the endangered floating cities are on the brink of war. Can Bobby—suburban basketball star and all-around nice guy—help rid the area of marauders, and locate the legendary lost land of Faar, which may hold the key to Cloral’s survival?

I liked the idea of this book and the series overall a lot (even if I was disappointed with the series as a whole when I found out that Pendragon had nothing to do with King Arthur – come on I really wanna know about him!), although I would love to live on Cloral. MacHale does a pretty good job of balancing description of the world (excuse me please – territory) with things actually happening, and he doesn't give us any more information than he does Bobby, which really gives the reader a chance to empathize with Bobby's confusion.

So in this second adventure in the Pendragon Quartet, readers find 14-year-old Bobby Pendragon traveling through the "flume" to Cloral with his Uncle Press, in pursuit of Saint Dane. This water world with a vague Australian/Atlantis air will likely intrigue fans who enjoyed the aquatic world of Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and the teamwork escape aspect of Journey to the Center of the Earth. Bobby is still uncertain about what happened to his family after he was recruited as a "Traveler," a heroic role that first pitted him against the shape-changing monster, Saint Dane, in the series' debut, The Merchant of Death. It's a radically different life from that of junior high student in Stony Brook, Conn., where his friends Mark and Courtney eagerly await the journals in which he updates them with the latest events from various colorful "Territories."

In the territory of Cloral, beneath the waves, Bobby meets Spader, who is also a Traveler, and quickly becomes his first mate. Unbeknownst to Spader, his submerged city is partially responsible for the peace felt above the surface in the floating habitats. When Saint Dane decides to annihilate Faar, Bobby and his Traveler buddies must race to outwit the villain. MacHale embellishes his science fiction with just enough silly touches to leaven the mood; for instance, when the magic ring that Bobby gave Mark twitches (which means it's about to "deliver" Bobby's journals), it expands so that Mark must remove it, and the glowing stone transforms into a "black hole," spewing musical notes and light.

Bobby Pendragon begins to accept his role as a traveler and is forced to become a mentor as well. The traveler role becomes clearer in this book, and Cloral is a very interesting world with all of its high-tech water-based technology. MacHale keeps the series interesting by continuing to surpass his creativity with each new world that Bobby and the travelers encounter while trying to foil Saint Dane's plans to destroy Halla(The Universe). I also liked the newer element of time travel that relates to a realm we all understand--Second Earth(Earth).

When I read the first Pendragon book I was a little confused, trying to figure out whether or not I liked it for all the reasons I had mentioned in the first paragraph. But I decided to give this series another chance. And I am glad I did! This book is better then the first one. The authors writing has improved greatly and the story is more engaging and interesting. Though the Journal style of writing is still unsettling as well as the pacing of the plot lines and the obvious lack of information about the background details but I really enjoyed reading about the fascinating and fantastical world of Cloral, as well as the introduction of the character Spader.

Although the one thing that is unsettling is that Mr. MacHale is going to haul all the answers to our questions about the travelers and Saint Dane in the final book...yes before starting this book I had actually read a little bit more about the series and i found this little bit of detail.

But so far so good. So moving on next up is "The Never War", which will feature First Earth, circa 1937 and a little glimpse of Third Earth as well.(less)

MacHale does a pretty good job of balancing description of the world (excuse me – territory) with things actually happening, and he doesn't give us any more information than he does Bobby, which really gives the reader a chance to empathize with Bobby's confusion.

That said, the main story just didn't hold my attention. It wasn't bad, necessarily, and I did enjoy it overall, but I got bored if I tried reading more than a couple of chapters at once. I thought the Mark and Courtney plot was much better done, and a lot more interesting, though I had problems with it too – see below. I think one of the reasons I got bored was that MacHale really prefers to tell than show. I can understand it; telling is easier, and I know that when I write, I have the same problem. But it does get boring to read.

He also skips some scenes that I think really should be included, passing over them in a couple of sentences instead. I really didn't care about Spader, because almost the entire friendship between him and Bobby was reduced to a couple of pages. Bobby keeps saying how much fun they had together and how awesome Spader is, but the reader doesn't get to see that. We just see Spader being a loose cannon after his father is killed. Granted, being totally focused on vengeance in that situation is reasonable, but it's not the kind of thing that endears a character to me.

Another thing that was skipped – and my major problem with the Mark and Courtney plotline – is the scene when Mark told Courtney about the whole problem with Andy. It was skipped to give the plotline a bit of suspense to fit with Bobby's situation. In my opinion, it comes out looking cheap and forced. It's third person limited. We're supposed to be inside Mark's head. Why was he flipping out so much about going to the police station and whether Courtney wanted to punch him if they had planned for it? This set-up works for the first read-through; on later ones, I just want to reach through the pages and shake Mark.

Minor/borderline petty complaints: Can someone tell me if girls actually are allowed to play on the boys' team when there is a girls' team for the same sport? Because if it actually happens in real life, I'll withdraw my objection, but as it stands, it is uncomfortably close to the "a credit to your sex" line of thinking, and I really wish MacHale would quite mentioning it.

And finally, every time they mention that Mark and Courtney live in Stony Brook, Conneticut, I giggle and can't take the next couple of pages seriously because the Baby-Sitters Club was from Stoneybrook, Conneticut, which is just a little too close for my brain.(less)

Great pre-teen to teen series. I wouldn't be surprised if the author was Mormon. It's about this kid who's Uncle is a traveler and takes him to another world to save it from the St. Dane who is hell bent on making war on each of the planets. Each book takes place on a different planet. It's very fun and entertaining. All about sticking to your values to achieve good.

The Book, “Pendragon The Lost City Of Faar”, by D.J MachHale is a very good sequel(this is a series called Pendragon. This is the second the First is “Pendragon The Merchant Of Death”) to the first, it adds a hole new Dimension for Bobby to explore, as well as learn about being a traveler. This time around Bobby finds himself in a new world(also know as territory) called Coral, a world where there is no land just 100% water.(of course at the bottom of the ocean there is land)Bobby learns that they make everything from the water, and to his surprise they are very very! technically advanced compared to us, it is quite amazing. Anyways Bobby is there because of Saint Dane, who is the main antagonist of the series(so far at least), Saint Dane wants to destroy every territory so he can rule them all. Usually he does not do this in a obvious way, he wait for some crisis then elevates it to the point of possible Armageddon for that territory.
The sequel to The Merchant of death... is better! After reading the first I would never thought that it could be better(realistically but of course I wanted it to be better.) Yes Finally the sequel is better than the first, I loved the first but I really , really love this one. I think D.J MachHale creates a world in which everyone wishes' that they were there, Coral it self is just quite amazing with all of the cool technology just based off water! The characters themselves(this time around a new traveler!) make me believe that they are real people, this is because the author gives them real personality, they show emotion: fear,love,anger and bravery , and that is what what makes us human! Now there is one problem that I had with the book and it was that the plot seemed the same, they had to stop Saint Dane(bad guy) just like the first, though it is exciting I fear it might become like A Series of Unfortunate Events(repeats it self 13 books!!!!!!!!) where for each book all they have to do is stop Saint Dane. I just hope that is not true and the author will come out with more exciting plot lines, only time will tell is all there is to say.
In my opinion I think that Pendragon The Lost City Of Faar should be rated a 4 out of 5. The story is good, the characters are good, the detail is good, not too much detail and not no detail, just enough. Although I love this book it depends on what the reader she or he likes, if they do not love fantasy or science fiction DO NOT pick up this book. Because this book has it all time and space travel, and monsters!! This is everything from humor to romance and I love it and so will many people. I think that this book is for both ages but it should definitely be for teenagers not younger kids, and possible adults if they choose to reader teen fiction. Overall TLCOF is so good that I couldn’t imagine reading the first and skipping this one, also you must read the first one first!! I hope you enjoy reading this amazing title!!

Sounds like a fun place, right? It is until Saint Dane shows up. Where ever he goes, trouble follows.
Bobby Pendragon and Uncle Press are travelers from 2nd Earth. Vo Spader is the traveler from Cloral. They save the territories from an evil traveler named Saint Dane. Saint Dane wants to throw Halla into chaos. Halla is everything, everyone and every time that ever existed. There are 10 territories in Halla. Denduron was the first territory that Bobby and Uncle Press saved. From there, Saint Dane went to Cloral. Bobby, Uncle Press and Spader are trying to save Cloral from destruction.
Bobby is on another mission. Saint Dane has come to the water territory of Cloral. At first it seems like nothing is wrong until Bobby, Uncle Press and Vo Spader find Spader’s father dead. He was poisoned. He ate something that had a new fertilizer on it. Something happened to the fertilizer and it turned into poison. The fertilizer was sent all over Cloral. Spader’s dad left Spader a map to The Lost City of Faar. It might be the only hope to save Cloral. The Lost City of Faar was lost until Spader’s dad found it. Is the cure to the poisoned fertilizer in The Lost City of Faar or is a wild fish tale? Can Bobby, Spader and Uncle Press save Cloral or will Saint Dane have his first territory?
I loved this book. I loved the first book in the series, The Merchant of Death. Cloral is my favorite territory so far. I love the water and swimming. I would recommend this book to anyone who liked the first book in the series or likes adventure. It’s packed with action, adventure and excitement. I couldn’t put it down!
I don’t want to spoil the end for you but, let’s just say that it’s a tragedy. When I was reading it, I almost started to cry. It is so sad. I just thought that I had better warn you. It really is a good book though. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. Always remember: Good will beat evil no matter what.
