Pendragon Series, by DJ MacHale

so woo this is my second blog post today im on a roollll jk i probably wont finish this by today cuz i have like 6 minutes and i havent read these books in yeaaarrss but theyre such amazing books i love them so much its a series of 10 books:

1. The Merchant of Death
2. The Lost City of Faar
3. The Never War
4. The Reality Bug
5. Black Water
6. Rivers of Zadaa
7. Quillan Games
8. Pilgrims of Rayne
9. Raven Rise
10. The Soldiers of Halla

and basically theres like 10 worlds or something like that and each world is connected by portals but most people on earth dont know about other worlds but other worlds know about other worlds and bobby pendragon is supposed to prevent this one guy Saint Dane who actually wants to like collapse all the portals to combine all the worlds but that would kill a bunch of people and be really bad for things so each book is essentially him in one world trying to catch saint dane and eventually his friends mark and courtney get involved (spoiler alert: courtney is more than just a friend hint hint nudge nudge) and yeah so thats basically the whole summary and since its been so long since ive read them i dont remember the individual plot lines but thats kind of the whole story and theyre realllyyy good books and theyre so well written and super original and the characters develop really well by the end but i do remember wishing that they had resolved the books a little better i dont really remember why??? im sorry this is a bad post and again is doesnt do these books justice but its okay cuz theyre sooooo gooooooooooooooood asdfghjkl but i didnt even ship bobby and courtney that hard but idk maybe it was because i was kind of younger when i read the books and i didnt ship things that aggressively but idk it wasnt that feelsy but a good thing was there was nooooo love triangle!! i was so happy.

*side note on love triangles: they are the most overdone things in the world and right now i am so absolutely sick of them i am willing to read anything as long as theres no love triangle. not that im hating on the books that do have love triangles but most of the time books would be 28347023 times better if they didnt have them bc seriously like almost every book i read has one and its ssooo hard to find books that dont and honestly theyre just annoying and most of the time you end up hating all three people but most of all the girl/boy who cant choose between the two and it doesnt matter how well written or original or amazing a series is a love triangle will rarely ever not annoy me and most of the time they dont even give you feels and if they do its terrible because they just wont get together and sometimes she chooses the wrong guy and even if she doesnt end up with him in the end its still really annoying and i hate it a lot and i especially hate it when they leave one character alone because as much as the characters annoy me i still want them to be happy and if two of them get a happy ending then why cant all of them or at least have the decency to kill them or make them not into girls/boys so theres no problem there but when theyre just left heartbroken it kills me because no one deserves that and love triangles get a lot less annoying when the author brings in a character number 4 so that it becomes like a square but then it works out in the end and its happy and not cliche and nice but still not as nice as it would be if there hadnt been a love triangle to begin with and right now im reading this book called graceling which according to maryam doesnt have a love triangle and i was so desperate i didnt even wait for it at the library i bought it on my kindle and im on like chapter 3 (im sorry ive been studying for the AP too okay) and so far there has been a love interest introduced but only onneee and i know its too soon to tell but i trust maryam (mostly) so im excited and yeah this was really long side note but whatever



so anyway theres not too many characters in these books that are present for the whole series bc every book is in a different world and the people that bobby meets dont often travel with him so i cant really pick a character without re reading the whole series which i might do this summer when i go to india and get really bored but anyway so heres all the covers:
