Few series have the courage to change genres every book. Few dare to have giant cat people keeping humans as slaves. Few have the balls to be read by an angry children’s magician. Pendragon does all this and more.
Black Water by DJ MacHale is the 5th book in the Pendragon series, which follows a couple incompetent children as they bounce around the multiverse fighting a non-specific evil to a draw. It’s weird. Sure, we didn’t read the first 4, but my guess is it still wouldn’t make much sense.
Thanks to Brennan for sponsoring. You can get Brennan’s book Operation Sunroof as a Nook Book.
DJ DJ Tanner is in fact a real DJ http://djdjtanner.bandcamp.comI must say that there is something very alluring about starting a gigantic book series halfway through. That feeling of being lost in a hopelessly dense fantasy world is just a whole lotta fun for some reason.It’s that feeling you get when you page through to the end of a high level maths textbook on Multivariate Calculus or something. You have no idea what any of it means, but the fact that some people understand it well enough to write a book on it and learn it is just a weirdly gratifying feeling.Sometimes at the bookstore I’ll just pick up, say, book 7 in Robert Jordan’s “The Wheel of Time” and Flip to page 253 and read a few pages, just for the feeling of being completely and utterly lost.
