May 12

May 12 is when a book comes out that I have been waiting for since January. It's called Pendragon Book 10: Soliers of Halla. It's the longest series I've ever read. This series is really confusing, well not really I'm just a bad explainer so I'm going to do my best.

They follow the chronicles of Bobby Pendragon, a teenager who discovers that he, as well as his two best friends, Mark Dimond and Courtney Chetwynde, must try to save the universe. Each book switches between the first-person perspective of Bobby's journals and third-person narratives of other prominent characters mostly Mark and Courtney. Bobby is a Travler and Mark and Courtney are his acoloytes through out the story.

A Traveler is an individual originating from one of ten territories (our Earth is one but its called Second Earth and thats where Bobby is from) who is chosen to try to save his or her territory when something goes wrong. They are the only ones who know of the existence of flumes other than their aides, who are called "acolytes". It is unknown how Travelers are chosen, and so far it has only been determined that they are born and raised for the purpose of saving the universe. Each Traveler trains and introduces their successor to his or her new life. When a person is told that they are a Traveler, all traces of that person's existence disappear, including families, except in the memories of those who knew that family or person. It is unknown as of yet where the families of travelers go, but the Travelers are reassured by their trainers that they remain alive. There is one Traveler from each territory; at the time when there are two Travelers, the previous Traveler will soon die. The previous Traveler, however, is allowed a certain amount of time in which to train the new Traveler in ways of judgment and responsibility.

And they all have powers too. I'll make a list of them:

• Power of persuasion;
• Hear all speech (and see all writing) as their own tongue, although words that describe things individual to one territory do not change (Omnilinguality);
• Recover from injuries that would kill any normal person;
• Heal another Traveler or bring them back to life through sheer force of will.
• Read the minds of those around them (although only Press Tilton, Osa, and Saint Dane have exercised this ability so far - It does speak of other travelers and sometimes even acolytes knowing exactly what Pendragon was thinking).

Well Bobby goes to territory to territory to stop Saint Dane, someone who wants the uninverse to become Chaos. And oh the universe in the books is called Halla. Everything, everyone, and everytime is Halla and I have no clue why its called that. I just have to wait to read the final book.

Oh and Saint Dane can shape shift into any animal or person. And I have no idea whats going with that.

Well the series is a great one and I love it. It takes your mind on a roller coaster and once you figured it out a new twist comes in and you are like WHAT!!!!!

And oh Hobey Ho is from this series too. I said it in my first blog. So till next time. Hobey Ho!
