Commentary Toward Books The Rivers of Zadaa (Pendragon #6)
THE BATTLE CONTINUES.THE STRUGGLE OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL continues as Bobby Pendragon follows Saint Dane to the territory of Zadaa. Saint Dane's influence has fueled the fire of discontent between two warring tribes: the Rokador and the Batu. This is also the territory where the Traveler Loor lives as a member of the Batu. Together she and Bobby must work to thwart Saint Dane's efforts to destroy Zadaa.
But as Bobby pursues Saint Dane, he begins to notice changes in himself. He is no longer a flip kid looking for excitement. He is a young man beginning to see this quest as more than a series of adventures. He is also learning that as a Traveler, he has powers no normal human should have.

Wow! There is a LOT going on in this book, many suspenseful and mildly terrifying moments as well as action packed confrontations and races against time. There are also revelations! So many revelations that would completely spoil the plot line but they are so good, one in particular was almost out of left field - I say almost because this character keeps popping up back on Second Earth so you kinda knew something was going to be up with him. ;)Well played D.J. MacHale, well played; and so I
(reread in 2019)Great book! As I'm going into the territory of the later half of the books I don't remember as much. Which is a good thing. I remember a few things from the base plot. But I forgot the twist near the end and was happy to be surprised again. I'm glad I'm giving the series another go after 10 years.
This could be a more enjoyable series if I didn't find the main character so completely annoying! Any success he has mostly comes by luck, definitely not by skill, and he "shouts" everything he says (admittedly a writing problem). He's always wondering why he was chosen to be a "traveler" and much of the time I'm wondering the same thing! I'm intrigued by the premise behind the series, though. :-)
Better. I liked the action stuff they brought up in this. The day by day stuff was excellent. The other stuff... wasn't. Otherwise a good book. Read the prequels, though.
