I can never pick just one book of the Pendragon Series that is my favorite but if someone asks me this one usually comes to mind first! In contrast from the primitive territory of denduron, The Lost City of Faar is based on the technologically advanced territory of Cloral a beautiful water world with dynamic characters and an exciting plot. The second book dragged me farther into the world of Bobby Pendragon and I couldn't wait to read the rest of the series!

A nice exciting all-guys-here kind of sci-fi/fantasy adventure story. These will never be my favourite books, but I can totally see why some people find them so appealing.

Okay, it's official. I am now fully hooked on the Pendragon series.
Bobby Pendragon, fourteen-year-old new and confused Traveler of space and time, is headed to his next territory. This time, it's Cloral, a water territory where dry land is unheard of and the people have discovered all kinds of cool ways to use and overcome their aquatic surroundings.
But Cloral is also at a tipping point, thanks to the evil Traveler Saint Dane, who seems to have a diabolical plan for destroying Cloral's peace and prosperity. Bobby will need the help of both his mysterious but dependable Uncle Press, and the energetic and charismatic Vo Spader, who is unaware that he is actually Cloral's own Traveler. And then there's the fact that the only way to stop Saint Dane may lie with a sunken city that is hardly more than a fairy-tale...
Cool gadgets, fun and engaging characters, and a image-rich world of water, this book is all the proof I needed that I'm going into a great series. Bobby has a fantastic first-person voice, and it's getting up there in my mind with Max and Percy Jackson from their titular series. Plus, more goes on back home on Second Earth with Mark and Courtney, and I'm looking forward to seeing them more in future novels. I am fluming full on into the next one!

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

OK. NOT OK. OK. This book is going to leave you crying and worried about Bobby Pendragon, the young Traveler, I think the review for this book is 3.7 (on the good side)because there are things that are not explained and therefore makes the reading confusing, I've read it in Spanish being my native language and in English with my brother and we are still wondering where the story takes place but even with that you can get to understant the main telling. All the elements are there and are good. The same characters with the introduction of some new ones. Overall, the book is enjoyable
OKAY. NO ESTÁ BIEN. OKAY. Este libro te va a dejar llorando y preocupado por Bobby Pendragon, el joven Viajero, creo que la reseña de este libro es de 3.7 (en el buen lado) porque hay cosas que no se explican y por lo tanto confunden la lectura, lo he leído en español siendo mi lengua materna y en inglés con mi hermano y todavía nos preguntamos dónde se desarrolla la historia, pero incluso con eso puedes llegar a entender la narración principal. Todos los elementos están ahí y son buenos. Los mismos personajes con la introducción de algunos nuevos. En general, el libro es agradable
