This is it. The huge wrap up to a storyline running for 9 books! It was great to learn the truth about Halla and the Travelers and the truth behind it was much more spiritual than I thought. However, it worked really well for me.

massive assault on Saint Dane which had everyone territory hopping in search of salvation - and coming face to face with old friends. Lots going on, lots of action, and at least this time around a solid explanation was given as to why they couldn't go back to First or Second Earths and change things and why the ultimate battle had to be on Third Earth.In the end, after that last journal was written... a final chapter which gives us a happy reward and still leaves us with questions about everyone else - yet in my mind I could see their paths just as well as Bobby's.

You know what makes a great book? Authors who aren't afraid to get dirty; authors who don't hold back on tragedy. This is especially true in adventure books -- if your characters are frequently put in dangerous situations, bad things should happen. Yes, maybe they're able to get out of those bad
I am very satisfied with the conclusion of this series. All the characters showed tremendous growth and the final battle was pretty awesome. MacHale did some careful planning with this series, because I noticed things that tied back to clues given in previous books, which was fun. This is the point I was waiting for throughout the entire series, and like I said, MacHale doesn't hold back. The stakes are high and it gets dangerous for Bobby and his friends.
The only thing I didn't like was the explanation of what makes them all Travelers and how the gates were formed. I know it's a fantasy/science fiction novel, but it was just a little too far-fetched for me. I'm not going to go into detail due to spoilers, I'll just say that I think there could be far better explanations to the one MacHale chose.
However, this was a satisfying ending. It got kind of shaky for me around book 6 (The Rivers of Zadaa), but I continued with it because I was invested in the characters by that point. Around book 8 (The Pilgrims of Rayne), I was feeling it again, and now I'm glad I stuck with it. Soldiers of Halla is a great book full of excitement, danger, adventure, friendship, and everything that I love about the Pendragon series. Honestly, I think it's the best book of the series because the stakes are raised so high and the characters really have to struggle.
I recommend this entire series to lovers of young adult adventure/fantasy. They're imaginative, exciting books that don't disappoint.

Satisfying end to the Pendragon series.

I've been following the Pendragon series from the start- it has been one of my favorite series since i was a kid. Each novel has supplied wonderful mystery and action to the overall series. I actually saw D.J. on the very first day the book came out, for my local book store was his first tour stop.

He is extremely nice and very creative- it is no shock such a well developed series was his workings. The final novel is probably one of the best books i have read, and definitely the best of the series. Questions are answered, fights are lost and won, and punches are not pulled. It is a fantastic adventure novel that delves in moral standpoints on elitism. If i could re-live this adventure, i surely would, for it has been an amazing ride. Show Less

I'm so happy I finally got my hands on this book! It was a great ending to the series, predictable sometimes, where I'm thinking "really Bobby? You didn't figure it out until just now?? " but all in all Mr. MacHale did a wonderful job.

This was the final book in the Pendragon series and MacHale did a very good job finishing the tale. I can't think of a moment that I wasn't glued to the story! Just when I thought things might start getting comfortable, there's another wrinkle or twist.
There were some very powerful scenes and it

was hard not get caught up in everything. After following these characters for the last nine books or so, I've really gotten attached to them. Some of their antics are amusing and some of their trials are heart-wrenching. All in all, this was a very good finale for a very good series! Show Less
