4.25 Golden Stars
I love this book, but... I always felt the lack of something in here. I don't know what it is; the premise & everything is Great, but maybe after Cloral & all those water technology in that advanced territory, the lack of extraordinary stuff? maybe because it's more Historical than Fantasy? maybe I expected more?
so it's my least favourite in the series.
but still awesome, thrilling of chases & so much FUN, I was chocking on laughter. it's kind of unfair that I could've given it 5 stars (comparing to several of my 5 stars, this one is much better), but I can't convince myself to give my least favourite book in my ultimate favourite series 5-star, because I should have a way to show that.
I guess the best way to described it that each series has kind of a different plateau in my rating. (my complicated strict system, I know!)
things getting out of hand, explaining my rating policy!
back to this book review:
Bobby Pendragon is back home... kind of...
New York City, 1937, the vintage picture of Earth,
two Travelers (one slowly maturing, one hothead) plus one (the Wise)
living the history, among a bunch of gangsters.
so many things happening!
ignition of WWII in the background
the moment of revelation
such an unexpected twist which gives the heroes such a difficult time (& made me cry)
hanging in midair above New York city!
fantastic characters as always, new & old.
fun & sarcasm, like always, await us
I always loved how gently Pendragon matured. seeing sense, still making mistakes, but trying to learn his lessons.
& my intelligent Patrick's first appearance!
I loved how it ended, it was beautiful.
also in my 4th read, I noticed Bobby was actually the first main character who was a book lover (that I read of), like me! & the whole fanboy talking & pop cultures references are awesome. I guess that's another reason why I love him!
& for the first time, I finished it in only 1 day! just like book 1, a few years ago! yas! new record!
Bobby's so cute on this cover! -

Yeppers just as good as before. Loved reading about the Third Earth territory.. what a utopia!

What would you sacrifice for the greater good?
Bobby and Spader travel to the territory known as First Earth to defeat Saint Dane in his latest scheme.
-----
*screams obscenities* far better than I remember
AMAZING
What to know/ expect:
- a fast-paced adventure
- danger
- good characters and friend dynamics <3
- these books do have a repeating pattern (but there's comfort in repetition :P )
- early 1900 US history, specifically 1937 (one of my favorite points in history)
- Saint Dane is such a good villain. at least I think so *eyes everyone suspiciously* he scared me as a child and he still scares me now
- quotes to make you think. ex: "The future will always be here, it's the present we have to worry about."
- cool dudes
- gangsters (surprisingly they aren't exactly villains)
- some Nazis and swastikas (no durr, for this point in time)
- a glimpse into the future
- the most relatable book in the series, it's more historical than fantasy
- my favorite of the series,I hope you cry >:D
If this book is anything to go by, the Pendragon books are far more awesome than I remember. -
I think what I love most about this series is the different worlds. Every book, there's a completely new setting to lose yourself in, complete with a new cast of characters. But of course, sometimes the best ones from previous novels come along for the ride.
Bobby Pendragon now finds himself in a very familiar territory indeed; First Earth, his home planet in the 1930's. And he quickly discovers that the "tipping point" here has everything to do with time. Somewhere, someone, helped along by none other than Saint Dane, is going to set something in motion that may become the catalyst for an event that will change history: World War II. And in order to save First Earth, Bobby will have to unravel the web of the past, the present, and the future, as well as make one of the most difficult choices ever.
Accompanied by the complex, vengeful, charismatic Vo Spader from the previous novel, with the addition of First Earth's mellow and wise Traveler Gunny, Bobby has reached a personal tipping point of his own; the time when he will truly come to understand what it means to be a Traveler.
I loved that this book took place in our own past, with all the time-appropriate references. I honestly used Google a couple times just to see if some of the characters Bobby met in the past were based on real people! Reading Bobby's incredulous, wondering account of experiencing all the time-travel was very realistic and consistant with his unique narrative voice. And as usual, the cliffhanger leaves you just like Bobby's ever-loyal friends Mark and Courtney; waiting for his next journal and his next adventure in a new territory. -
کم کم داره از بابی پندراگن و ماجراهاش خوشم می‌آد. نسبت به دو جلد قبلی با این یکی ارتباط خیلی بهتری برقرار کردم و از خوندنش هم لذت بردم.
داستان اینبار توی دنیای خودمون می گذره فقط در سال ۱۹۳۷
خوبه دیگه ، خوش می گذره ، یه کتاب مفرح برای قبل از خوابه ، بیشتر هم نه -
3⭐️
So far my favorite one. I loved seing Bobby’s growth and questionings about his role as a traveller. He feels like a very real and raw protagonist which makes the story really enjoyable. -

There are many types of themes and issues that are happening in “pendragon” right now. Here they are: Friendship issues, War vs. peace, Good vs. evil, and a bunch more. The main one for me though is Friendship issues. The main character, Bobby, and his friend, Spader, are having friendship issues.
Spader is mad at an evil guy named St. Dane for killing his father. Spader goes wild with anger when he hears about or sees St. Dane. This doesn’t help Bobby stop St. Dane from destroying Halla (Everything basically). Spader wanted to go with Bobby on his next adventure, and Bobby made Spader promise that he would listen to him when he said something and to control his temper. Spader promised and he went ahead, but constantly broke that promise. In the end, Spader almost ended up destroying Halla by not listening to Bobby.
Bobby managed saving everything in the nick of time, but was mad at Spader for not listening to him. He tells Spader to go back to his home world, which is probably not the best for their friendship. -
My favorite book since it takes place on the First Earth(historic/past Earth). The bombing and Bobby dealing with the gangs makes it very enjoyable.
-
I really liked how well-rounded this one was. Different earths, different ways we could improve. However, there were a lot of continuity errors in this one save the main historical plot line.
-
اين آخرين جلد مجموعه بود كه خوندم.
به نظرم ايده ها و حتي اتفاق هاي جزئي تمام كليشه اومدند.
اميدوارم باعث پشيموني نشه اين نيمه رها كردن -
4.5!!

Bobby is growing up before our eyes. The formula for growth is through experience, learning and suffering. First Earth is a pretty boring territory but the dialogue between Bobby and Saint Dane at the end of this book is juicy. Yes, I’m still a nerd. #dontlosethewonder

Okay..uh.... didn't expect that. Well, first off, the ending is extremely dishearteneing. So is the middle, and the beginning, did I mention the end? Anyway, as usual, the characters were awesome and the setting was gripping and page-turning. The language is gradually getting better but it was definitly present. I hope the next book is a little better. The book is worth reading and had surprises around every corner, but a few cuss words were in there.

When I was younger this was the book in the Pendragon series that kind of lost me. Anything with time travel as a theme tends to lose me before long because it's rarely done well. Time travel is one of those concepts that you can't mull over too deeply without it falling apart in most cases, because you'll start to see and pick apart the paradoxes and issues with it. As such, I never finished this book when I was younger, and intentionally kissed this series goodbye for a while.
Returning to this years later and being willing to suspend my disbelief a little further than I was before, I would say that for the most part, the time travel in this book was done well. (Given the fact that time between territories tends to be relative for Travelers, maybe that has something to do with it. Or it could really just be that I made it a point not to think too hard about the consequences of time traveling and changing the course of history.) Either way, this book was more enjoyable to read this time around, and I am able to appreciate the turns the story took.
I've still got very mixed feelings about Bobby as our main character, but this book was needed, as it really forced him to mature in ways that he wouldn't have achieved otherwise if he hadn't faced the challenges that he did. I don't have much else to say beyond this, just know that the story holds up and has improved from the first two books, and I appreciated it. -
-- Reread 2016 --
This was never a favorite of mine, especially back when I originally read it simply because things like the mafia and gang wars combined with history don't usually interest me. But I feel like I enjoyed it a little bit more this time around and can appreciate how vital it is to the series as a whole.
I love Gunny, who is introduced in this book, and I like that this story keeps you guessing of who exactly Saint Dane is taking the form of to cause the tipping of the territory of First Earth into disaster. I also very much enjoyed the glimpse we get of Third Earth and that it shows just how poignant one moment in history can be in affecting the future. -
This is a unique Pendragon book: It takes place on Earth. Even more unique: In the 1930's. I don't want to spoil anything, but Machale did an amazing job with this book, piecing it together and making it sound realistic. I really enjoyed it.

I remember liking this book as a kid for the historical aspect, and it was definitely still there! You sort of think there might be a pattern to this MG series but this one shook that up a lot. Very easy to read and enjoyable for what it was.

***4.5

Definitely going to continue flying through these books, this one was so fascinating. Seeing a possible singular event end up creating a domino effect was interesting for sure.
I love all the stuff that the author comes up with, he's got an incredible imagination and I love how each one is revealing more and more stuff and also creating more and more questions.
I cannot wait to get back to my boyfriend's house so I can get the next book, I'm so stoked. -
The reason for my obsession of the Hindenburg explosion in 5th grade.
-
This is probably my favourite book in this series. It deals a lot with how choices can influence the future, and how a single choice can have very far reaching consequences, even if that choice seems to be right at the time.

The third book in the Pendragon series departs from the first two in a couple of ways. First, the entire plot takes place on Earth - though it’s Earth in three different time periods. And second Bobby’s story is presented almost entirely without interruption. There’s one quick chapter from Mark and Courtney’s point of view early on that seems to serve mostly to remind us that they exist, but otherwise the plot is focused entirely on Bobby until the very end.
It’s an interesting change and I can’t help wondering why DJ McHale did it this way. I will admit that my memories of the Mark and Courtney segments are pretty fuzzy from when I read the novels the first time around. Having a layer of story between the main story and the reader is a conceit I enjoy, but it’s most exciting when the middle layer and innermost layer of fiction interact or even merge. Thus far in the series Mark and Courtney have served mostly to react to Bobby’s adventures, and for whatever reason they end up waiting to do so until the whole story is over. It’s odd because I feel like they could have interesting commentary at certain points, and I hope that in the next book they’re given more to do. It does feel a bit like the author wasn’t quite sure what to do with the gimmick but couldn’t abandon it.
Fortunately the main plot is fairly engaging. It’s rather like Pendragon’s equivalent of a Doctor Who historical story, although the only inhuman monster here is Saint Dane. But First Earth turns out to be 1937, so there’s plenty of mobsters and Nazis running around. I’m a little torn on Bobby’s lack of knowledge of history. It does help move the plot along and it mirrors the level of historical knowledge the average reader in the target audience probably has, but I feel like a kid like Bobby would be more interested in World War II and the time leading up to it.
Then again, maybe it’s for the best because as an adult I still like the general historical setting but feel like the alternate universe at the crux of the plot doesn’t quite work. This time the threat centers around changing who wins World War II, and it’s eventually discovered that the upcoming arrival of the Hindenburg is the fulcrum of all three Earth territories. Which is neat, but the actual scenario is that the zeppelin carries treasure that will fund a mobster in league with the Nazis and eventually lead to them building the bomb first and winning the war. I kinda take issue with this, because it’s not like needing the plans was the only thing that would give the Nazis the bomb, and with the way it’s said explicitly that they nuke London, DC, and New York, I feel like as usual the American author is overlooking the role of the USSR in the war.
But one can argue that this is a book series for kids, and the image of a nuked Statue of Liberty used as hovels by the irradiated descendants of New Yorkers is still a pretty good one, even if Planet of the Apes did it better. Plus the whole thing does get us the kid friendly equivalent of “is it morally okay to go back in time and murder young Hitler”.
I do enjoy that the First Earth Traveler is a black man and a veteran of the First World War, and there’s also a woman pilot as a major character which is cool. For all that I quibble with the what-if scenario I appreciate that the book shows the ways life was different in the 30s. It’s always fun seeing a modern character suddenly realize they lack a lot of conveniences and while Bobby himself slots in pretty easily as a generic white guy, I appreciate the story addressing the discrimination and realities of the past.
We also take a jaunt three thousand years into the future to visit the utopian Third Earth. It’s a nice enough place, though again I have some quibbles. Humanity has realized they’ve been using resources too much and too fast, and much of the surface has been returned to nature as we move underground and out into the solar system. But we still have capitalism in the future, and even the Gap - which probably makes the original target audience feel good, but seems kinda strange to me now. It is also kinda funny that Bobby and Gunny have to travel three thousand years in the future to basically hit up Wikipedia. I feel like Third Earth kinda suffers for being a generic sci-fi utopia with little that makes it actually stand out.
Still, for all my issues on rereading this as a grown up, it’s a pretty good story. I do still love the twist that if Bobby had sat around and done nothing, Saint Dane would be defeated. And Bobby definitely gets a chance to grow and learn about himself in this one. I’m not sure it’s really my favorite part of the series but it’s one of the ones that’s always stuck with me more than others, and I imagine if you’ve stuck with the series through here it does a good job on selling you on sticking around for the long haul. Which is what I’m going to do, though first I’m detouring to one of the three Before the War prequels which I never read as a kid. So we’ll see if those add anything or are as skippable as a lot of prequel stories. -
یکی از بزرگ‌ترین خلأهای این مجموعه در همین جلد مشخص می‌شود. هیچ magic system خاصی ندارد و با آمیختن سای‌فای، مثلا قصد نوشتن یک اثر چندجانبه را داشته. اما موفق نبوده است.

*2021 Reread*
Ok when I shelved this book on here I initially had given it 3 stars based on the last time I read it (I hadn't reread this one in years!) but now I changed my mind, it's FIVE STARS yall. I love it idk why it bored me the first time around. I think it was the lack of Mark and Courtney but nah it's AMAZING, perfect—ok not really but it's close and full of adventure and action and drama and angst and suspense and Bobby was so funny and Spader was great, I have newfound respect for him. Yeah, there are some dated ideas which is funny bc the book ends up being very sci-fi but also very dated lol but overall I had a lot of fun (re)reading it and I ended up appreciating this book a lot more now than when I originally read it. Maybe it's nostalgia talking or maybe I just didn't have the maturity? I think to appreciate the historical setting (stuff about yesteryear really bored me when I was 13 haha) and the charged story and stuff idk but I love this book now. -
Ok, I'll shut up about the Doctor Who mash up thing, but this one kinda reminded me a little of Bioshock infinity.
