Amazing!

This whole experience has been wonderful and fantastic! I'm sad that there is only one book left in the series! But the performance by William Dufris is utterly amazing and entertaining!

Great book!

Great story overall! I really like the pendragon series. The reason I rated it 3 stars for story is because in a few of these last books it seems that there is lots of holes in the plot line and some of it is to obvious to ignore, it effects the entertainment value of the story for me. But overall a great book series.

Whiny and braindead characters

Narrator manages to keep everyone whining, and the writer manages to continue to keep the protagonists so braindead they are literally useless. After going through the same scenario multiple times, the protagonist keeps making same dumb choices, with zero character progression.

Another great book in the series

I remember reading these books as a kid and they were amazing but the narrator does a phenomenal job of bringing the story to life. Makes it sound like a book made for audible.

.decent

wasn't bad didn't really like the voice of the guy reading but the story is really good

So good. FINALLY ONTO THE LAST ONE!

100/100
This book series is amazing. I've been listening to it for a long time and now I'm finally going on to the last book.

love it

narrator is amazing, books are awesome and I don't know what I'll do after the last book!

Horrifying

Would you try another book from D. J. MacHale and/or William Dufris?

no

What could D. J. MacHale have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Let something good happen to Bobby and keep it a little more realistic.

Which character ??? as performed by William Dufris ??? was your favorite?

Bobby

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Raven Rise?

I would have started the book over. Book 9 had such a bad ending.

Any additional comments?

The first 8 books of this series were excellent. However, book 9 had some far out twists and book 10, I was unable to finish.

It's just like all the other Pendragon books.

My son (age 11) likes these books, so I keep getting them. If it were up to me, I would have stopped somewhere around Book 4. The premise is interesting enough, but the main character spends too much time navel-gazing ("Why must I be the one to save the world? I wish I had a normal life!") and there's too much armchair philosophy about free will vs. predestination ("Should I kill this bad guy? Is this how it was meant to be? But perhaps I should not kill him-- maybe *that's* how it was meant to be!" etc.) And no matter how much it seems like the good guys have finally won, the bad guy always comes back at the end and says "Aha! You've played right into my hands! I wanted to you to do exactly what you did! Now I will destroy the universe!" It's just really boring after a while. Plus, the narrator overacts. His voice is just twisting with anguish all the time, and he always sounds like he's about to cry. I'm so glad we only have one book to go before we're done with this series.
