While visiting so many schools and bookstores, many of the same questions pop up. One of them is about what my favorite Pendragon book is. Since it’s been asked so many times, I thought I’d answer that here.
Looking at it one way, I don’t have a favorite because they all seem like different chapters in one big story. But I can come up with a few that stand out for different reasons. The book that was the most fun to write was “The Never War” because I loved going back into real history and doing the research about a time and place that fascinate me. The book that was the most difficult to write was “The Quillan Games”. Coming up with all of those wild games, creating the rules, and then having Bobby play them was grueling. I certainly don’t have a LEAST favorite book, though I can say that my least favorite cover was the one I call: “Bobby the Blue-Eyed Reindeer”. Yeesh.
But favorite book? Now that they’re all complete and I can look back on the whole story, I guess maybe there is one that stands out. I think I like it because it had a little bit of all the books in it and it tied up the whole story in a way that I had always planned on, but was never sure that it would actually work. The fact that it did work is very satisfying. There were a few scenes in that book (I won’t mention them here because I don’t want to write spoilers) that actually get me choked up. More than a few scenes. It was an incredibly rewarding experience to tie together all the loose ends, answer all the questions, and complete an epic story. So under pressure, I would have to say that my favorite Pendragon book is The Soldiers of Halla.
Bailey says:
Definitely The Soldiers Of Halla. I swear, I cried at the end. I just don’t like it when my favorite series ends. This is seriously my all time fave series!!!
Bailey says:
Oh, and i think it’s the fastest I’ve finished a loong series before
In the middle of this fantastic series, i read The first Morpheus Road (My mom couldn’t find the others) Can’t wait to start the next book in that series!! 
So excited.
Gunny says:
Probably the fifth book, Black Water. But all of them were awesome. Morpheus Road is kinda creepy but i cant wait for the last one to come out! When I’m doing nothing I bring out my collection of Pendragon books and read ‘em all over again(finally convinced my mom to buy the whole series *yes!*)
Hobey Ho!
Emily says:
Oh wow, is there an all of the above option? I adore this series, to the point where I re-read them over and over again.
But there is one thing that has always grabbed my attention in fiction series and especially in Pendragon, how do you come up with the territory names?
Phader 11 says:
mine is probably the reality bug, because it’s the only book that fully takes place in a more advanced world than second earth. I don’t count the warped and twisted third earth.
Hallaman10 says:
You mean the one in 9-10 or the origional becuase that wasnt twisted it was what I pray were able to make the world into by that time.

rokador27 says:
P.S I LOVE THIS SERIES! I CANT WAIT TO FINISH 7 8 9 AND 10 from what ive heard 10 is the best so im trying not to reed spoilers!
Traveler101 says:
I read the series last year and now I’m competing with my friend (who also read it with last year) on who can finish it first. We only just started this challenge this week, so we’re only on book 1 and 2. But as i was rereading the books, I realized there was alot of stuff in their before that I never thought of. Also, the books (especially the last one really made me think. My friend and I started talking about the one thing of the 10th book, and by the end of the class period were on really deep stuff.) It is my all time favorite series. Its the best and I’m glad I’m rereading it.
Thanks D.J. MacHale for writing the series.

I wrote the comment at 3:56pm not 7:56pm. I’m weird like that, but we’re all weird. No such thing as normal.
PressGunny2 says:
@Traveler101,
I did the same exact thing. My friend and I started on Tuesday; she’s on 1 and I’m on 2. To make it even stanger, last year we both read them for the first time, and one day in Study Hall she asked how I thought D. J. came up with the name Pendragon and we ended the period with “the true reason behind life”…That is so weird.
By the way, now that I’m rereading it, I found there were so many jokes in the first one that I never got before, Press especially…and Saint Dane; even Osa.
Pendragon LOVER :D says:
I love all the books, they are all my favorite books. If i had to choose one, it would probably the last book, the soldiers of halla, it is so suspensefull.
Traveler101 says:
@PressGunny2,
yeah, there were many jokes that some of then that I didn’t get or understand until some books that I read later.
Zadaa Ghee says:
My favorite Pendragon book is . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . no clue . . . . I think I can say is my least favorite is The Never War, since it’s one of just two sitting in my bookshelf right now, and I really like rereading The Quillan Games, but it ties with The Rivers of Zadaa (huge surprise, right??) and The Lost City of Faar.
Olivia says:
Pendragon is the best book of all time. If I ahd to choose which book is the best in my opinion it would be the Rivers of Zadaa, and The Quillian games, and well, all of them. I don’t have a favorite. I just love them all. Forget all those wands and magic rings, Pendragon is the best of all times.
Hobey Ho!
Loor18 says:
I really don’t know i think they are all pretty god but i have only read the first 4.
CourtneyChetwynde13 says:
i don’t know all of them are so good. I’m on Raven Rise right now and it’s very good. But I think my favorite would have to be THe rivers of zadaa or the pilgrims of rayne
CourtneyChetwynde13 says:
How Come this series isn’t very popular i mean seriously it’s better than the hunger games so it should be way more popular. We should all recommend this book to everyone.!!!!!! START RECOMMENDING!
