On the old forums I made a post about this, but since they no longer exist, I’ll write something again.
The final chapter of The Soldiers of Halla has been talked about and discussed quite a bit. Some love it. Others hate it. Some understand it fully. Others don’t get it. I’m not going to explain it all here because I’d prefer that readers draw their own conclusions. But I will make a few comments. First off, I don’t consider the ending to be a cliff hanger. Not even close. The story is very clear about what is going to happen next, and that is that Bobby will soon go to Solara and Courtney will not be far behind. To understand how the events described in the last chapter could have happened, you have to look at the end of the second to last chapter. Bobby lamented to Uncle Press that after all they had been through, it seemed unfair that the Travelers were not being allowed to live the normal lives they fought so hard for. All they wanted was a little bit of time to live those lives, which in the general scheme of Halla, wasn’t much . . . and Uncle Press agreed with him. How that was able to happen, and what all the implications are, I’ll leave that up to you to debate and decide.
I’ll say one other thing, and that’s about the guy who delivered Bobby’s journals to him in the hospital. Short of actually writing his name, I pretty much described exactly who it was. From the events that unfolded in the hospital room with Bobby and Courtney kissing and being interrupted, to his physical description, to Bobby recognizing him, to him saying that he had nine other journals to deliver, there is no other possible person that could have been…but Uncle Press.

bobbys soul mate says:

I SEE THE CHEESE!!!!!!!!! says:
hi! how are ya?
we just went to the cornmaze today and i led everyone. me and dad went to the top of the mountian without climbing. it was fun. except for the end when i was pooped out and i felt like i was going to die. i took a nap today, which i never usually do. that’s my parents.
bobbys soul mate says:
well im kinda mad because we were supposed to go to a family reunion today.But then nobody bothered to tell my mom or dad that it acually started a 11:00 am and not 1:00pm. And instead of it being at the same place it had been for 6 years, it was some place 45 minutes away from there. So “I SEE THE CHEESE!!!!!!!!!” your pretty lucky. GRRRRRR!!!
loor says:
DJ
ever thought of making a pendragon movie
Courtney says:
@ loor: i was just thinking the same thing
Naymeer says:
Uhh, I think the movie would be ret… I might offend someone using that word, I think the movie would be overly stupid… but the books were awesome
bobbys soul mate says:
my library just got the third BTW book. But only the third one. But i dont know about the movie. It might turn out OK. But then again there are some movies that LOOK awesome but actually stink like a toilet! HA. hopefully its actually a good movie.
second traveler says:
afr
second traveler says:
Spam Check
I SEE THE CHEESE!!!!!!!!! says:
my library is sooooooooooooooooooooo slow. they have almost NONE of the books i want. They don’t have MR or BTW or anything that i like to read that i haven’t already read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they don’t have the chronicles of imaginarium geographica or the faerie path or anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it’s horrible.
Loor rules says:
i wish my library had MR to
bobbys soul mate says:
i know i never get out, but what in the world IS MR? ive heard of BTW but not MR. Let me be taught of the different series masters. I WANT TO KNOW!
Mozartghost says:
MR is short for Morpheus Road.
Lead Traveler says:
MR stands for Morpheus Road like he said and it’s another one of dj’s books. and BTW if you didn’t know stands for Before the War and it’s sort of like a prequel, sequel to Pendragon.
Lead Traveler says:
my sister is a make-up-olic.
Lead Traveler says:
one of my friend’s annoying bratty little sister told me while i was at her house to stop talking with a country accent. i said what. and she said, i said to stop talking with a country accent. you’re talking with a country accent. i said i am. she said yeah. stop it. i told one of my other friends today and she said that i don’t really except at some times. and that i don’t go around saying “Y’all” all the time. i said i do sometimes. like yesterday. i was really mad at our idiotic dogs and i said “Y’all kill yourselves, ok?!!” she laughed.
Naymeer says:
OK? And that has something to do with Pendragon how?
Lead Traveler says:
i don’t know. i just said it.
Lead Traveler says:
does anyone know what a make-up-olic is?!?!? anyone?
Naymeer says:
Yeah, they love makeup.*Gag*.
bobbys soul mate says:
i would never be a makeup holic. why cant people just be fine with who they are?
Caylia says:
I don’t wear make-up. People are much nicer as their natural selves. Natural beauty is best.
Lead Traveler says:
yes. it means that she is addicted to make up and she thinks she looks ugly without. she’s the main reason i don’t wear make up because i don’t want to end up like her. if i ever where make up it will be lip gloss and that’s it.
Naymeer says:
Well, I just have to say, I look pretty hot without make up… because I’m a boy, but I still do!
bobbys soul mate says:
okay naymeer. I am almost done with the 1st MR book! it is awesome!!!!!!!!!!
Naymeer says:
True dat
Caylia says:
Yeah, The Light was awesome. Even more pumped for The Black!
Gunny says:
I don’t get it… did bobby lose his memory at the end of soldiers of halla? He seems like he’s out of it… Hes pretty weird at the end. I just hope that all of a sudden he goes, “Oh snap! I forgot!” and remembers everything.
Gunny says:
I wish uncle press just told bobby it was him. I got pretty ticked off that Bobby didn’t know…
WHY DID MARK DIE
bobbys soul mate says:
hey, in the 1st MR book, i had to smile when it said that Mark Dimond had quit the job at the trophy shop. Cool.
But i toatally agree with you Gunny. At first i thought, how in the Holy Halla, do you forget that?
Boon says:
I have all of the books. They are the best books ive ever read. I think someone should make a movie about Pendragon. Im not sure how good it will be. Does anyone completely understand the last chapter of the soldiers of halla?
asldjf says:
What does MR mean?
bobbys soul mate says:
same question i asked asldjf. But it stands for Morpheous Road.
saint dane says:
i am back to kill bobby pendragon i am mean and have recreated the seires in a movie u all run i will get u and turn halla in tumroil muhahahahahahaha
Lead Traveler says:
ok Gunny and bobbys soul mate, he kind of did forget that all that had happened, but really the epilogue is how bobby would’ve ended up if Press hadn’t broken up Courtney and Bobby’s kiss, and if Bobby would’ve gone to the basketball game.
bobbys soul mate says:
i got that but still,(sigh)
bobbys soul mate says:
brrrr, i just took my dog,Rosie,out to go to the bathroom outside. I live in Georgia, it’s suposed to be the south. But every year it’s brutaly hot Summers, then brutaly cold winters. I’m always like ,”WHAT HAPPENED TO FALL!” And then every night i’m at my big sisters cheer practice or my little brothers football practice. Yesterday morning,I was at my little brothers football game, and my little sister and i camped out under the bleachers with blankets to try to keep warm. I think we might have looked like hobos. It was like 30 degrees when we got back in the car at like 12:00 in the afternoon. And then today i’m going to my bigsisters Cheer Bowl. withch is like Super Bowl,but for cheer leaders. I heard they grade you on your smile. WOW!
I think this must have been longer then my last comment. Ha! GGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOODDBBBYYYYYYEEE!
Naymeer says:
You just told us your like whole life’s story… why?
dodger says:
