Pendragon 8: The Pilgrims of Rayne


By D.J. MacHale

When Bobby Pendragon first arrives on the tropical world of Ibara, he finds paradise. As he works to uncover clues about the turning point this seemingly idyllic territory will soon face, all he can determine is that the people of Ibara are blissfully happy. It's not long before Bobby discovers, however, that they are also blissfully...oblivious.
The leaders of Ibara are keeping a devastating secret from their people, one that gives Saint Dane all the opportunity he needs to launch his final assault on Halla.
While Bobby struggles to learn the truth in time to thwart Saint Dane, Courtney Chetwynde desperately searches for Mark Diamond. On the heels of a shocking tragedy, Mark has disappeared. Worse, he seems to be under Saint Dane's influence. It's up to Courtney to find Mark and stop him from making a grave mistake that could change the future of all existence.



This book was by far the most frusterating to read of all the books so far. I was so incredibly mad at Bobby that with only 60 pages left I just had to put it away. I was thinking in my head, "ha! This'll show you, I just won't read about it!" That lasted about half a day until I was able to calm down enough to finish it. I honestly haven't gotten that worked up over fiction in a long while. I got to the point where I looked forward to getting away from Bobby's journals to read about what Courtney was doing to find the missing Mark. Bobby was just ticking me off. It was one of those instances where I was yelling at him in my head, "No you doofus! That's the completely wrong thing to do!" At least the book is going somewhere. I hope. Gah!
