"This isn't one of the best books in the series, but it was still fantastic. McHale always seems to know how to add another twist to the story, and that's why the series is so good."
"you love your pet it loves you most of the time. but what evolution had taken a differnt route and you were you pets pet. how would you react. find out how bobby does in black water."
"This is my least favorite book in the series so far. It moved too slowly, and for its length, it really felt like nothing was happening. It was only with the promise of things getting better (and my own stubbornness) that I finished this.
I did feel like MacHale did a good job weaving Saint Dane's "trap" without it being overly obvious. I mean, we knew something weird was happening with the flumes cracking every time Coutney and Mark used them, but I definitely didn't predict the ending happening the way it did. And then I was angry about it. I found the ending to be the strongest part, really.
I really liked Kasha. I thought she was a very believable character. I mean, seriously, some random guy shows up and tells you that you can Travel to different corners of the universe and the fate of the universe rests on your shoulders. I know I wouldn't jump right into that, so the fact that Kasha didn't, either, was plausible. It also left a lot of room for her to grow throughout the story. And while I definitely wasn't happy about her death, I think it was very effective in showing the cost of their war against Saint Dane."
"This series is amazing in that you feel so much like you're living the book...as everything begins to change and get more serious, you feel it.
Saint Dane is changing the rules. After toppling Veelox, the dark demon heads to Eelong, a world unlike anything Bobby could have prepared for. In this massive, jungle-like territory, the dominant species are intelligent predator cats that walk and talk and call themselves the klees. And on Eelong, they keep humans as pets.
But the food source on Eelong is failing, and Saint Dane is planning to unleash a deadly plague on both the cat-creatures and humans of Eelong. The only way to stop him may be to break the rules; to bring an antidote from another territory, a Traveler taboo. It is a dilemma that will change Bobby Pendragon's entire view of his duty and himself.
With Mark and Courtney brought into the action from Second Earth for the first time, the return of Travelers Gunny and Spader, and a host of brand new characters, culture concepts, and places, "Black Water" is another totally original tale in this hugely creative series.
But by the end, things are still looking bad, and the familiar territory of Zadaa may be next..."
