**Review by: Tim **

**You’ll be on the edge of your seat if you read this.”Pendragon the Merchant of Death” by D.J. Machale is recommended for ages 10+ but don’t let the age fool you I think everyone should read this book.The relatable characters show actions that they do that you the reader might do if you were in their shoes. In addition, the plot is your average bad guy vs. good but with a twist. Overall, Pendragon deserves more medals than what it has now and should be read by more readers like you. Once you begin this adventure there is none who can stop you. **
 * To begin with, D.J. Machale makes caring and relatable characters. As an example, Bobby, the main characters was a typical teenage boy from Connecticut. He played sports, had family and friends.but it all changed on one fateful night. Bobby risked his life and did tasks he wasn’t supposed to do just to save a small village. In fact, Bobby had the chance to go back home but instead he kept his word of saving the the dangered people. His actions show his determination of rescuing the village and his reliability. **


 * Moreover, the plot was surprising and actioned-packed. The exposition is not what you would expect it to be. It was very succinct and little humorous.For example, the plot was surprising because in the book you will find a part of the book where the villain is measuring how many minerals the poor village has mined for him. Then he makes an unfair change causing the death of a husband. Throughout the book the conflict is your average good vs. evil except you’ll start to notice that evil is always one step ahead of good. The plot is a never-ending rollercoaster with twists and turns. Furthermore, the plot will rapidly generate questions in your head making you want to read more to find some answers. **


 * “Pendragon is absolutely incredible,” from a book reviewer to the everyday reader many positive comments are spoken about about Pendragon. This book has earned some awards like the Nevada Young Readers and the Wyoming Indian Paintbrush award. Machale has many witty comedic quotes but some are very thoughtful. To illustrate an example Machale has said, “You can’t have pride without humility.Aggression without compassion. Power without restraint.” Also, Machale has a website ( [|__http://djmachalebooks.com/__] ) where he has all his books in convienence. **


 * Subsequently, anyone can read Pendragon and adore it. This action-packed adventure will keep you reading, the characters and plot will amaze you with their stunning ups and downs. Meanwhile, the witty quotes in the book will make you laugh. If you fully enjoy the book you could read the entire series, the other books are just as admirable if not superior to the first book. Throughout the series D.J. Machale becomes a better writer and will amaze you yet again with what he has in store. **
