The two books I have read are Pendragon by DJ Machale the other was Incarceron by Catherine Fisher. They are both centered on fantasy, action, romance, mystery, adventure and magic. In Pendragon the main character goes to another world through a portal. While in Incarceron the two main characters travel back and forth between the prison and reality through their own portal. Two each of the characters it seems to be a magical portal that takes them each to a different world from their world that they each know and love. Each of the characters also leaves behind someone they care about a lot. In Pendragon the main character has to fight in a war that could destroy the whole world causing each of the worlds that are all connected to each other to be destroyed as well. In Incarceron the world is also in danger of falling apart because if everyone finds out about what’s really going on there will be a civil war that could destroy everything. Throughout both books there is plenty of action, from the battle scenes like in the prison and at the castle when they invade the realm to kill the prince. Each book is pure fantasy because of their magical elements that are throughout each of the books. From the portals to the vanishing house there is a lot that is magical to both worlds. There’s also a lot of mystery too like who the real prince is to the vanishing house. Pendragon and Incarceron are both viewed through the eyes of the characters. They both also switch between each of the main characters. “Uncle Press did a lot for me as I was growing up and never asked for a single thing in return. Until now. How could I turn him down?” (Pendragon 9). “If it means my death, I don't care, because even death will be a sort of freedom.” (Incarceron). Both of these Quotes show a character is talking and it’s not the author. Another quote that shows how the story begins in Pendragon, I hope you’re reading this, Mark. “Heck, I hope anybody’s reading this because the only thing that’s keeping me from going totally off my nut right now is getting this all down on paper so that someday, when it’s all over, it’ll help prove that I’m not a total whack job. You see, two things happened yesterday that changed my life forever.” (Pendragon 1).Each story has to do with saving the world in one way or the other. While Pendragon deals with more than one world they are still saving a world. The characters are also pretty close to being the same because in some ways they are a lot alike. There are really three main characters in each book and they both have two boys and a girl in each group. Also in each story there is a couple that falls in love in both of the books. And they each have to find out the truth of what’s going on and where the other is. It’s a mystery and a suspenseful story for both of the books, each has its moments from the exploding mines and battle to the wondrous journey through the prison and through the journey of the kingdom. Each of the characters are all lovable in their own special way. The humor and action is laid on thick in both books. Both books are a good taste of adventure that readers can enjoy and appreciate at every turn. These are some of the best books I’ve ever read and I think they deserve there fame.
