i am now on the second book in the pen dragon series and i am loving it. one trouble that bobby has to doge are these things called quigs that are monsters that change form according to the dimension that he is in and they are out solely to stop him. in the first book they where big abomanal snowmen like things and in the second books they are giant sharks kinda like jaws. there are not allot of these monsters when he runs into one it is very hard to kill or escape it so when he does run into one it causes allot of tension that makes you want to keep flipping the pages.
