This was fine. Not a lot happens, and the character development is simply worse than the previous books. Still curious to see how this story ends, but haven’t enjoyed the more recent books as much as the first few. ( )

Gaius Merlin Britannicus, pas një tentative të dështuar për të vrarë Arthurin e vogël, iku nga Camelot. Duke lundruar në veri, të arratisurit mbërrijnë në portin neutral të Ravenglass, mbreti i të cilit është Derek, njeriu që vrau babanë e Arturit dhe përdhunoi nënën e tij. Merlin duhet të shtypë urrejtjen që mbart për atë njeri dhe madje t'i shpëtojë jetën. Në këmbim, atij do t'i jepet një fortesë e vjetër e braktisur nga romakët. I fshehur atje, Merlin do të edukojë dhe trajnojë të riun Arthur të Pendragonit.

All in all, this is a placeholder book with very little but preparation for the final projected book in the series. The major plot is not advanced, the subplot, the one about Merlyn's celibacy, is a yawner, and, there are some descriptions of Cumbrian countryside. ( )

Yet another great book in the Camulod Chronicles. ( )

A enthralling tale of King Arthur's teenage years which is usually jumped over in the other "Arthurian" texts. It is an epic historical fiction with wonderful detail, lovable characters, and a real sense of just being there. ( )
