Wonderful, enchanting, entertaining, and everything I needed. I'm so grateful to have ended the series on such a positive note.

Just as everything is coming to its beautiful tragic end, we have to listen to why humans are terrible in comparison to animals for 50 pages, and instead of Arthur it turns into White’s own political opinions. I was so disappointed when I got to this - the reason it has 3 stars still is for the very beginning when Arthur is alone and sees Merlyn and convinced himself he’s a dream, how much Arthur tried to live up to what his tutor wanted and how hard it was for him. And for that last beautiful couple of pages with the fates of Lancelet and Guenevere.

Charming animals and while I appreciate the political thoughts, I can see why they were cut. A lot of magic and slight obfuscation in the full book are missing, making this part feel a little cheaper

I liked this one better than the previous two. I think my favorites in the series (The Once and Future King) were the first and the last. Mostly likely because those where the ones that included Merlyn and Archimedes and focused on Arthur and his adventures. I also enjoyed the animal stories, particularly the badger. I'm glad I read the series, but it doesn't earn a spot on my favorites list.

Perhaps the worst contribution to arthurian lore ever. What the fuck was going on.

Merlin pontificates about animal politics far too late to do anything of value as Arthur prays for death. Or maybe that was me, listening to this book.
