Mary Stewart is great at providing detail. She clearly states that this work is not entirely based on historical fact or even the authentic legend. She is just writing a good book that is the exciting and personal life of Merlin and Arthur.

Great. I really enjoyed the young Merlin and the way magic was described as good observation and science frequently.
I skimmed a lot of the descriptive bits.
