This was the first book in this series that wasn't told from Merlin's perspective and I was surprised to find how much I enjoyed it. Getting to go on a grand journey with such a small creature unaware of their importance was lovely. It was fairly easy to piece together what was going to happen but some details pleasantly surprised me with a twist. Basil's story will be one I return to for comfort.
