jason_as 's review for:
The Lost Years of Merlin
by T.A. Barron
This was one of my OMGFaves back in, like, elementary school. But I think having read many more books inc several in the genre made this reread totally unsatisfying in comparison. Merlin’s a boring, annoying little shit who seems to stumble around from person to person, who are conveniently around wherever he goes to push him further on his little journey. The main saving graces are the concept which is still cool, and a pair of one-dimensional but likable characters, the maternal mother and the blustering tiny giant. I don’t think I’ll continue with rereads of the sequels so as not to totally sour my memories of the series.
