alexk02 's review for:
The Crystal Cave
by Mary Stewart
FINALLY. I FINALLY FREAKING FINISHED THIS BOOK.
I have to give it a 3.5 star rating. It diminished the books awesome factor for me since it took me so long to read and finish.
This book is about Merlin and it is an Arthurian retelling. Honestly, I absolutely loved this book when I was little. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad book but I think the fact it took me so long to read is just something that really made me not like the book as much. I felt a lot of the book was also too historical for me, it was a lot of recounting of events and explaining them rather than the events getting to be lived out through Merlin. If that makes sense. The characters were well thought out and the plot and world well developed but I feel like I could have gone for more from the book. I don't know if I'm going to read the series or not or just stick with this one. It's just something I'm not too sure about yet.
