oisin175 's review for:
The Lost Years of Merlin
by T.A. Barron
The saga may improve, but this book seemed convoluted with regard to plot. Emrys' past is kept from him for no real reason. In fact, if his mother had told him everything then he probably would have made different choices or at least been better prepared. Emrys himself is also somewhat insufferable through the majority of the book. Other people must suffer because of his rigid decision framework. Overall, I cannot see how a character with the central characteristics demonstrated in this book could actually mature into the Merlin of legend.
