Rating:
Summary: I liked the book because it was a well written sequal.
Review: I really liked this book because of all the books I have read, I don't think that I have ever read as good as sequal as this. It answered a lot of my questions that were left unanswered at the end of "The Lost Years of Merlin". It also had a lot more energy than the first one and didn't beat around the bush as much. There was a lot more action and I really liked that. It also had more characters and places and showed how each of them turned out after the first book. I have not yet read "The Fires of Merlin" and can hardly wait to get it.

Rating:
Summary: This is a great book with a ending that will shock you.
Review: This book is a great one, but hard to understand if you haven't read the Lost Years of Merlin. It has happiness that soon becomes sadness, when mother and son unite at last, and then sorrow turns to great sorrow, then when almost all hope is lost they come through.

Summary: Beyond Words
Review: I personaly don't like to read very much and would only read when I was forced to, mostly for school assinments, however I love Merlin and Mid-Evil times. One year ago I was at the book store being preasured into buying a book and reading it by my mom,so I pulled off the shelf T. A. Barron's "The Seven Songs of Merlin", and checked out with it. After stalling for some time my mother finaly forgot that a had the book in my room, but I was bord one day and desided to read it. This boy how could not stand to read was suddenly swept away by this wonderful book, I finished the book, but I had to read more,I am now on the process of reading "The Lost Years of Merlin", and have "The Fires of Merlin" for after that, and can't wait to read his new book he's writing to come out. I would recomend this book to any one who love's Merlin, Mid-Evil times, or any one that is looking for a book that will leave them yerning for more.

Summary: By far one of the best medievil books out there.
Review: The Seven Songs of Merlin was my first of the group, but I hope it isn't my last. As an eighth grade student that spends most of his time in front of a computer, a book has to be good to get my attention. Well, it got it.

Summary: A wonderful sequel
Review: T.A. Barron has done it again. The Seven Songs of Merlin picks up where we left of. Emrys Merlin now must discover The Seven Songs of Wizardry. This is quite a turning point in his life.

Summary: a great way to spend a rainy day
Review: i liked this book cause it was different from others i've read. It answered a lot of the questions that The Lost Years of Merlin made me think up, but it still left some in my mind. i could see merlin becoming a great wizard and everything. i can't wate for the next one in the trilogy!!!!

Summary: This book's a BEAUTY!
Review: Seven Songs is Barron at his best (and don't think I say that because I'm from Colorado, as is Barron). This is one of the best YA books I've read -- and as an 8th grade teacher, I've read zillions as have my students. There are TONS of YA books not worth my students' or my time, but this is a winner. There is emphasis on a young person setting up a personal code of ethics--but absolutely not at the expense of the wonderous tale of young Merlin. And Barron makes me believe in all the adventures. It's a tender story--with some rip-roaring adventure. I don't often see the two combined so well. If it reminds me of another book, it is of Hesse's Siddhartha. I am not a "fantasy fan" in any way -- but Barron writes for ALL readers in this one. I do NOT see how it could have been ignored for the awards.
