Merlin's Bones

Summary: Could have been better, too many loose ends
Review: The writer, who I was previously never heard of must have been hoping to write a sequel because there were so many loose ends! Someone typed in the reviews that Saberhagen has had "trouble" writing endings - I see that as not a problem because he didn't really write an ending! I like the others found the jump from the future to Amby to Bran and Hakon not so much confusing, but distracting without having much to pull them together expept at the very end. Who, by the way is the Fisher King? I never figured that one out either but I did not spend long reading this book because it was not as interesting as I hoped that it would be. Pick it up if you have the time - the basic plot of the story is fine, the characters (for the most part) interesting, and the twists worth reading - if you prepare yourself not to be thoroughly pleased with the "un"ending.
