Merlin Part 3 : The End of Magic

Rating:
Summary: Quite good
Review: This third book in a trilogy (which for once is actually derived from the miniseries instead of the reverse) is a good read. I'll grant that there are finer works on Arthurian legend (Think Stewart's Merlin trilogy, Lawhead's Pendragon cycle, Cornwell's Warlord trilogy, Attanasio's Dragon and the unicorn or even the Bradley work if you don't mind blatant feminism). Despite of that, this is a book that creates some great images of Merlin and his coming of age. I love to read about Merlin anyway and this is simply a lighter version, not something that diminished it. I'll state that this book contains several events which were not even in the film, which makes this a surprising read after all.
