Read this many years ago. I was remember HAVING to read it after having read the Crystal Cave. I seem to recall some future tech was involved, believe it or not. Great good read!
I thought this was the best of her series, but her series is not the best of the Arthurian sagas. Good ... but not as great as Jack Whyte or Lawhead or Attanasio or others I'm not selling!
The best thing I can tell you is, if you like J.R.R Tolkien, you will love this. It has a slow beginning, which can tend to push a reader away, but if you hang in there, it is well worth it. There are many tasks and obstacles that Merlin and his apprentice must overcome, with an action packed conclusion.
