[.uk] The Wings of Merlin (The Lost Years of Merlin) (ISBN 0399250247)

Merlin Fanatic:
My first impression of Merlin in books one through three was that he was a strong,caring but sometimes moody wizard. Rhia his sister loved the earth and the trees and all life in general. The author makes me belive in Merlin when he tries to save Fincayra, the place where they live by defeating Rhit Gwar the bad guy. They amass all the creatures of Fincayra. The story in a way dives right into the action with many sub plots and the final plot (The head of the action). There is also a lot of description in the story explaining battles,people, and even new found powers. This book genre is fantasy because of wizard's magic, and other strange creatures. The plot is usually easy too follow because of the way the author writes it. the exposition may have been dragged a bit but I still got involved. I would definetly reccomend this book to others if you like King Arthur or medieval things, because a lot of things if you look closely tie into King Arthur myths and legends. This book left me feeling satisfied because it is a truly great book. I have read some other books by T.A.Barron like The Seven Songs of Merlin and others. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone i meet. This book is awesome!!!!

Yea Merlin:
A good ending for the series. I enjoyed it and will be happy to share the series with my grandchildren. The books are not only a good adventure series, the characters grow, evolve and develop good characteristics that I would like to see in more people in my community.

The Wings of Merlin:
I read The Wings of Merlin, by T.A.Barron. This is a fantasy book, fourth and last book of the Lost Years of Merlin series. This book talks of Merlin's life on the island of Fincayra before he goes to England to serve King Arthur. Fincayra is an island in between the human world and the otherworld. Merlin and his friends are warned by the Great Spirit, Dagda, that Fincayra and the otherworld will come perilously close on the longest night of the year. At that moment, a spirit army will try to overtake Fincayra. Merlin's task is to reunite the separated peoples of Fincayra so that they may form an army to defend their homeland. This book was a very good ending to the Lost Years of Merlin series. People who like fantasy and are interested in the legend of King Arthur should read it.

The Wings of Merlin - By L.E.A:
I love this series. Although I am not a huge fan of fantasy books this book captivated me with an entertaining plot and wonderful characters. I have something else to say if you haven't read the other 4 books you won't know about a lot of things so before you read this you need to read the other books. Well hope this helps you!

A Good Adventure Story:
I can't help but feel that this book is lacking in complexity. For me, the characters are generally shallow and the conflicts are fairly simple. While I enjoy the classic "good versus evil" story, I would like more depth. The simplicity of the conflict and strong emotional reactions of the characters cause this book to be almost melodramatic, and sometimes the courses of action Merlin takes simply don't make sense. Despite the flaws, I still enjoyed this story. It has good lessons to teach, and a creative and somewhat entertaining story line. If you are a fan of Merlin, TA Barron, I would definitely recommend it. If not, it's a decent read, just not the best.
