Barron, T.A. Merlin’s Dragon: Ultimate Magic, 223 pgs. Philomel Books, 2010.
Language – G, Sexual Content – G; Violence – PG;
There is about to be yet another battle for Avalon. Basilgarrad stands with meager forces up against a trained army both in the air and on the ground. He feels alone and overwhelmed as he fights for the land he loves, but fights hard in order to live through this battle in order to fight one more. The battle that will end in defeat of the monster responsible for it all or saying goodbye to Avalon.
Overwhelming despair is triumphed by wisdom and a bit of luck at the very moment that death seems to be inevitable. This and the always present touching scenes about the lives of the most daring characters made this book fun to read. I didn’t enjoy it as much as I wanted to, though, because I haven’t read the first two. The absence of those books made it confusing, but only took a little from the otherwise enjoyable tale.
