Editorial Review: He was born to greatness, the son of a druid bard and a princess of lost Atlantis. A trained warrior, blessed with the gifts of prophecy and song, he grew to manhood in a land ravaged by the brutal greed of petty chieftains and barbarian invaders.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Lawhead weaves a great tale
I am a fan of the Mary Stewart Arthurian legend, yet I found myself enthralled with the Pendragon Cycle of books. Very different types of stories, but I found them equally interesting. I read this book almost 20 years ago and I remember it almost in its entirety.
Rating: - Not Free SF Reader
Merlin goes through a considerable period of Myrddins life. He is the child of Charis of Atlantis and Taliesin the Bard.
From being a kid and showing his tutelage by various luminaries, to life as a young warrior, all the way through to becoming a kingmaker and installing Arthur.
Rating:  - The Second Book in the Pendragon Cycle
Stephen R. Lawhead is an internationally acclaimed author of mythic history and imaginative fiction. His works include Byzantium and the series The Pendragon Cycle, The Celtic Crusades, and The Song of Albion. Stephen Lawhead has his home in Austria with his wife.

I spent a MONTH trying to slog through this book. Taliesin wasn't too bad, i liked the new twist on Atlantis, but this book was a constant headache. I fought my way through the first half, then had the person i had borrowed the book from skim through and tell me what the heck happened in the end.
Rating: - Great addition to Pendragon series
Next to "Arthur", I think this is the best book in the series. It does not shuffle between narrarators, it is in first person from Merlin's point of view. Very accurate to legend and poetically written. It has an intriguing plot that adhers to legend with Lawhead's added research on the time and culture, as well as imagination.
I have read too many accounts of Arthurian fiction, and I very much liked the Pendragon cycle. Lawhead writes like a poet. His writing can get pretentious at times, ... Read More
