Summary: From a Dragyne's perspective . . It was excellent!
Comment: I loved this book. I was first drawn to it by the unusual artwork on the cover. After passing it by on the shelves a few times (I admit I'm not a big fan of Arthurian Legend) I picked it up. I was not disapointed at all.
I love the way tha author blends the different legends and myths into one coherrent plot line. I was disapointed there wasn't more of the Dragon and the Unicorn ( I thought the dragon was one of the most innovative "characters" I've seen in a long while). But the rest of the story was so good i didn't mond too much. Highly recomended, even if it does take a little time to get into.

Summary: A new cosmology and a great read
Comment: I've read at least a dozen tellings of the story of Merlin and Arthur, but this is by far the most original. Attanasio weaves together Norse and Celtic beliefs with elements of Christianity to create a rich and fascinating cosmic struggle. This new mythology, starting at the beginning of time, provides a backdrop for the "birth" and development of Merlin.
The writing is exceptional... fluid and magical. The characters are engaging and complex.
This book is a great read by itself, as well as a wonderful introduction for Attanasio's later books.

Summary: masterpiece
Comment: I think one of the problems is trying to judge this book on the myths it was based on, or on the story of king arthur. This book isn't just a mere retelling, but a complete reworking. To get lost in its accuracy toward Christian or Norse mythology is to miss the greater point, that this book is ultimately about redemption amidst monumental failures. In that respect, it can be just as inspirational as any musty Scripture if not more so.
