Product Description

From AudioFile

Unlike other books about the Arthurian Legend, Mary Stewart focuses on Merlin, the wizard. Stephen Thorne does a masterful job portraying the other characters, as well. Here in the second bookof the trilogy, we hear Merlin as a youth who travels widely. Thorne captures the accents and voices of people from different countries. Later Merlin becomes tutor to Arthur as he grows into manhood. The scenes of battle, feasting and Arthur's drawing the king's sword from the stone are made vividly real. Thorne's versatility adds absorbing dimension to the trilogy. D.M.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very entertaining, May 23 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: Hollow Hills (Paperback)

I find Arthurian lit comes in two categories: generic or so far from the legend it's painful.

In this book, Stewart stays faithful to the Arthurian myth while taking what she needs from history and her own imagination. I was particularly impressed with the way she handled the sword issue -- though not entirely faithful to the legend it's all there, sword in the stone and Excalibur, all tying into her own mythology perfectly. As with "The Crystal Cave" I particularly enjoyed the aspects of pagan mythology that tied into the whole story alongside of the Christian aspect.

3.0 out of 5 stars Outrageously Boring, Dec 24 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Hollow Hills (Library Binding)

Mary Stewart is considered to be one of the major milestones, if that's the word, in Arthurian Literature. Yet I found myself skipping pages repeatedly. The plot in itself was interesting, mixing traditional arthurian legend with Stewart's own creativity. It is a powerful mix, but the potency is lost. Why? The passages are far too long, the descriptions uninteresting and repetitive. In detailing everything, the story was lost.
