Je tiens tout d’abord à remercier les Editions Nathan pour l’envoi de ce livre, et pour la confiance qu’ils me témoignent. Ce fut un réel plaisir de découvrir la suite des aventures du jeune Merlin.Nous retrouvons Merlin, ou nous l’avons laissé dans le premier tome. Lors du grand conseil, il se v...
This was not the best book to read immediately after The Hunting Games. The language felt stilted and overflowery for the target audience, the plot movement was choppy, and I didn't feel like the main character, a teenage girl, was well developed enough to absorb what the plot was requiring of h...

Barron seems to have overc...

I just felt like this was a little slower than the plot should have moved. Maybe if something more important happened to Merli...

Barron's series about the Arthurian wizard Merlin, "The Wizard's Wings," is a solid conclusion to his first cycle of books (there are two sequel series). It's a fitting if bi...
