review 1: This book really surprised me, I stumbled onto it at the library and the synopsis peaked my interest. Normally I am not big on King Arthur stories but I liked the idea of a more modern take on them. I can honestly say that I loved all of the characters from the start which I think is rare but it does happen. Artie Kingfisher is a super likeable protagonist and his sister Kay is even more likeable. The version of Merlin in this book is great, I love the idea of him running a comic book shop and being an all powerful wizard simultaneously. I do have my doubts about Merlin in the upcoming books but I will definitely be reading them and I am looking forward to seeing where the story goes.
review 2: A mishmash of folklore, legend, fantasy, and science fiction that l... moreoots lines, ideas, characters and plot turns from them all. Throw-away lines like “I have a bad feeling about this,” and “Holy”whatever ala Robin, distract from the action. The dialogue is dizzying with forced slang from every era -”totally awesome”and“holy cow,” “oh fudge (I could go on), and the action is interrupted with obvious recaps. BUT - there are dragons, wizards, portals (moongating), man-wolves, quests, and gory graphic violent battles - something for every kid. Holy hyperbole, Batman! less
