The Lost Years of Merlin

In Arthurian legend, much of Merlin’s history is unaccounted for. What was he doing before? It seems he was busy in the fantastic realm of Fincayra. T.A. Barron’s epic, The Lost Years of Merlin, is a five-book series detailing Barron’s idea of the history of Merlin.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the first book, though it contains important storyline. The remaining books are great though, and who knows…maybe I’d like the first book better if I re-read it.

The two series I’ve enjoyed the most since reading the final Harry Potter volume are The Lost Years of Merlin, and the Old Kingdom series.

The books are quick to read, though the language is not watered-down at all. I’d put them at a high-school reading level.

BookAdvice.net has a more thorough review of the series, though (as of now) not all of the books have been reviewed.
