The Wings of Merlin Reviews
"This book is a crescendo of miracles!"
—Madeleine L'Engle
"Phenomenally successful...brilliantly conceived."
—Boulder Daily Camera
"In this fifth and final volume of the series, the themes of sacrifice, forgiveness, and destiny are played out on a mist-shrouded stage. Followers of the well-written fantasy series will find plenty of action and drama, with familiar touches of humor.”
—School Library Journal
"Barron brings his Lost Years of Merlin saga to a resounding, satisfying close…as the fast paced story winds to a conclusion, Merlin faces his most difficult decision yet. A love of the natural world and sense of spirituality infuse the saga as a whole, and we see Merlin, who has come to understand his dark side as well as his strengths and ideals, finally ready to become the legendary magician and mentor to King Arthur."
—Sally Estes, Booklist
"Triumphant once again, master storyteller T. A. Barron has created a stirring conclusion to his magnificent epic series about the lost years of Merlin's youth. In Barron's capable hands, Merlin exemplifies the true spiritual essence of a hero; a person struggling to be the master of his own soul, who uses his inner wisdom to overcome obstacles and create goodness in an imperfect world.
"In The Wings of Merlin, Barron's spectacular conclusion to this epic series, Merlin steps fully into his power as the great magician he is and comes to know the miraculous power of forgiveness. A finer end could not be found to this remarkable series. Taken as a whole, these books are like a course in living. All the deepest lessons
in life are found between the pages of these five books, books any child would be blessed to read."
—Chinaberry
"A beguiling mixture of humor, compassion, magic, and surprise defines Barron's insightful work; his characters—whether animal, vegetable, mineral, or human—are utterly believable, presented as they are in
carefully detailed realities. We live vicariously through Merlin's dreams and vision, and accept his worldview unquestioningly: We are all magic; nature is filled with wondrous, conscious beings; all existence is intricately connected."
—NAPRA Review
