It focuses more on a new main character, rather than focusing on Merlin. This book is a bit different than the previous books in the series. This book was a quick read, it took me about 3 hours to read. I would recommend this book for younger teens or tweens, as older teens might get bored with this book, because the plot might be a bit slow for their liking. The beginning is unusual and provides a nice timeline of the events The Dragon of Avalon is the 6th book in T. The Dragon of Avalon is the 6th book in T. It made me want to read the second book, but (view spoiler). I liked the ending, but part of me wonders if it sort of made all the introspection and lessons pointless. And T.A Barron is honestly just a great writer, at least I thought so from the one book I've read.
#Merlin season 5 episode 1 light creature full
So many different realms full of so many different creatures.I loved reading about it. It wasn't super complex or anything, but man was it awesome. It would have been cool to have some real fear relating to that. But there just isn't that fear that Basil won't get to Merlin in time, that he won't be successful. I think those parts were very well-written and captivating, although you pretty much know Basil will get out alive. In each realm (Stoneroot, Waterroot, Woodroot, Shadowroot, Fireroot, Mudroot, Airroot) that gets visited there is a problem that results in a bit of suspense. My problem with the story is that there really isn't any overall urgency to the story. But for a very large portion of the book readers are sort of along for the ride as Basil visits each realm of Avalon searching for Merlin. I have mixed feelings about the overall plot. And Basil is the only one who know this and he has to go on an adventure to find and warn the wizard Merlin. Oh, and that the evil Rita Gawr has plans to take over the beautiful world of Avalon. All he really knows is that 1) he wants to be bigger and 2) no one seems to have ever seen a creature like him. I've read a lot of fantasy books, and a lot of them are great with handling characters and their growth and themes, but I can't think of any that have really focused on those things quite like this one.Īnyhow, the story focuses on a tiny (and I mean TINY) little creature named Basil who has no idea what he is or where he came from. Turns out this book is VERY introspective and focused on character development, which is surprising. I didn't really remember anything about the book except that it was about a dragon named Basil and he had to battle against some dark evil thing. I really think this book is part of what started my love of fantasy books, especially fantasy books that focus on dragons. Ever since then I've wanted to reread it because I really loved it, but only now am I getting into it. I read this book a very long time ago, when I was maybe 10 years old.
Barron's most thrilling adventures yet and features a new and unforgettable character in his earliest years.moreģ.5 Stars I read this book a very long time ago, when I was maybe 10 years old.
It's a race against time and across Avalon as Basil, with the help of the faithful wind sister Ailah, searches for the great wizard to warn him. But it is clear that Basil is much more than he seems when he stumbles into an encounter with the great Merlin, saving his child's life, then uncovers a secret plot by the evil Rhita Gawr. The unlikely hero-Basil, he is called-cannot find a single creature like itself nor a person who can tell him what he is. But it is clear that Basil In the years after Fincayra disappears and Merlin has been sent wandering, a young lizard-like creature, with the wings of a bat and the magical power to produce any smell it encounters, is born into the new world of Avalon.
