The Wicked Day by Mary Stewart

5.0

What an epic series! Start to finish it read so consistently and beautifully. What I love the most about the series (in addition to the writing) is the rendering of Merlin not as a fire throwing wizard in a pointy velvet hat, but rather a fragile man, and an introvert with many flaws. Book four is more focused on Arthur and Mordred, but one can’t help always feeling Merlin in the background, and of course we must see if his prophecy comes to fruition.
