Gets better as you get into the middle part of the book.
I was given this book as a gift and I have always been fascinated by Merlin, King Arthur, and the Knights of the Roundtable so I figured I would enjoy this book. The Mirror of Merlin is written by T.A. Barron, and it is appropriate for kids 10+. The book follows the adventures of a young Merlin who travels to an exciting and dangerous underground world where he is challenged to use his knowledge and curiosity to battle evil forces. I would rate this book 4 stars because the beginning is a little slow, but the plot picks up about 100 pages into the story. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep readers on the edge of their seat and the ending is definitely satisfying. Overall, I recommend this book.
