Wow, incredible book. A true literary classic 😉

Jokes aside this was really fun to read. I'm a huge fan of the series so it was fun to relive one of the episodes in book form.

Seems to be a theme lately of me taking too long to read a book. I just haven't been in the mood to read or listen to audiobooks honestly. Even when it's Merlin, my favorite tv show

Just like the other books in this Merlin series I loved this one. If you’ve watched the show you’ll probably enjoy these books, I know I did!

As the only novelisation of any Season Three episodes, this was a great read. Especially because it allowed for more of an insight into Morgana's feelings and motivations, which was something sadly lacking in the TV series.

I also enjoyed the various points of view the novel offered from Uther to Sir Leon and the sense of tension the last chapters offered.

Really enjoyed reading this and recapping the episode. Well written with good observations of the Merthur relationship.
