The fourth book in the Lost Years of Merlin series lacks the polish and panache of the first three, and readers may find the silly dialect of the ballymag downright annoying. But fans who have followed young Merlin through his many adventures will still enjoy tracking with him as he and Hallia meet up with marsh ghouls; his nemesis, Nimue; a young Arthur; and a much older version of himself.
