And because of that they really came alive in my mind and in my heart Robert Treskillard has laid down the gauntlet for authors of pure and true epic fantasy No stone was left unturned and no emotion was hidden from the reader as they walked alongside Merlin and endured the dangerous and fearful path that has been set before him The only other fantasy author in my mind that rivals Treskillard is Patrick W Carr with his the Staff and the Sword trilogy Both of these outstanding authors have set such a high standard for fantasy that few can stand up to I anxiously await the next book in The Merlin Spiral series as I know there are even bigger and better things to come May the fortunate readers who come across this series open their heart and their mind to the endless possibilities that our loving Creator can do for and through them We are merely the instruments of His Glory.

Merlin's nightmareknoixe Here is the website for my series site_link site_link The last installment in the Merlin Spiral Merlin s Nightmare is every bit as good as the first two Everything I loved about the first two books the well developed characters the world building the action packed plot was present in this book The only minor beef I had with Merlin s Nightmare is that a lot of the persistent adventurous spirit that we had come to know and love in Merlin seemed to be missing now There is an approximately 16 year gap between this book and the previous one and Merlin is older now and has settled down with Natalenya and their family He gets reluctantly dragged into another adventure this time with Arthur calling the shots and spends what I felt was an inordinate amount of time pining to return to Natalenya and their uncomplicated life While this is certainly a sentiment that makes sense it wouldn t be very believable either to have Merlin jump at the chance to leave his comfortable home and family it was seemed so pervasive in the story that Merlin no longer seemed to have the same spirit we had come to know and love That said everything else about the story was perfect high fantasy Now I m eagerly awaiting the continuation of the saga in the Pendragon Spiral 0310735092 Why is this book excellent For at least three reasons First it continues Treskillard s realistic portrayal of Merlin I know realistic With a dragon With blue flame With evil so personified But yes Merlin is a flawed broken struggling human And he remains that way even at the end He certainly takes steps forward and backward but this is human life under God s loving hand We see his stubborn slow growth and if honest we can relate to it Second because in a literary world where the political correctness of universalism relativism humanism are common Treskillard presents a STORY a fiction a picture of imaginative life that holds true to True Principles even where the oddities of magic creatures and the supernatural are present An third because it is simply a fun read Maybe because I know after three books that solutions WILL be found even if I don t completely LIKE the solutions I can relax while reading Still feeling the tension but tension with hope instead of despair. EPub Merlin's nightmare sans Read this book And bring on the next one Robert 0310735092 As Merlin returns from convincing the king of Rheged to finally deal with the threat of the Prithager from the north he meets with Fodor envoy of High King Vortigern who is summoning men to a muster in the far south to deal with the Saxenow invasion When Arthur now around eighteen years old hears of the muster he sets off with his two friends but little does he know that the man he is going to aid is the one who murdered his father Merlin has to reach him before he gets to Vortigern But hiding in the shadows of the land is an evil even greater than Vortigern Morgana Merlin s half sister is plotting her revenge a revenge that will have all of Britain crushed beneath her heel and that of her wicked master Will Merlin realize where the true trouble is coming from before it is too late Merlin s Nightmare takes place around sixteen years after the events of Merlin s Shadow This raises somewhat of an issue because there is little time gap between the first two books of the series making the third installment feel a little distant from them Part of that may be due to the fact that the author wrote some from Arthur s point of view something that would have been difficult to do if he were only two years old Perhaps however it would have been better then to have this book be the first in the Pendragon Spiral seeing as it is setting the reader up to begin following Arthur as a main character Other than that concern however the time jump is fairly tolerable The Merlin Spiral is probably best categorized as historical fantasy The first book set the tone but the next two have jumped headlong into the fantasy part of the genre Even so it should be noted that perhaps some of the things one might assume to be pure fantasy may not be quite so far from reality as at first seems POSSIBLE SPOILERS Merlin s Nightmare certainly keeps a person turning pages especially toward the end The last chapter is a whirlwind of danger and excitement made especially effective because just before this chapter begins the reader feels like the enemy has been foiled when in fact the very plan of Morgana has been carried out by Arthur and Merlin That being said the very last part of the book the epilogue tends to drag just a bit but it also sets the reader up for the Pendragon Spiral When I was reading this book I was quite literally furious at the Prithager as they invaded Rheged The ability to evoke strong emotion in a reader is something many authors wish to do and that certainly was the case in Merlin s Nightmare But beyond this the book also points the reader unerringly toward Jesus and the hope that us Christians have for this life and beyond The religion of this series is not tacked on it is an integral part of the story flowing smoothly along with the narrative That than anything else is what makes this series work SPOILERS There is a very powerful moment toward the end of the book where Merlin is paddling madly toward a werewolf that has taken Natalenya hostage and God speaks to him In that moment . Merlin's Nightmare book the world stopped Nothing moved A flaming arrow shot from behind hung in the air to Merlin s left its flame frozen The drool from the werewolf hung floating idly from his teeth It is not hard to picture this scene time stopped all around and yet Merlin hears God s voice reminding him of what his duty is and where his true allegiance lies There are similar moments scattered throughout the series powerful reminders of what truly matters in this world And that is one of the things that makes a story worth reading problems and all 0310735092 This trilogy finished with a bang 0310735092 A very nice return to form by Robert Treskillard in the last book of the Merlin Spiral Gone are the frequent confusing visions and dreams and while dreams and visions are still found they are well placed make absolute sense and progress the plot. Merlin's nightmareknoixe Which is good because extremely dire times are upon Britain a withering drought has stricken the land The Picti are raiding to the north the Saxons are gobbling up chunks of Britain and what little of the country that is still in British lands are held by the man who murdered the rightful king Uther.

Book Merlin's nightmare If I had any critiques the ending felt a little out of place with the rest of the book and I didn t get a definitive ending the ending just felt like set up for the next book All in all however but are you ready to answer the call of this terrifying and magnificent adventure By the grace of God Merlin has finally found some peace in his life He has been granted sixteen years of happiness and bliss with his loving wife Natalenya and their two children and he has thanked God for every moment of this heaven on earth They have raised Arthur as their own and he knows nothing of his heritage or of his future He has lived the life of a carefree happy boy who has only known unconditional love and endless joy However the evil that controls Morgana has not been idle during this time Intricate plans have been set in motion that only the Creator can foil Merlin will face his greatest nightmare and Arthur will find out what kind of man he will become More sacrifices will have to be made and the greatest evil of that time will once again try to overtake and destroy them Will Merlin find the strength he needs to follow the deadly and painful path that is set before him and will Arthur prove to be the kind of King that Britain is in desperate need of This is not an easy story and it is not a happy one Nevertheless it is a battle that has to be fought and won in order to defeat those that would enslave them all Victory was not promised but help would be given if asked for it These beautifully flawed characters of Merlin and Arthur show us that the human spirit cannot be defeated so easily as long as the source of our hope and strength come from the Creator of the Universe In and of ourselves we are fearful by nature and our hearts are fickle but if we lean on the One who controls all we can overcome even the most fearsome and malevolent foe My curiosity and fascination in the Arthurian legends have been broadened and challenged by the twists and turns presented in this series I have been immensely entertained and enthralled by the level of imagination and creativity laid out before me The meticulous level of detail is captivating and wonderful and made the story so genuine that I felt like I was back in that time watching as all of these events unfolded I have felt and experienced the pain horror and joy of each of the characters and He loves each and every one of us with an incomprehensible and boundless love 0310735092 Merlin s Nightmare by Robert TreskillardArthur now eighteen is missing and Merlin must find him before a shadowy pursuer catches him first.

Merlin's nightmareal It would be hard even for King Arthur to save a Britain like this It s harder yet for Artorius young reckless and ignorant still of his heritage But many things are emerging from their hiding places and not all as welcome as the true king. Book Merlin's nightmare With Merlin s Nightmare Robert Treskillard completes the Merlin Spiral trilogy The Merlin Spiral is very much a fantasy series the magical element is strong though put into a Christian context But it is also firmly anchored in the historical reality of the fifth century so than many people may realize given how obscure the fifth century is Vortigern may have a firmer place in history than Arthur There s a sixteen year jump between the second book and the last but it works well I enjoyed seeing Arthur really enter the story I liked the father son dynamic between Arthur and Merlin naturally arising from the earlier books and I thought they shifted toward their ultimate roles as king and counselor in a subtle convincing way And though I did not initially notice it Merlin s fear contrasted with Arthur s recklessness and eventually both found their way toward the wise middle ground. Book Merlin's nightmare Guinevere was introduced in this novel providing some lighthearted moments I was also intrigued to see that Robert Treskillard made the beginning of her relationship with Arthur suitably contradicted And I wonder was Lancelot also introduced though by another name Curiously the book ends without any great triumph The heroes enjoyed smaller victories but a new disaster seemed to come on the heels of every one and it s not clear Britain is on balance better off when the fighting ended than when it began Doubtless this is partly due to the fact that the story is not over and undefeated enemies are held over for the upcoming Pendragon Spiral series Still I missed the moment of triumph I missed the satisfaction of thinking It s over and they won Merlin s Nightmare is an intriguing well written novel that blends history and myth into a fascinating innovative re telling of the Arthurian Legends I ll be keeping an eye out for the Pendragon Spiral,
