Magic!
Dreams! Adventure! Merlin! Arthur and his knights!
‘The
Last Knight’ begins a bit slowly but picks up when Cara meets Lance, Wyn, and
Percy. Her strange dreams always seem to
come true, and with her mother in a mental institution, her father brings her
to a therapist when she can no longer sleep through the night. I enjoyed the
dialog, the teasing and flirting, between the main characters, as well as
homage to Arthur/Merlin legends. I found it refreshing that a romance developed
slowly, rather than the all-too-common insta-love in YA novels.
The
best part of this novel was the time travel portion; it was exciting and
brought a new level of adventure and exploration to the tale. Cara’s character
also matured for having taken this trip.
The ending, however, was the least impressive part of the tale. The
ending wasn’t so much a cliffhanger; it plainly many left things unresolved.
Received
a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
