My Husban Wants A Trio

A little Merlin

I just finished The Black Grail Christian de Montella, initially bought for my son aged 14 and finalemen Le graal noir does it by me.
is a story of young Merlin, told by his "adoptive father", a monk who follows him, trying to help, and writing his life ... The theme is not entirely new of course - I remember one of Barjavel, read many moons ago but not forgotten. But it has its own identity.
FĂ©nicino He has not hung and dropped it, I think because of the very important place left to sexuality, explicitly told as political intrigue. This is not (yet) a cup of tea ... this is not really a book for the 13/14 years waiting to share, magic and more action ... I think there casting error from Flammarion book by classifying the youth, and I come back, it's not very productive for the writer in my opinion.
me, that sex and politics is not afraid, I liked the ambivalence of Me, his struggle to remain human (although it is a half-devil). I liked the descriptions of magical phenomena at work. I also liked the care taken to remind the Romans, the Celts, the noise and smell of life in a castle at the time ... After - because critics found here and there on the net are not very nice - I recognize a surface side due ; in my opinion classification in youth collection. The author is probably not going after his ideas / insights ... Still, I think I would buy more ...
