Barbara Says...

Finally finished book one and know I am behind schedule.  Me favorite character so far is Merlyn.  I think it would be most confusing to spend your life in a timeline backwards from everyone else.  But I guess if you have to keep up with cross species communication and magic - attention to the details of time would be a minor concern.  I enjoyed the fantasy of learning by becoming an animal.  Though I dislike the books tendency to be so detailed about the environment and sequence of events, yet seemingly disconnected between chapters.  Admittedly there may be obvious connections and importance of said details that I am missing. I intend to read the referenced discussion questions before continuing with book two.  Hoping for some focus to spur my reading.  As usual I began reading without any information about the book and just recently realized there were three books.  A lofty goal for a monthly reading group, at least for me.  But I am newly inspired to keep reading about young Wart and his new found Kingship.  I just can't promise I will make the deadline.
