The Pendragon Cycle remind me of one of those fan fictions where the main character goes through the entire storyline miserable and at the end has a chance to go back in time to redo everything. Once he goes back he becomes this sarcastic, no fucks given, all knowing, putting everyone in their place menace to society. And I love that for Merlin.

Ya me disgustaba la serie de Merlin de la BBC por un montón de motivos; pero ahora que salió la adaptación del ciclo Pendragon (de la cual tengo muchos sentimientos encontrados y opiniones -y en su mayoría negativas-)... puedo confirmar que dentro del fandom de Arthuriana los fans de Merlin de la BBC son los peores. ¡Ni siquiera les importa el mito, sólo su ship!

Merlin de la BBC tuvo un gran cast pero fue una adaptación bastante mediocre.

¡Ya dejen de comparar a su Merlin con éste! Ya sabemos que "no es tu Merlin", a nadie le importa, cállate.

Si, ya se que "no todas". Pero en su mayoría

Taliesin - Stephen Lawhead

3/5 - Interesting characters, very much a prequel. Spoilers below!

This book served as a prelude to the classic Arthurian legend, and it places itself in the British Isles (Wales, to be more specific). Lawhead takes a pretty creative approach to bringing the Arthurian legend from strictly/mostly fantasy to being grounded in the real world. Obviously the fantastical elements are still there, but most of them seem to be attributed to Christian spiritual journeys instead of the classic Druidism, like that shown in BBC's Merlin for example.

I went into this recognizing the Pendragon name and was very thrown off to not be entering into the traditional beginning of this legend. That said, the Atlantean plotline was a lot of fun. Charis is a determined young woman, but the whole backing plot of her evil younger sister (Morgana, spelled differently) was lost on me. It's much less sympathetic to women than I was hoping.

Similarly, Taliesin was an engaging character, but it takes over a hundred pages before we really meet him as a young man. It just feels like this book started a little earlier than was prudent. We get lost in the weeds of court politics and village disputes before the story has a chance to really start.

The conversion to Christianity in the third act of the book also starts to feel really preachy, which I didn't appreciate. Lawhead's prose prior to this is fairly enjoyable, but it's not something that immediately captured my interest.

“That Arthur has not always existed seems odd to me. Like the wind on the moors and the wild winter stars, surely he has always lived… and always will.” ― Stephen R. Lawhead, Arthur ☺️
