Narrative In Pursuance Of Books Chasing Merlin
When Dyllan Carter ships off to London to start a Master's in Medieval Literature, she expects to spend a lot of time in the library, to write a lot of papers, and to develop acute tendinitis before she finishs her thesis on the difference between Merlin the myth and Merlin the man. What she didn't expect was Emrys. After their initial crash-meeting in the tunnels of the underground, she seems to bump into him everywhere: in the library and even on the street. He knows almost as much as she does about her subject area - and he's not even in school! His actions are sometimes awkward, and very out-of-the-blue - often to the level of absurdity. So when he offers to give her a tour of the old places in Wales - not far from his home - she can't help but wonder who fate has brought her. As the legends get closer and the journey becomes more dangerous, Dyllan finds more questions and fewer answers. Will she be able to finish her thesis? Or is this her life’s final chapter?

LOVED IT! SO GLAD I BOUGHT IT! WOULD'VE BEEN VERY VERY SAD IF I HAD TO GIVE IT BACK TO THE LIBRARY! One of the rare occasions when I've bought a book before reading it and I'm so glad I did. It was fantastic. I loved the story, so cool. Gotta love mention of BBC's Merlin and Colin Morgan. Problem with that was when it came to Emrys I saw him as Colin Morgan so bit freaky.....Towards the end I was super super scared that he'd die and Dyllan would be the new guardian of the Pendragons and such butFirst book of the 2016! I got it for my birthday and was excited to read it that I dived into it a couple of days after I got it! I've had a busy schedule this past week and it's taken me a while to get through it! I liked that this book read as a contemporary with the elements of magic being weaved into the story very nicely. However, I did have a few issues with the book as a whole. Especially some parts near the ending that I don't want to get into because of spoilers. What I can say is, I
A spectacular new take on the Merlin legend. True, some parts are a little unbelievable, but the book is fast-paced in comparison to others on the same subject and is a fun read. I was truly glad that I got it.
It was riveting in a way that you can't put it down. I hadn't actually been able to devote time to this before today--not in the way I wanted to. Dyllan and Emrey are the characters that make you hope for a better tomorrow. The fact that humanity can be more important than a very old myth-- and that's what is really important. Good work, Sarah!
I truly enjoyed and loved the book. I've always enjoy Merlin and Arthur legends and to see it written so differently in this book was amazing. I loved the quotes at the beginning of each chapter and the last one, also the mention of BBCs Merlin. Over all the story was alittle rushed and had a few gaps but it was amazing. One of my favorite books of the year so far.
I really liked the story. It shows that in legends there might be a bit of truth and for those of us who have never stopped looking out for unicorns, it's a great book to read (though there are no unicorns in the book :-D )What I wasn't too happy about were the typos, the fact that British people used American words like "gotten" or "auto", and the fact that the writer is convinced that men are "blonde".I find quite amusing that she states in the book that the Europeans drive on the left.
