The Book of Merlyn by T.H. White

Goodreads Blurb: This magical account of King Arthur’s last night on earth spent weeks on the New York Times best-seller list following its publication in 1977.

Even in addressing the profound issues of war and peace, The Book of Merlyn retains the life and sparkle for which White is known. The tale brings Arthur full circle, an ending, White wrote, that “will turn my completed epic into a perfect fruit, ’rounded off and bright and done.'”

Rating: ⭐️⭐️

Goodreads Review: By far and away the weakest of the series – honestly I would recommend giving it a skip unless you’re deeply invested in hearing Merlin navel gaze about war and the nature of man for more than half the page count. I enjoyed the scenes with the geese and Arthur’s walk with the hedgehog, but other than that – my God was this a boring book.
