Review of Nimue: Freeing Merlin (Barnes & Noble Edition)
[Following is a volunteer review of "Nimue: Freeing Merlin (Barnes & Noble Edition)" by Ayn Cates Sullivan.]
Nimue Freeing Merlin by Ayn Cates Sullivan is fantasy fiction. The third in the Legends of the Grail series, As i have come to find out. This is my First time reading a book from front to Back. And wanting to read more! It was beyond enjoyable and full of Adventure! The way this Book Tells the story It could of been first in the series. I never felt like I had to read the previous books to understand this one. Or Know Who Nimue or Merlin was. So if you haven't been introduced to this author and you read this book First. You Don't feel like your missing anything and if u follow this series what a treat!! This Story is magical, It has everything that you would want in a book. Love , Magic, Adventure, and Pain.
In this Story You will find A young girl, Nina 17 who is currently living in New York with her mother. They leave to her mother's hometown England to Stay with her brother and get a fresh start after the passing of Nina's Father. Nina feeling like there is something more to her own story, seeks answers and ends up on a journey that you will enjoy reading about.
The details provided and the flow of the words to describe each scene and emotion. I could see it as it was happening the words came off the book and created a movie. The story is told from Nina's perspective.The way grief was detailed raw and relatable. The flow of the book was very nice it transitioned very well. It wasn't rushed or felt like you wanted more details or cut off like you were missing details. The little tokens of laughter was definitely a great add on like the gooseberry yogurt fool. As I read on the book changed as in being in view of someone watching. Exactly how I felt as if I was there watching her like a shadow. I felt immersed with her while feeling her emotions from her perspective and insight.
I really appreciated that the author took the time to research the material. So that it would be accurate and true to character.While highlighting the main character and her journey. As an added Bonus in the book You get the Glossary of The characters to familiarize yourself with in the book beforehand. And a character symbol description.
It's truly a beautiful story because we all want to know who we are and why we are and i feel like when we do find ourselves and our purpose it brings us the peace and power. To learn to be ok with all the challenges of different people we encounter even it if it is for a season. I wish this book didnt end , as i wanted it to keep going especially at the end. It's a reread for me and a bonus add on for any current or new followers.
Although there is no explicit language I would say 18 and up to read. Due the Mature scenes described. The message is Beautiful especially for a Young woman/teen. Definitely a good read I highly recommend.With a few errors. There was nothing to dislike. I give it a deserving 4 out of 4 stars. I would recommend it to lovers of mythological books. So if your a fan of Sword in the Stone and Labyrinth i felt like this was a combination of those 2 books. Enjoy and happy reading!!
