I'm a huge Arthur/Merlin fan & this book (& the rest of the series) is IMHO the best out there. But, it you are looking for "real" magic this may not be the book for you. Stewart shows how Merlin dazzled everyone with his amazing accomplishments in mostly an explainable way. There is some minor magic, but most of it is skill. I highly recommend Stewart's trilogy (the last book on Mordrid is not so good) to anyone who loves adventure, romance & just all-around great fiction.
