This book was an exciting, intriguing, adventurous read filled with magical, mystical, and paranormal elements!!
I really enjoyed that this book was a modern day follow up to the classic Sword and the Stone fairy-tales and mythologies that many of us have grown up with.
I liked that Miss Ardis made sure all the lore love was ever so present front and center as she made sure King Arthur, Guinevere, Merlin, Lady of the Lake, Excalibur, and Camelot were all included and incorporated into the moderniz ...more

I received this book for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

This book’s description really grabbed me. I’m a big fan of mythology stories, and I like a good helping of Arthurian lore, too. Toss in a magic school, and you basically had me at hello. Unfortunately, I wasn’t as drawn in by this as I hoped, which was disappointing.
The concept for this story is fantastic. The sword in the stone lands in modern-day America, an ...more

Eowlyn (A-o-lin) Patience is a foster kid. Used to being on her own and taking care of herself, she is suddenly thrust into a life of magic and wizards. She might even be capable of a little magic herself! The famous sword in the stone has returned, plummeting to earth in Trafalgar Square with such force that it causes a worldwide tremor and people begin lining up to see if they are the one who can pull Excalibur from the stone once again.

In Gods of Merlin, Priya Ardis has written an action-filled adventure likely to appeal to teenage fans of the fantasy genre.
What I liked best:
1. I’ve got a fond spot for females who get to be the chosen one (for once) and I found Eowlyn to be particularly likable. I rooted for her from the start.
2. I’m a life long fan of the many variations of the King Arthur tale and it was fun to see it given a new twist.

Wow! My mind is reeling after reading this book. I do love a good retelling of a fairytale or myth and that is what we have here ladies and gents. A pretty amazing retelling of the story of King Arthur and Camelot! We have olde English names, Excalibur, magic, Merlin, training, battles, gargoyles, trials, the Lady of the Lake, threats and the ever-present question of just who is the rightful heir? How could this not be exciting, I ask you? And it was, it was. The only thing I found it lacking wa

EAGADS! What a twisted tale!! Although quite a bit long, there was never a dull moment. I loved Ewolyn Patience who was not-patient but she was in foster care and was moved around so much that she learned a golden rule to never trust adults. Busted when she stole a prom dress for the older girl living with her foster parents. throwing the dress inside, she slipped through security and headed home only only the door for a deliveryman handing her a package. All of a sudden. she invited to England

Waited so long for this
I loved the original series and always hoped Matt/Merlin would find love. I thought it interesting how the little princess Vane saved ended up being brought to the future to interfere with the original story, but ended up helping Ryan get the sword. I loved the whole story, can’t wait for the next book.

Can't wait to dive back into this action-packed and steamy world!

I have a ton of mixed feelings when it comes to this book. I love just about anything to do with Arthurian lore and thought I'd feel the same about this book. Yes and no.
I thought the m.c. was great, doing what needed to be done, until the end anyways. After awhile she really started to get on my nerves. Merlin and Vane were alright, but I'm not a big fan of insta-love.

“Beside me, Matt reached for my barf bag with a green-tinged face. “These things are metal death contraptions.”
“Go find your own.” I swiped back the bag. As the plane pulled around to get in line for takeoff, I clutched the paper bag close. ”
