“Fortress of Mist” is Book Two in the Merlin’s Immortals series written by Sigmund Brouwer; the follow up to “The Orphan King”.
The “Fortress of Mist” picks up, easily enough, precisely were “The Orphan King” left off. The story continues his struggle as to which side he will join, when he himself still has no idea who the sides are. Throughout the story he begins to discover ONE side, but his questions remained entirely unanswered as to which is the “right” side.
The book was a quick read, with lots of short chapters {which I like}. The story flowed, with many moments of revelation of some sorts for the reader. The story is relatively good, although rather basic in it’s telling, which is ok with me, because I’m not looking to read anything exceptionally heady at the end of the day.
I am still trying to figure out how this series of books fits in with Merlin of Arthurian legend, as none of the characters bare any names or resemblance to characters in those stories. I’m hoping that as the story line progress the author will somehow tie the series into Arthur’s; particularly since that was one of the main reasons for reading this series.
I received this book for free from Waterbrook Multnomah, as part of their Blogging for Books program. The opinions expressed here are my own.
