The Hollow Hills: The Arthurian Saga, Book 2 (Abridged) Audiobook

" The Mists of Avalon ruined any other Arthur legend tales for me. I know this is a famous and well-loved version of the story (written by a woman, even), but it's just too Christian and patriarchal for me. "

" By far one of my favorite series. If you love Arthurian legend, you have to read this. "

" Liked this one when I read it in Junior high. Good fantasy. I'd probably like it again. "

" Initially, this did not have the impact of "The Crystal Cave", but the author skillfully salvages the tale with a bang-up ending that makes the effort most worthwhile. "

" This book is better paced than Mary Stewart's first, but I always felt as if I was waiting, waiting, waiting, until one little moment happened...and then I went back to waiting some more. This sequel is about Arthur's upbringing and his ascension to the throne. "

" This series is based on Arthurian legend and mostly focuses on Merlin. The novels are big enough for epic: lush landscapes, well drawn characters, engaging adventure that explains and expands the mythical stories of Merlin. "

" You do need an Excalibur, if you have a Guneviere in your life! "

" I really remember this set of stories and I really enjoyed them when I was 12 or 13. Need to re-read them definitely. "

" Mary Stewart continues the story of King Arthur and Merlin with her captivating writing style! "

" Very good and interesting story based on the legend of King Arthur. "

" Another good Merlin book by Mary Stewart "

" Read in sequence during my high school Arthurian phase. Continues the story, but from Merlin's point of view. I liked this different take on it. If you're looking for flashy magic, however; this is not the place to find it -- these are more about the political machinations than anything else. "

" The second book in this most excellent trilogy. The story develops beautifully with Merlin showing much more of his vulnerable side and the intriguing and politics makes for an amazing journey. "

" I enjoy series books and this one didn't disappoint me. "

" Slow starting and seemed to drag a bit through the first two sections, but picks up nicely after that. "

" Excellent Arthurian historical fantasy continues. "

" I don't know much about the time of King Arthur. While I know this is only one person's ideas, I enjoyed this story and particularly Mary Stewart's writing style. "

" Mary Stewart is a great storyteller. I recently re-read this series and enjoyed it as much as I did 25 years ago. "

" I really liked this book, partially because Merlin travels to interesting places, but also because this is the part of the Arthurian legend I like best: Arthur as a boy, and how he becomes king. I have a small quibble with the way Stewart portrays Morgause, but other than that, an excellent book. "

" Marvellous read. "

" It's pretty good, although it doesn't have too much unusual in it. I've only read the series once I think, maybe some books twice. An easy read, but a little too conventional to be worthy of priority on your queue. "

" It was a great ending to a memorable trilogy "

" This whole series had be enchanted all the way through. Unlike many series', it's consistent in quality and reads like a continual story that you can't put down. One of these days I'll read some of Mary Stewart's other work. "

" I really enjoyed this book. I was really into it. The first book in the series was a hard go at first, but this is a different aspect of the Arthur legend - mainly following Merlin. Very interesting, and very much enjoyed "

" Not much to add to my last review, but I will note: the latest editions of these books may have the worst covers ever. Seriously, who would want to read a book with those pictures on the front. That's one area where the book reader is useful. "

" My favorite of the Arthurian Saga. I love the education of Arthur. Merlin knows who he is, is solid in his power, and ... it's my favorite. "

" I really enjoyed this book. I was really into it. The first book in the series was a hard go at first, but this is a different aspect of the Arthur legend - mainly following Merlin. Very interesting, and very much enjoyed "

" The story of the young Arthur, told once more through the eyes of Merlin. "

" Part of the Arthurian stories...so, of course I loved it! "

" Not much to add to my last review, but I will note: the latest editions of these books may have the worst covers ever. Seriously, who would want to read a book with those pictures on the front. That's one area where the book reader is useful. "

" Great second book. Really looking forward to the rest of the series. "

" A great Arthurian trilogy that I read when I was younger. "

" I love how the legend of King Arthur is told from the view of Merlin. Great Read!!! "

" I'm not sure when I read it "

" This follows the Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart. The story of Merlin and Arthur continues; just wonderful. "

" I enjoy this author, so bought this used book when I found it. I enjoyed her take on the legend of Merlin and Arthur. This book is about the Arthur's young years before the sword, but from Merlin's point of view. "
