The Lost Years of Merlin

This took me f-o-r-e-v-e-r to read. I started it via audiobook while working on the elliptical. Then I finally finished with the book. I just didn't get into it that much. Not the right book at the right time? I usually enjoy Merlin legends.

A boy washes up on a beach with no memory of who he is or where he belongs. A woman is also there. She claims to be his mother, but won't answer his questions. He has powers, leaves town, gets to the mythical Fincayra, meets Rhia, befriends a merlin he names Trouble, . . . yeah. It had a lot going on.

I'm not giving up on this author, but I'll definitely just grab a physical copy of the next title of his that I try.
