reviewed The broken kings by Robert Holdstock (Book three of The Merlin codex)

Review of 'The broken kings' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

The third book of the Merlin Codex concludes the story of Medea, Jason and her sons but suffers the same problems as volume 2 - Urtha's land is under threat again but he is given very little to do and is something of a non-entity. The growing animosity between him and his own son never really goes anywhere and the plot rambles.

Only the first volume of this series shows Holdstock at his best.
