I am a teen librarian. I had been debating how many copies of The Other Merlin to purchase for our library system. Luckily I won a copy from Bookish First. After devouring the book in one sitting, I decided to order a copy for each of our branches. I loved this reimagining of Camelot and I think our teens will too.

Emry Merlin is a much better wizard than her twin brother Emmett. He gets summoned to court to serve as an apprentice wizard but id injured and is unable to go. Emry disguises herself as her brother and goes in his place. The fast paced comedy adventure will have you cheering for Emry. I enjoyed getting introduced to the rest of the court and hope to find out more about them in upcoming books. People who are Arthur legend purists may not like the liberties taken with story but I thoroughly enjoyed them and the inclusive cast of characters. Long live Arthur and his wizard Emry.
