Review: The Crystal Cave

The Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book held up well given my glowing remembrance from when I read it in the 70s. Merlin is likeable and well drawn, as are the other characters in the novel. Sadly, it is a bit aged in its attitude toward the women in the tale, but then they were pretty much pawns at the time, so I shouldn't mind so much.

Terms of Enlistment by Marko Kloos
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Exciting and nicely done space opera with lots of action. Also, gave me nightmares of my early years : Officer Training School.

Looking forward to continuing this series.
