3.5 rating. Has some intense dark moments - some good moments overall - and while not all threads need to come to closure, there were story threads in this novel that I felt should have seen closure or presented more backstory(view spoiler)[, i.e., why Dinatius kills orphans. I personally don't care for the concept of the Fincayran's having wings, and how they lost those wings. The buildup to the battle was good, but the defeat of Rita Gawr was a weak point in the defeat. Also felt it was a bit

I was pleased by the ending of the book and felt that all my questions were answered; it had a very satisfying ending, which is good after reading through 5 books.The story moves pretty quickly and was quite interesting throughout. I never felt bored during any part of this book. I was always eager to find out the story behind the people loosing their wings, and I can say that I was satisfied! I

This one was completely new to me. After the fifth time around, Barron's slights become painfully obvious. Cliffhanger after cliffhanger, moments of crisis solved by a constant stream of deus-ex-machina, Jar-Jar Binks-like characters, a slew of moralizing, and buildup is really only repetition. Midway though, I was prepared to really like this book, because, for once, he had written extended scenes and clever situations, but the way the major crisis in the book was resolved was probably one of

A Wizards Wings is the fifth book in T. A. Barrons Merlin series. It was an okay book, and I would recommend it to younger teens or tweens, as older teens and adults would definitely get bored with this book. It was a short read, it took me about 3 hours to read. It is a quicker paced book than the previous books in this series, with an urgent tone to it. The introduction of a new secondary villain was interesting. The beginning was a bit slow, but it quickly got into the action. The ending was

Last book in the series- wrapped things up with a bow while pointing towards the rest of merlins story.After having read my way through this series for the first time after reading the first book many times as a teen I dont think the series itself is as gripping as the first book. Its a bit formulaic, but still a good book and worth the read.3.5 rating.
