Merlin’s Knot
by Raven C.S. Mccracken
What a ride! Interwoven
in this story are ancient secrets, magic reborn and Incan knot codes tied to
Celtic symbols. Add the famous Merlin’s account of sacred and secret rituals
written in a book desired by the hands, both good and evil, and you have one
great story!
Alan Clark
discovers the key to the meaning behind the intricate Celtic symbols and makes
his way to the resting place of Merlin’s book of knowledge. This begins a
string of events that tear Alan and his friends from normal life to the
extraordinary.
I really enjoyed
the mingling of different ancient cultures. There’s enough potential truth to presentation
of magic that you almost feel like you could light or extinguish a fire with
the casual flip of your hand. I enjoyed the imagination that went into this book.
I wish the story stretched out a little longer and gone a little more in depth
with the technical details concerning the interpreting of the Celtic knots. That being said the action and clever introduction of artificial intelligence and nano-technology easily kept my attention.
I would recommend
this book to any young adult or adult that wants a quick adventure. Be aware there are a few swear words, but they
are used artistically to emphasize emotion.
