The Crystal Cave

Seeing Merlin as the protagonist adds depth and complexity, but I wonder what led the author to focus on his point of view rather than King Arthur or others.

The way magic is woven into the historical setting made it feel authentic, almost like an ancient history rather than pure fantasy. Did this enhance the immersion for others?

His internal struggles and self-awareness felt very personal. I’m curious how others see his character arc and whether it changed how they view the legend.
