The Daily Mail has commented on the novel, stating that it is 'an absorbing and haunting novel' and the Evening Standard book review has stated that The Last Enchantment is a 'fascinating novel'. The book was received well by critics and fans alike. The author also wrote the story to further explore the character of the Wizard Merlin and his life. The story was written by the author to explore Arthurian legend and to re-tell the story of King Arhur, who had become King after extracting the sword Excalibur out of the stone. She later replaces him in court as Wizard-seer and he retires to a cave to live a life as a hermit. Merlin also takes on his own apprentice, Niniane, and teaches her everything he knows. Merlin has foreseen that Mordred will cause Arthur's death and so Merlin keeps an eye on him. There is also the impending threat of Mordred, Arthur's illegitimate son. However, other Lords in Britain want to take Arthur's throne and Merlin secretly tries to stop them. In the story, Arthur is now King and is working hard to unify all of Britain and establish Camelot as the centrepoint of government. The story revolves around the reign of Arthur Pendragon of Britain, and the novel is told from the perspective of a clairvoyant and the Wizard Merlin.

BUT NEVER waste your time and money on the abridged versions.These notes were contributed by members of the GradeSaver community. And Derek Perkins reads the tales with sensitivity, feeling and an easy to listen to grace that adds charm and meaning to the experience. If you don't, rush out and start reading or listening to The Crystal Cave at once! Great story telling, history that makes you feel as if you were there, characters that you care about and identify with, magic so organic to the story that it feels natural, one of the best interpretations of the story of King Arthur and Merlin and their backgrounds that I have ever read. If you know the previous books in the series you don't really need me to tell you about this, you know what to expect. I know that she later added "The Wicked Day", but I have never found that book as satisfying as the first three. I don't know if this book could stand alone, but for those who have read (or listened to the unabridged audiobook versions) the previous books in this series, The Crystal Cave and the Hollow Hills, this is a perfect rendering of the third part of Mary Stewart's "Merlin Trilogy".
