The Hedge of Mist
Patrica Kennealy-Morrison
Kennealy-Morrison, Patricia. The Hedge of Mist. Lizard Queen Productions, Inc. New York, NY. 1996.
The Hedge of Mist is a book about danger that turns to romance and back to danger again. Patricia Kennealy-Morrison has written many terrible books but this is by far her worst.
The Hedge of Mist starts out with King Arthur running from ooger-swagers (strange green monsters) in the forest. He gets surrounded and his back is to the edge of a cliff. A vivid light blinds the foul beasts and makes him stumble off the cliff. Arthur then wakes up in his bed; it was only a dream. Then the room goes pitch black and a being appears. It warns Arthur of the bright light from his dream. The life form also says that any dreams Arthur has are really visions of the future of what will happen if he does not stop the light being, from his dream, soon.
The next day, Arthur meets Carcy and immediately falls in love. Arthur notices that she always seems to wear bright clothes. Arthur gets suspicious. That night, Arthur tells the strange being about the girl and the dark life form says that the girl is the light in disguise. The next morning Arthur finds the girl and threatens her with his trusty Excalibur (his dog who likes to bite) and she turns into the light from his dreams. She tells another story, warning him of the dark being that likes to mess with people's dreams and show up by their bedside to turn them against her. She says that the dark life form wants to rule the world.
Arthur and the light stakeout at Arthur's house that night and wait for the dark being to come. At 2:00 AM the dark life form appears and the light being and the dark being have a epic fight that continues for the rest of the book.
The Hedge of Mist is a very interesting book but after many chapters of the same battle, this book becomes the most boring book you have ever read. This is a terrible book and is a disgrace to the book world.
