The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin Review

Feb 18, 2026

Taliesin by Stephen R. Lawhead was one of the first fantasy books I read all by myself.

My dad had already read me The Chronicles of Narnia, The Spirit Flyer Series, The Prydain Chronicles, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings… and I had already fallen in love with the genre. I can’t tell you how many times I read and re-read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings (especially The Two Towers) over and over after he read them to us the first time.

But Taliesin was a gift from some family friends who, upon hearing that I liked fantasy, handed me a copy and told me I would love it.

I was 12.

Meet the author

Jenelle Leanne Schmidt

Jenelle first fell in love with stories through her father’s voice reading books aloud each night. A relentless opener-of-doors in hopes of someday finding a passage to Narnia, it was only natural that she soon began making up fantastical realms of her own. Jenelle currently resides in the wintry tundra of Wisconsin —which she maintains is almost as good as Narnia — with her knight-in-shining armor and their four hobbits. When she is not writing, she homeschools said hobbits and helps them along on their daily adventures... which she says makes her a wizard.

Welcome, Dear Reader

You are stronger than you think. You are braver than you think.

Courage is not about an absence of fear, it is making the choice to face your fear and not let it rule you.

In my stories, you will travel to new worlds with vivid landscapes. You will meet characters who will become your friends. You will go on adventures and fulfill quests and overcome obstacles.

You will be home in time for dinner… but you will not go home unchanged.

Here, you will find a haven from the darkness of the world around you, and when you close the book, my great hope is that you will have found the strength to face that darkness, knowing you are not alone.
