Publisher's summary

Although the legend of King Arthur has been told many times, rarely have the villains of the tale been given voices. Here, the treacherous half-sister of Arthur tells the fantastic story of her life, from her tragic childhood to the moment she realizes her fated role in the King's downfall. This is the perfect companion to Nancy Springer's I Am Mordred, an ALA Best Book for Young Adults.

a fantasy and we sculpting of Morgan la Fey

The story is good and interesting, but it is read in such a slow and ominous manner that detracts from the story.

Hypnotic

Readers should be aware that this novel is a companion to Nancy Springer’s award winning I am
Mordred and draws from the Legend of Arthur as inspiration for portraying the villainess of the
legend—Morgan Le Fey. The reader follows young Morgan as she comes into her powers and
determined to refuse the fate that is bestowed upon her, further binds herself to be fate. Readers
follow Morgan’s downward spiral from a fiercely independent girl to a woman who would do
anything to protect what she yearns for. The novel has lyrical prose that is accentuated even
more so with the help of Jenny Sterlin as narrator. One can easily slip into the thrall of the
novel’s medieval, fantasy landscape. Luckily, the magical setting of the novel can make the
material applicable to contemporary teens from the ages of 13 upwards. I would believe that this
tale still holds relevance to readers because of Springer’s ability to make one have empathy for
the famous villainess of the Legend of Arthur, and to sate one’s curiosity for the legend itself.

Reader is overdramatic. Too many dramatic pauses.

Super fantastic book; I love the story. I love all things King Arthur and having a story with authenticity is important. The reader, however, is a little overdramatic and uses too many dramatic pauses.

Very Much Enjoyed

I am fairly obsessed with Morgan Le Fay lore, so I tend to pick up any book about her. This one was different, focusing on her childhood and early years. I was able to listen to it via a free trial of Audible Escape, which apparently is a subscription of romance novels (?), but this novel did not fit into that category if you ask me (which is a good thing). I enjoyed it quite a bit.

A beautiful fairy tale with bite

I loved this book. It is beautifully written, the characters are all well developed, and the story is unpredictable (unusual in ''villian back story" novels). The story fills me with nostalgia for my childhood, when I loved hearing stories of knights and princesses and castles... but it adds enough serious, grown-up elements that I think a 13 year old and a 33 year old can both read and enjoy it. love love love this book. Take a risk on this hidden gem!

Gentle side of Morgan

Very intimate telling of Morgan's thoughts, relationships and training as well as the struggles she went through. She is quite likeable in this version. I will try other books by this author.

I wanted to love it

I was disappointed, by the time the story took off it was over. It felt like a waste of time.
