    About this audiobook

    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.

      This book is about the early beginnings of Camelot and King Arthur... from Morgan le Fay's point of view. Books that take the traditional villain of a story and turn them into "the good guy" are always interesting to read.This book is written in a poetic way that reminded me of Tolkien or Elizabeth E. Wein.The plot isn't exactly thrilling... but it is certainly enjoyable and never dull.If you want another girl-magic book read "A Great and Terrible Beauty." If you want another villian-is-actually-the-good-guy book, read "Wicked."
    • 4/5
      A very nice addition to the body of works featuring a female-centric, pagan-influenced take on the Arthurian mythos.
      It's not as complex as 'The Mists of Avalon' (which it is clearly influenced by), but it shares some of the same themes.

      Here, we see events from Morgan's point of view, as she grows up in tune with old magics, and discovers a stone that enhances her powers. Hurt by the traumatic events that shake her family, she is often blind to her own faults - but she is also not unsympathetic.

      The events told here largely deal with Morgan le Fay's youth, her growing up, her first love, and the forces that formed her character and led her to, later, do the things her legend tells of.

      The flavor of the story reminded me a bit of 'King Arthur's Daughter,' by Vera Chapman.

      This is a different look at Morgan, how she became Fay and what the means. It was alright as far as books goes, I didn't see her as a strong character as she has been in other books but I did like the way it looked at all aspects of her character.
    • 3/5
      In the end, I have to say that I enjoyed Springer's writing and the details offered to this piece of the legends, and it was a fast and well-paced YA read, beautifully written for the most part. On the other hand, the focal points Springer chose sometimes made it feel less like a YA novel than like a bare-bones writing of an adult work, and I feel pretty sure that I'd be more likely to give the more adult versions of Arthurian works to interested teens, as opposed to this work. I also have to say that it ended incredibly quickly--for the first three quarters of the book, Springer's pacing felt perfect and controlled, but all of that felt lost in the end. On the whole, there were moments when I really enjoyed this read, but I'm just not sure that it's something I'd feel the need to pass on or recommend above others.

      A tale of Morgan Le Fey as a young child growing in to maturity. It tells the Arthurian myths from a different perspective and how she becomes the nemesis of King Arthur. As a young girl she has always been different with her mis-matched fey eyes and she sees Uther the night he visits her mother to concieve Arthur in disguise. Igraine and Uther marry soon after and when he dies Morgan, her sister Morgause and their nurse flee Tintagel before they are killed by those looking to get rid of the heirs.On the journey they discover their nurse is more than she seems. They also have help and company from a young man named Thomas whose story contains references to True Thomas from fairy tale. After Morgan recieves a sending (a type of dream/vision) she knows she must journey to Avalon to further her magical training. She meets more of the fey, goddesses and the Master of the Hunt. She has fallen in love with Thomas, but he is fated to die in battle which Morgan hopres to prevent.I enjoyed this short tale and liked the addition of Thomas, their nurse and the Master of the Hunt. The addition of more fey and fairy tale elements fit in really well and made it a little different from other re-tellings. It's a very easy read as the writing style is very lyrical and I hope to read more by Springer in the future.
    • 5/5
      This is the tale of Camelot told from Morgan Le Fay's point of view A more sympathetic look at an often reviled character. If you're tired of Morgan being pulled through the mud then read this! Well written with a strong female lead!
    • 4/5
      Even taking into consideration that this story was intended for young adults, I was left somehow unsatisfied overall by the story. The premise was interesting and could have been a must-have book to keep on the shelf if it was done well. I don't think it lived up to its potential.I was able to read this story in one day while at work, albeit on a slow day. From cover to cover, there were only a couple of moments that could have been truly exhilarating, and those fell short with lack of descriptive prowess.The story was alright. I can't blast it and say it was horrible because at no time did I want to throw the book out a window or at least put it down and never get to the end. On the other hand, it is also not a great story. I might give it to a pre-teen for a little light reading, but this YA book fails to have a more broad interest for older readers.

      My sister recommended this book to me, and I read it for a book project when I was in fifth grade. I loved it! It kept me interested the whole way through. A great story of love and magic, it's a very interesting book.(My sister can recite the saddest part)
