17 posts | 13 read | 46 to read
A powerful feminist retelling of the early life of Morgan le Fay, the famed villainess of Arthurian legend, this dazzling debut is the story of a woman both mortal and magical, formidable and misunderstood, told in her own words. Young Morgan of Cornwall lives a happy life in Tintagel Castle until King Uther Pendragon, with the help of the sorcerer Merlin, murders her father and tricks her mother into marriage. Furious, brilliant, and vengeful, Morgan defies her brutal stepfather, taking up a secret education, discovering a lifelong affinity with the healing arts, and falling in love with a man far beneath her station. However, defiance comes at a cost. Used as a bargaining chip in her stepfathers war games, Morgan finds herself banished to a world of isolated castles and gossiping courts, amidst the machinations of kings, sorcerers, and men. But some desires are not easily forgotten, and the search for her independence is a quest Morgan cannot give up. As the era of King Arthur approaches, she must use all her wit, knowledge, and courage to fight against those who wish to deny her intelligence, crush her spirit, and control her body. But, in seeking her freedom, Morgan risks losing everythingher reputation, her loved ones, and her life.

Loved this. Eons ago at university I did a half module on Arthurian legend of which I remember almost nothing! This story of the youngest daughter of the Duke of Cornwall fighting against a genuinely evil stepfather, seeking knowledge to heal to take control of her own destiny was a fabulous rich story and the introduction of Arthur‘s hints for interesting things ahead in this trilogy

Sorceress. Witch. Villain. You think you know the story of Morgan le Fay, enemy of Arthur, High King of Britain. You‘d be wrong.

I adored this! Morgan is such an amazing character, & I loved reading about her drive and her passions. The relationships she built with the people around her were complex & fascinating! I was expecting more time spent with Arthur, but this is more of a prequel. So I really hope there‘ll be a sequel someday! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Well, I just loved this. Every single bit. I was obsessed with Arthur and co as a teenager and always had a begrudging respect for Morgan.
Morgan is now given a feminist retelling and it‘s a trilogy, can‘t wait for the next one.

Cuilin Stacked. I love an Arthurian retelling. Loved 1y
Itchyfeetreader Did a module on Arthurian legend at uni - totally up for this. Stacked 1y
TrishB @Cuilin I loved that as a teenager too, but then found out about the author and was gutted 😞 1y
TrishB @Itchyfeetreader hope you enjoy when you get to it 👍🏻 1y
Cuilin @TrishB Agree, so upsetting, another separating the art from the artist. Seems to be more common, unfortunately. 1y

I throughly enjoyed this book. I clicked play without knowing anything about it and I was sucked right in. I didn‘t put it down.

Loved this feminist retelling of Morgan Le Fay which follows her from her early years to becoming a wife. Morgan is a strong independent woman who takes no crap from anyone which of course gets her in trouble
The story drew me in from the start, the writing is beautiful and the author really brings the characters to life
