6. This ties into an earlier question regarding the pace of the story and the planned trilogy. Do you plan to continue with the trilogy? Book Two, Le Fay, was recently published. #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

Cuilin Yes. Also free if you have Audible. 21h

LeeRHarry Yes I do - have number 2 on my shelves already. 😊 18h

Jerdencon Yes… definitely! This was a good choice! 12h

5. One reviewer mentioned the vividness of the landscape and that the strong sense of place and setting could almost be considered a character in the novel. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not? #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

Cuilin Tintagle is still on my bucket list of places to visit. 21h

LeeRHarry Agree. I thought it had a good sense of place from memory. 18h

4. Think about the other characters in the novel. One reviewer felt that the female characters all showed strength and growth in the novel. What are your thoughts? Any standout characters to you beyond Morgan? #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

Cuilin I agree with this reviewer. I especially liked Alice. 21h

3. Keetch has stated that she set out to retell Morgan's story, but in fact Morgan had so much to say that Keetch realized she needed to expand Morgan's story into three books. One could consider this to be the “origin story“ of Morgan, as she is young and starting out in the world of magic.

Think of the story progression in this novel. Do you agree or disagree with Keetch's assessment? Is this a multiple book story? #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

Cuilin Yes, I think it is quite possible to stretch the story into a trilogy. The time in the convent alone could‘ve been a whole book. 21h

Jerdencon I def could see a trilogy… she‘s still so young at the end of the first book. I plan to read the other 2. 12h

2. Thinking about the Arthurian legend, and Morgan's portrayal throughout as the villain, this novel (and trilogy) aims to tell Morgan's side of the story, or her story through her eyes. In some reviews, reviewers felt this humanizes Morgan, or at least adds layers to the “villain“ persona of Morgan. Do you agree? Why or why not? #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

Cuilin It certainly humanizes Morgan. Since this is only book one, you only get glimpses of her villain origin story. I will definitely read the next one. 21h

Jerdencon You can see them starting to put the story in place of her being the villain but you do feel bad for her at times. 12h

1. This first in a planned trilogy is a feminist take on the legendary Morgan le Fay. How familiar were you with her legend before reading this book? Link in comments to some basic info on Morgan. #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

Cuilin I love Arthurian mythology so I was pretty familiar with this story and was interested to see this author‘s take on a well-known legend. 21h

LeeRHarry I was vaguely familiar. I loved the writing and pace of this book. 18h

Jerdencon I really enjoyed this too. I know the basics of the story but not much specifics. 12h

Leftcoastzen Love your well loved old copy! 3d

TieDyeDude I listened to this on audio, narrated by James Franco. It was a tough listen because Franco sounded completely uninterested. I really enjoyed the foreshadowing used by King, like the seemingly random lightning rod salesman. It was a long road to get to the events of the conclusion, but I loved the ride. I'd like to re-read a physical copy in the future; I feel like I'd like it even more without Franco's droning... 3d

BarkingMadRead @TieDyeDude ugh how disappointing! 3d

Bookwormjillk SHOOT! I accidentally got The Dark Half instead. I always mix those up. 😂

Not finished yet but I'm enjoying it. Re-read The Dead Zone a few years back and liked that too. 3d

Bklover This is one of my favorites. Not sure why, except I remember reading it when it first came out. I loved it then, (I was 19), and I still reread it occasionally. It still holds up as one of my favorites. 2d
