panI was looking for something magic, fairy tail-y and harry potter-y. I got 1000+ pages of repetitive writing, intrigues and incestuous sex scenes.
pickAbsolutely loved this book!!! So difficult to put down. Easily my favorite read of the year so far. The origin story of Morgan LeFay, infamous Arthurian sorceress. I look forward to continuing this series. Read for #literarycrew
The weather was glorious today! I took advantage of it by having lunch al fresco while listening to my current read. I hope everyone had a beautiful Monday!

#LiteraryCrew : I am so sorry I fizzled on my hostess duties this month! My priories were caring for Zeke, so lots of things fell through the cracks.
That being said, I have 6 discussion questions posted as spoilers; they can be found on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching the group‘s hashtag. I did not get to read this one, but the reviews I read make this sound amazing! Hope you enjoyed!

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
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
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
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
- Sarah Zettel's Camelot books
- Phyllis Ann Karr's Idylls of the Queen
- Cherith Baldry's Exiled from Camelot
- Patricia Terry & Samuel N. Rosenberg's Lancelot and the Lord of the Distant Isles
- Jo Walton's Sulien books (kind of)
- Bernard Cornwell's The Winter King trilogy
And probably more that aren't popping into mind... 1mo
More niche is Heinrich von dem Türlin's Diu Crône, which is good for Gawain lovers. 1mo
Oh, and a fun one I remembered: Le Roman de Silence, 'cause it includes Merlin. There's a modern retelling, The Story of Silence, by Alex Myers -- I remember liking it. 1mo
