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. ( )

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.

Morgan has always been considered otherworldly or fay by those who surrounded her because of her different-colored eyes, and when she discovers a druid stone her powers are beyond doubt. For these milprieves come only to very special individuals.

This story takes place as the wars for the throne of England rage and Morgan grows up and slowly begins to learn to control her powers. This novel explores her need to be loved and her struggle against fate and how that made her the character she later becomes in the Arthurian legend.

I very much enjoyed this novel. Rather than apologizing for who Morgan is to become, Springer crafts a tale that explains the sometimes praise-worthy, sometimes not but always very human and very relatable choices that eventually lead Morgan to become the sorceress from the legend.

Beautifully told. I loved the exploration of Avalon and how very real Morgan's quest to find and hold onto love is - as is the downfall that results. I liked 'I Am Mordred' better, but this is definitely a must-read for those who think that Morgan gets short shrift in most Arthurian tales. ( )
