Summary: Different, but very well done
Review: Although a children's book, I found this story very interesting. It isn't often that you run into a book from an extremely evil character's point of view. To hear their story with them being the good guy is cool. I liked it a lot and I don't think that it is for everyone, but it's a short and pleasant read. Try it!

Summary: A powerful retelling of Morgan le Fay's troubled childhood.
Review: Although his many duties as the Duke of Cornwall often kept him away from home, young Morgan loved her father. And when the six-year-old witnessed a man leaving her mother's chamber, a man that looked just like her father but was nothing like him, she knew something was wrong. For her father was dead - killed by the king Uther Pendragon, who then steals Morgan's mother away. Bitter with anger and resentment, the little girl awakens something magical within her - a power that can be used for good or evil. For five years Morgan and her sister Morgause are cared for by their childhood nurse, Ongwynn, and during that time, Morgan's hatred for the king and for her half-brother Arthur steadily grows. When the king dies, Morgan dares to hope that her life will go back to the way it used to be - but instead, she and her sister are forced to flee to Ongwynn's isolated home. There, Morgan's power steadily grows - but so does her hatred. Morgan knows she has a dark fate she is doomed to fulfill - and although she fights it, her struggles are in vain. This was a powerful retelling of a legend, as seen through the eyes of a young woman who fights to control her future, even though she knows deep inside she is doomed to failure.

Summary: What a Read!
Review: Brilliant re-imagining of the story of Morgan le Fay (though it should be Fey). This prequel/companion to I Am Mordred again deals with Briton's première dysfunctional family. Morgan resents her half brother Arthur from his birth. He is the offspring of King Uther who murdered her father to sleep with their mother. Arthur is the reason she and her flighty older sister Morgause must flee their castle Tintagel with their nurse who is more than just a nurse. Arthur is the object of their mother's obsession when she goes slightly mad after Uther's death. Morgan tries to fight fate and live a happy life away from the world with her true love Sir Thomas, but she loses the fight, her lover, and for a time her mind. The characterizations, especially Morgan's, are excellent as is the imagery and writing in general. Morgan's complex relationship with Thomas not to mention what is intimated at the tale's end to occur between ½ siblings Morgause and Arthur push this title firmly on to YA ground unlike it's companion volume. The infusion of figures from mythology is nicely handled too. The author has created a wholely believable world! Worth a look see whether you are an Arthurian tale fan or not. There are draggy bits, but the last thirty-forty pages are wonderful!

Summary: The infamous Morgan in a new light
Review: Everybody knows Morgan le Fay's reputation of being one of the most evil characters in the Arthurian myth and how she tried to ruin Arthur with her every calculated move. Few see Morgan le Fay as what she is depicted as in Nancy Springer's version in which an innocent young girl meets her demise because of the evil actions of those around her.
Morgan le Fay was a normal girl until she saw a man that looked exactly like her father go to bed with her mother Igraine. However, that man was not her father, who had died hours before in battle, but the king, Urther, who lusted after her mother. Soon Uther takes Igraine to be his wife and little Morgan and her older sister Morgause are left to live with nurse Ongwynn. However as the landscape becomes more and more dangerous Morgan and her sister must escape with nurse Ongwynn to her secret home. There Morgan learns her magical powers and falls in love with Thomas, an intriguing young man. Desperate for answers to her life, the young teenage Morgan sets off to find her mother in Avalon. Along the way she faces many trials and her relationship with Thomas deepens. Yet in the end rejection and selfishness leads to Morgan's ultimate demise and her fall into darkness begins.
Morgan comes off as a very powerful character who you feel sorry for because a lot of things in her life were uncontrollable. The path to her demise is hard to read because the reader wishes every step that Morgan had made a different decision to save herself. The romance between Morgan and Thomas is the shining part of the story and its bittersweet ending is hard to swallow. Besides Morgan and Thomas, other characters were weak, with probably the exception of nurse, who came across as a very motherly figure. Igraine hit a sour note with me. I just didn't really see much in her. The ending was a bit odd but hints at the future of Morgan. The villian in the story was very weak and you feel a bit betrayed in the end with the demise of the romance. In the end Nance Springers version of Morgan was very insightful and will be a hit with all fans of Camelot.

Summary: Fate
Review: Fate Interestingly, Arthur exists s a miner character I am Morgan le Fay an Arthurian legend written by Nancy Springer. This book forces on Arthur's half sister Morgan and her struggles to deal with her new magical powers as she struggle with dealing with herself. What makes this book so interesting along with other events is that Merlin in almost all of the other book is described as a happy jolly man who helps Arthur with his kingdom, but in this book he is a dark sorcerer. As fascinating as this book seems it still consists as a not so long and thrilling as it seems at times hard to follow with some characters and events that took place in the thriller I am Morgan le Fay.
This legend is recommended by this review to be read by middle school kids or someone who wants to read a unique version of the Arthur Tail. The twists are unique don'y let them fool you this is a great book.

Summary: This book will rock Camelot!
Review: Great book! I couldn't get myself to read "I am Mordred" as it didn't seem half as interesting, but Morgan le Fay's story was great! It really delves into what her life must have been like. Very cool! 2 downsides: I NEVER imagined Avalon to be anything like what the author described, so that was a disappointment, and a kind of injustice to that mystical land. She also forgot the most obvious factor in Avalon's mysterious-ness--it's an ISLAND! Hello! Secondly, I couldn't tell what was fact and what was fiction. I doubt Orgwyn (forgive the atrocious spelling) really existed, but the book depends largely on her, so if she wasn't real, what else wasn't? Thomas, the point of the book? The C-dude, Curnossem or whatever? Her father's death? It really got me wondering... But overall, a great book and a great read!
