Summary: quite powerful
Review: I am Morgan le Fay is about Morgan, the bewitching daughter of Igraine, who will be the one who brings about King Arthur of Camelot's downfall. Morgan le Fay means Morgan the Fate, and she learns about how one cannot change fate, except bring the ultimate result about in a different manner. The impetuous Morgan is bewitching with one purple eye and one green eye and raven dark hair. Morgan finds a mystical stone called a milpreve, and from that day, her life is never the same. Her father, the Duke of Cornwall, is killed in order for Uther Pendgraon to wed the beautiful Igraine. Igraine bears a son, the future King Arthur, by Uther. When Uther is killed, the throne for succession is empty, and wars erupt. For the safety of Morgan and her sister Morgause, they flee with their mysterious Nurse, actually a white witch named Ongwynn, to "Caer Ongwynn" far from their home of Caer Tintagel. There, they live with her for some time, and it is there that Morgan first "awakens" her innate fay powers. When Morgan is fifteen, she is summoned by mysterious forces to go to the enchanted place known as Avalon. There at Avalon, there are many fays, or beings who were once gods, and her mother, Igraine, sitting day in and day out calling for her son, Arthur. In the rest of the book, Morgan grows stronger in her fay/"sorcery" powers while she also falls deeply in love. She also tries to deny fate, but she learns painfully and tragically that it cannot be done. "If I had my way, fate be damned."

This story is quite lyrical. Powerful imagery is prominent throughout the book. Morgan, telling the story in first person, reveals all of her deepest thoughts, her temper, and her vain attempts to control her own fate and others' fates. Morgan falls victim to love, and the exchanges between her and her beloved are tender and sweet, but she learns in the last part of the book that 1) men cannot be prisoners of love forever and 2) one cannot deny his/her ultimate fate. Although gripping, I must note the outcome is a little abrupt and quick. Everything is building up beautifully, then BAM, it is over in two paragraphs. I am still left a little shocked at the abruptness, but overall, I am Morgan le Fay is a wonderful read, a nice break from all the attention King Arthur and Guenevere receive in literature. Now I appreciate this character of Morgan, no matter how tragic she turns out to be.

Summary: I am Morgan le Fay Book review
Review: I am Morgan le Fay
By: Nancy Springer
Ms. Olivet Eng. per.2

I am Morgan le Fay is a spellbinding tale of the enchanted place, Avalon, from long ago. It has an incredibly facinating plot, with impecable details. Together these two characteristics create a captivating novel that reaches into the mind of the reader.
Nancy Springer's use of imagery brings the reader into the mystical Arthurian world of the sorceress, herself, Morgan le Fay. The castles, forests, events, and never-ending emotions are portrayed so well in the story that the reader can clearly picture them in his/her mind. The author also brings you, the reader, into the mind of the spoiled, stubborn Morgan, as she grows both older and wiser. As you read through the book, you feel everything that Morgan feels, and begin to think the way
she does, often forgetting about reality and falling into the words of the novel.
As Morgan grows by learning and gaining powers from the milprieve stone, she begins to understand more about herself, and how her past has formed the person she is now.
Overall, I felt the novel, I am Morgan le Fay, was a fantastic book filled with dazzling events, people, and places that tease the mind for more reading. I would most definitely recommend this book to readers with creative minds, good imaginations, and those who enjoy fantasy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Morgan le Fay
Review: I can not believe the wonderful, mistical, enchantment of this book! It's a wonderful story if your looking just to get away; leave your world and enter that of another. Though this book is not for everyone, it is for those who have enough imagination to pull off anything. This book, if taken from the right perspective, can teach very important life lessons. Other than that, it is so wonderful. Enjoy the book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nancy Springer's Morgan
Review: I did enjoy reading this book, as I am an avid Arthurian fan. I found that it could have been thrice as long, as the book concludes before Morgan even meets Arthur again. I do believe that the author, as talented as she is, has a plethora of material for a sequal to this specific character, rather than another novel about a different Arthurian character (i.e. Mordred) which would be a delight to read.
So, in closing to my attempt to share my opinion, to you Nancy Springer, I salute your efforts with this beautiful piece of literature, and hope for a second and or third segment in the life of this mythic sorceress.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of my favorites!
Review: I LOVE THIS BOOK! It's my new favorite! I have always loved the "villans" in stories, so i was enchanted by I am Morgan le Fay. It is so interesting, and it seems so real, although it's not. It is a great story, with everything from romance to action. I've re-read this book once or twice, and it still amazes me!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Morgan Le Fay
Review: I read this book this past winter and I was just amazed by it. Everything about it made you feel like you were part of it and you could just watch everything while it was happening. None of my years of school can help me say how much I enjoyed this book. I am just dumbstruck by it. I didn't even think that I liked "the lore of Camelot". All I can say is, you need to read this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You Have To Read This!
Review: I think this was the best book I have ever read. It was romantic,exciting,tragic and magical. I could never put it down! I just had to keep on reading. I feel sorry for Morgan and how she lost Thomas her love like that and how her mother didn't care about anyone but her son the king. But at the same time I hate her because she turned out to be evil. I recommend this book to anyone.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Enchanting
Review: I thought it was a very magical book because I am very hooked on fantasy.I loved the part where she tried to cheat fate.I am a little confused on her name.Is it Morgana or Morgan???Anyway, I don't like the way she kept True Thomas a prisoner even if she was trying to protect him of his fate.This is my first review so excuse me if this is boring compared to the other ones.Can any of you guys send me feedbacks?Thanks.I'll probably see you people around.Later!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty good
Review: I thought this book was pretty good. Morgan is a dark, complex character. The story tells of her relationships with others, such as her sister, mother, father, nurse, and first love. It also tells of her struggles on the road to becoming a fey, and the choices she has to make becuase of it. The thing that I didn't really like about it was it was a bit slow in parts, and I'm not a big fan of first-person writing. Overall, it is a good read for a lazy summer day.
