Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books I Am Morgan le Fay
Morgan is a willful, mischievous girl with mismatched eyes of emerald and violet. A girl of magic, whose childhood ends when King Uther Pendragon murders her father and steals away her mother. Then Pendragon dies and, in a warring country with no one to claim the throne, there are many who want Morgan dead. But Morgan has power, and magic. She is able to change the course of history, to become other, to determine her own fate-and, thus the fate of Britain. She will become Morgan le Fay."Springer wields language like a sword, and both blood and flowers spring to these pages in vivid hues." (Booklist, starred review)

A timeless story, with a dark underbelly. Not for the youngest of children; it's a little too scary in ways that matter to kids. I'm not a fan of sugarcoating things for kids, just that this book seems to engender dark thoughts to run amok through the mind of a 'tween.I love the King Arthur time period. So when I saw this on a library shelf I grabbed it.It was written so well, flowed wonderfully from descriptions to dialogues. I was sadden by her relationship with her mother, but equally glad of her relationship with her nanny. I wished for more romance for her and friendships. Because this was a 'back story' of Morgan, it ended just as she finds Arthur (her half brother) and I would have loved to read more about her during his rein as king.
Most people know Morgan Le Fay as an evil sorceress, but when you read her life story, you think differently. The book is so amazing! But if you don't like crying emotional books, do NOT read it. It's really four books in one. But I highly recommend it.
I read this back in 6th Grade. Loved it to pieces. And having recently found it lying in an extremely dark corner under my bed a couple of days ago, I decided to crawl into bed and re-read it. I still love it to pieces. I'd always thought the Arthurian Legend was fascinating, but I'd never really liked the guy. Neither did I have much interest in his best friend Sir Lancelot or his lover, Guinevere. On the contrary, I liked Arthur's half sister, Morgan. And Mordred. And while I'm ranting on with
Morgan Le Fay. A woman of mystery, of evil, of legend. Who was she? What made her turn evil and bring down her half brother Arthur?This book tells the why's of Morgan's life.Ok so first off I picked this book up because I just finished watching BBC Merlin and I wanted to hear a different take on Morgana's story.At first I couldn't really get into this book and I almost put it down several times for it was slow at the beginning. About the fourth chapter into it though it really started grabbing
Morgan was born into a world where women have little power, where men make all of the decisions, where a son is valued highly above a daughter. But there is a power reserved for the women alone. It is the power of the Fay, the Faerie. When Morgan learns to harness that magical power for herself, she changes history, for she is the half sister of the legendary King Arthur. She is Morgan le Fay, and her power will bring down Camelot.The legend of King Arthur is a timeless tale that has been
This Book was amazing. I had always heard about Morgan Le Fay,since i love stories about Camelot, King Arthur, and just Arthurian legend in general, but i had never gotten this much of a look. Even though it is fiction, it almost makes you feel like the real Morgan Le Fay is telling the story, it has many of the same emotions in it that you would expect someone to have with what happens to her. My favorite part is when she is in Avalon as a little girl, and she sees the rest of the fates and
