Powerful and alluring! The true feminist retelling Morgan deserves! ๐ฎ
๐2nd installment of the Morgan le Fay Trilogy๐
Check out my review for the first installment: Morgan is My Name here.
So, this started out leisurely slow (but not in a bad way) and was somewhat like the entire first book; however, about 2/3 of the way it really picked up. I did not want to put it down! Book 1 leaves you with this strong sense of hope and empowerment with a focus on new beginnings. Book 2, however, really tosses you around. There is a lot of loss and betrayal to be experienced within its pages, and you may find yourself building up with rage right alongside Morgan. I know I was.
โ� A favorite quoteโ�.
โDonโt touch me. High queen or not, my body and mind are no oneโs control.โ�
So, we finally get a deeper understanding of her fate as we are awarded with a rare glimpse into Morganโs psyche as she faces the events thrown her way. We accompany her as she escapes one prison for another through unexpected losses, bouts of betrayal, and even a tragic romance. Her complete transformation from a threatened, powerless, and mistreated woman to a powerful and vengeful sorceress is intoxicating. We quite literally get to see how and why she became the villain she is so famously portrayed as. Which brings me to the prophecyโ�.
I couldnโt help but dwell on the prophecy aspect of the story. Merlinโs prophecy involving King Arthur and Morgan holds a very significant standing throughout all the events of the story. I sensed this nearly resembled a case of self-fulfilling prophecy and strongly reminded me of one of the most memorable villains of all time โ� Darth Vader from Star Wars. So much comes to play within these types of scenarios: fate, destiny, free will, decisions, and consequences. Sometimes one can do everything in their power to prevent a certain outcome yet unknowingly do just what was needed to cause the outcome to occur. Itโs so tragic!
๐งโโ๏ธA word on Mr. Merlinโ�.!!
I used to love Merlin before this book! Especially after the 2008 Merlin show. Now my views have been tainted, and I am livid regarding his actions toward Morgan. You disgust me, Merlin!
โ� What I Loved โ�
โ� The joust tournaments
โ� The magic (especially at the end! My jaw dropped during one particular situation!)
โ� Excalibur
โ� The fiery Arthur vs Morgan buildup (I also used to like King Arthur with his boyish charm and righteous leadership, but he has infuriated me as Merlin has!)
โ� The gorgeous imagery
โ� The immersive writing
THE ENDING
Was as powerful as I hoped it would be after my heart was stomped on and my insides punched! It really has me rooting for Morgan!๐ซ I am here for the impending doom and really need answers about the events that took place. Everything perfectly lined up for the conclusion of the trilogy, and Iโm so hurt I have to wait another year to get it! I am completely invested and need more!!!

Woo, woo! And I am living for every moment of it!!
Funny moment: I got really into reading this one scene where Arthur screams at Morgan, calling her an โenemy of the crown!โ� I recited it aloud dramatically lying next to my husband, scaring him half to death haha!! He responded, โWhat? What? I was just scratching myself!โ� ๐คฃ Well dear, that still makes you an enemy of the crown!

Fantastic review Suhailah!! So happy that you enjoyed it so much and met another challenge!!! Sorry that you don't like Merlin!! :โ�-โ�(
Thanks, Kellie! Yes, I got a whole new perspective on Merlin! Can't wait for the last book next year!
I'm certain it will with how this ended! The events are lined up perfectly!
Suhailah, your review was fantastic! I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I'm also a fan of the 2007 Merlin TV show. I loved the quote, and the cover looks fantastic. Thanks for bringing this series to my attention; it sounds interesting.
Aww thanks Tara! I love that show so much, but this series definitely made me have a whole new perspective on Morgan! It's fascinating and exciting! I hope you enjoy it, if you decide to read them!
