Le Fay (Morgan le Fay, #2)

The first book wasn't the best, but it was still promising. This one is just bad.
You would think that since this is the second book Morgan would have had character development, right? Nope. There was none, I think that she became worse than she was in the first book.
This is supposed to be a feminist retelling of Morgan's story and yet there is nothing feministic in this.
All the women who are around Morgan have to agree with her or else they are the antagonists.
Why did we have to make a conflict between Guinevere and Morgan especially one so stupid?
The portrayal of Guinevere makes no sense here.
The author keeps telling us that Morgan is smart, but every decision she makes is stupid, and everything that comes out of her mouth is just childish.
Once the romance is introduced again in the story it all goes downhill from there.
Morgan starts to become a very shallow person who cries all day about the unfairness of her life but does nothing to change it.
The so-called conflict that Morgan and her lover had was so immature that I was rolling my eyes every time they interacted on the page.
Their romance was forced and offered nothing to the plot or Morgan's character development.
Every relationship in this book turns shallow after the beginning and the conflicts that arise from there are just stupid and make the characters act like a bunch of stupid teenagers and not the mature adults they should be.
Morgan's magic is the only thing that is supposed to be hers, and yet we are blaming Merlin for introducing her to dark magic?*rolling my eyes* because how could a woman do wrong without the influence of a man, right?
I also didn't like that Morgan had to feel ashamed that she was angry, that she had power, and that she sometimes used that power for something else outside of healing, what was there for her to feel ashamed to admit to Accolon?
I don't understand how the author read about Morgan in the legends and came up with this version of her.
I'm very disappointed in this one. I was hoping for something more, and I got nothing instead.
The first 100 pages are great, but from there on, there is no sense in reading further cause you're going to be disappointed.
I love Morgan in The Legends, and she is one of the characters that intrigue me the most. I was hoping that I would finally read about her, but this was not it, this was not the Morgan I wanted.
If you love Arthurian legends like me, then this will be a massive disappointment.

"“Do you want me to go to war for this, Morgan?� he said. “Because if this is the difference between keeping our bond or losing it, then know that I will. It’s against my principles, almost certainly illegal, but if it’s the only way to retain your love and the trust we share, I will gather an army and march tomorrow.�
I love the bond between Morgan and Arthur. ❤I will treasure it for as long as I can.🥺"
