Oh my gosh, I raced through this book.  It's not super fast-paced but I just couldn't put it down.  Keetch paints such rich and vivid pictures of landscapes and characters.  I fell in love with the main characters, finding their way through a hostile, patriarchal world, instantly.  

I'm quite an Arthurian novice but still greatly enjoyed this retelling.

Heartbreakingly, breathtakingly beautiful. An absolute must for fans of legendborn and Arthurian legends. Beautifully written and absolutely heart shattering from the first few pages.

Good but not great. A slow introduction to arthuriana, hopefully subsequent books will have more of the Morgan of legend

I haven’t read the original text(s) here, so I can’t comment on the accuracy or skilfulness of the book as a retelling. 

As a story however, this was fun. I would possibly lean more towards 3.5 stars in terms of skill, but it was exactly what I was in the mood for and the vibes were just great, so an extra 0.25 for enjoyment.
This book is fluidly written. Morgan is relatable and vividly described, I especially loved her as a healer. I‘ll be interested to see how her journey towards darkness is pulled off. I was also very lucky to read this by the sea, and that was perfect - stormborn Morgan and Tintagel brought to life even better. 

Overall a solid debut and I‘m looking forward to the next one.
