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.
