I expected a lot more going into this book. I wanted revenge, Arthurs story hold from morgaras POV and while this is Morgan's story its more of her life before she turned evil (though love her for it).

You could take the magic from this book and nothing would change. Why is it their in the first place? There was no explanation on the magic either which is fire, but I would have liked to see Morgan learn how to use is on page other than she simply can.

Uther is a large part of the story and yet the conflict between him and Morgan don't appear much. I felt a bit let down at how that part of the story ended.

Here was a few decisions Morgan makes that didn't seem like she would as a character. The love story aspect of the book was dropped and then she agrees to something she's adamant she will never do as Uther says and yet she does. it doesn't mesh with her character.

I found il strange to set the story in England when I expected Wales. Each time London was mentioned it pulled me from the story.


Originally when I heard this book was about moorland I thought it would be like Morgan from the show Merlin. I loved Morgan in the show but in the book we don't see that part of Morgana until the end. That was the only part I loved about this book

Perhaps I am thinking too much about the show as I loved it, and that could be clouding what I expected from this book.
But it was a disappointment from what I expected this book to be especially when I thought it was a standalone when its not.
