The Wicked Day by Mary Stewart

5.0

I am a huge, huge fan of Mary Stewart's Merlin Trilogy, and I lately learned that she wrote two more Arthurian legend books. The Wicked Day is a novel from the point of view of Mordred, and normally I hate the now-cliched twist of seeing things from the villain's perspective (I was mortally bored as a child by that kids' book from the Wolf's perspective of The Three Little Pigs), but I should have known better than to question Mary Stewart. It was exquisite and absolutely terrible in that lovely Arthurian way.
