Oh my gosh, this series is an absolute masterpiece. I cannot stop talking about how it made me feel, how the setting was so perfectly described, how the world was perfectly dark/gothic Arthurian and how Keetch pulled off a story making Morgan a fantastic character that went through so much loss and sorrow and hardship in her life and finally decided that this one last time, she will come out on top.
Le Fay actually includes all of the general King Arthur characters, this includes Merlin, Guinevere and Arthur himself - whereas the first book focused more on Morgan. I loved having all of these characters together, I loved the uncomfortable, duplicitous nature of the court and Queen Guinevere, Camelot and all it's wrongs and really, just how spiteful and downright evil Merlin is portrayed to be in this story. It made the plot absolutely amazing.
I loved Morgan's character throughout, sometimes I wish she stood up to her brother sooner but at the same time, I admire her compassion. There were some really beautiful moments in this book and then there were some really devastating ones and my heart has still not recovered. But it was amazing to see Morgan make alliances, realise her power and her place in the world and finally prepare to fight back! I cannot wait for the third and final book in this series!
