A long but evenly-paced historical fantasy retelling of Arthurian legend, seen mostly through the eyes if Morgaine Le Fey. Distinct characters interact within a complex moral universe rather than a good-bad dichotomy, which — combined with sharp descriptive language — makes for a rich, nuanced imagining of the early interactions between pagan and Christian religion and culture in Britain.
