Review Quotes

"Morgan's take is refreshing as she portrays a powerful Morgana with a sympathetic dimensionality missing from the original mythology... An enchanting tragedy centered around castle politics and the sacrifices demanded of women in the course of duty. Fans of Circe or Medusa retellings should take note." --Library Journal

"Louisa Morgan weaves the myth and magic of Arthuriana into a sparkling new story full of intrigue, enchantment, and the strong threads of women's voices. The Faerie Morgana is mythic reimagining at its best!" --Rowenna Miller, author of The Palace of Illusions

"A gripping story brimming with magic, The Faerie Morgana is a brilliant new addition to the canon of Arthurian tales." --Megan Barnard, author of The Winter Goddess

"This is Arthurian retelling at its best: a world you can get lost in, a story you'll want to return to, and a Morgan le Fay so real she seems as if she truly could've walked this earth." --Mary McMyne, author of A Rose by Any Other Name
