Ilustration Conducive To Books I Am Mordred

“You are more than noble,” she said. Her voice was soft and made me think of wild roses, as did the softness of her pale pink mouth, as did her fragrance, light and fresh and free. “You are a king’s son.”


I Am Mordred is a novel about our main character Mordred, King Arthur's son, and his struggles to fight against his faith. As a baby, Mordred's father, King Arthur, tried to kill him, by sending him, and a group of newborn babies, to the sea, because of Merlin's prophecy that he would kill King Arthur later on in his life. Years, and years passed, and now, Mordred returns to Camelot to meet his father, and see if he really is a terrible and evil man, that he saw him as.

This novel surprised the hell out of me. It started out slow, and at the beginning, I even thought about putting it down, but after 50 pages or so, the story got so interesting and I finished the novel in one sitting. I loved reading about these characters, the struggles they faced, and the amazing world of King Arthur. I loved how Mordred was presented, and how he was just a human being that was wronged by his father. He wasn't evil... he was just a kid. To conclude, if you're a fan of this mythology, I definitely recommend picking it up, and struggling through the beginning, to get to the amazing rest of the novel.

Appraise Regarding Books I Am Mordred
For the most part I found this to be a quick and fun read.It's a bit simple but at least skims over some interesting topics, and the idea of seeing things from Mordred's point of view is certain an intriguing one.I think it would have been nice to see Mordred more as a young man, and a good person. It's made clear that he didn't start out as a bad guy, but ultimately becomes that way. I think spending more time developing his character would've really pushed this book up to the next level, but

The interest in reading this sprung mainly from my current Merlin kick. In all honesty, I was shocked at how much I enjoyed it. I figured that it would play out as more of a children's book that wouldn't hardly scratch the surface of the pain and conflict that Mordred felt. Boy, was I ever wrong. I Am Mordred was a beautifully told story about a very conflicted and struggling boy. The characters were realistic as well as the dialogue and setting. Mordred's life has always been one full of pity

The ending broke my heart 😢

Thoughts on the Overall Book: I've always held a soft spot for Mordred. Unlike Morgan la Fay (who I never liked) he always seemed to me a victim of circumstance, and I always felt awful that he was a slave to his fate. This story changes the tale of his villainy to a heart-wrenching story that is terribly sad, but well done.Cover--Yea or Nay: It's not the best cover I have ever seen, but it's not bad either.Characters: Okay, I'll admit, it is really hard to read Arthurian books after watching

Dry and bland. I appreciate the themes the author tried to incorporate, like preconceptions and fate. But it seemed like she bent and twisted the original Arthurian mythology to try to make those themes work, ultimately making everything seem unnatural and forced.

The reframing of the Arthurian legend to be a morality play between free will and predeterminism is a novel and creative approach to the demise of Arthur. Although Springer doesn't change the traditional outcome, she torques the path to that out come through unexpected and unanticipated encounters. Arthur still shines; Mordred glimmers like tarnished silver. The beauty of this version is the struggle both psychological and physical of the soul and mind of Mordred. The subtle reference to "I am

A different telling of the tale I have loved since first reading "Once And Future King". I loved also "The Mists of Avalon". Now I embrace how this was written. Well enough that it flowed like music in my soul. I could envision it all as I read about Mordred. Written for me very well. I do not write often about a book. "I feed my soul with stories for they give me insight to much. "~Soultemptress aka Deb M Carlson 03/24/2019.....
