About the book
THE CHILD FATED TO SHAPE DESTINIES …
Morgan is a little girl who lives in Tintagel Castle by the sea, loved and sheltered by her noble parents, the Duke and Duchess of Belerion. An extraordinarily clever child, extremely sharp-eyed, exceptionally curious. A little girl unlike other children.
One stormy night a ship is wrecked off the coast, bringing with it new friends – Fleur the princess from a far-off land, Safir the stowaway with a secret, and the mysterious twins Merlin and Ganieda. Morgan’s visions of another world awaken her to the realisation that she can see things others cannot. That she has powers other people do not possess.
Not long afterwards, Morgan encounters Diana, the Moon Huntress, who charges her with a dangerous mission that only she can accomplish. With Merlin by her side and unsure if he is friend or foe, Morgan must venture far from home to enter the realms of the Piskies and the Muryans, warring tribes of faeries who vie for the souls of lost children. There she must summon her magic to fight the most ancient powers in the world, to rescue a young soul destined to be reborn …
REVIEW
Morgan Le Fay: Small Things and Great by Jo-Anne BlancoMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
BOOK TOUR REVIEW
The world of Morgan Le Fay is certainly very interesting. There is a lot going on constantly. There are supernatural beings and death and mysterious visions. And Morgan is only 5 years old.
I quite like this book. It kept me intrigued throughout the book although at the beginning I was a bit worried that I would not enjoy the book. But it definitely gets better the further along you get.
The plot is truly interesting and I like the world they live in. It is a bit like the world of the Lord of the Rings or the world the movie Merlin.
I also quite like the characters, but it is really hard to remember that the main character, Morgan is only 5 years old and all her friends are somewhere near there. Morgan also acts really maturely and it really kinda throws you off at times.
For me, it’s hard to imagine this a children’s book, because the events in the book are quite dark and although the main characters are children, I still don’t see this as a children’s book. Also, the language used in this book is very mature and I would imagine a lot of children would find in it difficult.
All in all, I really enjoyed the book and I cannot wait to read the other books in the series.
