Morgan le Fay #3
Storm Over Camelot: Morgan le Fay, Book 3
Grieving over a devastating loss, Morgan has retreated to the sanctuary of Belle Garde behind a veil of fairy magic, after swearing vengeance upon King Arthur and Camelot.
Steeped in her rage, she becomes a storm of retribution, battling to avenge her brother's wrongs whilst trying to undo a terrible tragedy. But with her resurrection skills elusive and Camelot growing in glory and strength, Morgan is failing, her freedom under threat in the wake of her chaos and treasonous reputation.
All appears futile, until her efforts bring news of scandal in the Royal Court, and Morgan is once again drawn inside Camelot's golden walls. When an encounter with Arthur's trusted knight, Sir Lancelot, sparks suspicions of Queen Guinevere's adultery, Morgan falls deeper into obsession, the need to punish those who betrayed her driving her further away from her loved ones, and the woman she once wished to be.
As the Age of Camelot darkens, and the forces of love, fate and truth collide, she must choose between her thirst for vengeance and the power to heal what is broken, and decide who Morgan le Fay truly is, in her own future and for all time.

For her debut novel, she was drawn to Morgan le Fay because of the progression of her character through time, becoming ever more villainous as she was written and rewritten in the words of men. But beneath the infamy, Sophie felt there was an unsung story and was compelled to seek out the woman behind the myth and give a voice to her contradictions.

“I am no man’s weapon to wield”
After devouring the first two books, I was so happy and honestly shocked to find out the audiobook was already released, so I dived right in. With the second book ending so promisingly, the first half of this one felt a bit slow, maybe this was because of the fact that latter part of the legend takes some unpleasant turns as well. But overall, this series was brilliant and one of my best reads of the year. The feminist retelling of this particular legend is so precious. Thank you Sophie Keetch.

This where it gets hard
The story of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is a tragedy. It is also -- this, I find, comes as a surprise to most folks -- a very adult story. There is a war in which Arthur dies. (Usually the reader is left in some doubt as to whether Arthur really died. The legend, of course, is that some future day, in Britain's greatest need, Arthur will return to save her. This has not yet occurred.)
Arthur's downfall is a consequence of incest and adultery. The incest is between Arthur and his half-sister. (In some versions of the tale the act is blamed on sorcery. As so often in these old stories, sorcery is used as an excuse to shift blame from a man to a woman.) The result is a child, Mordred, who eventually betrays Arthur in the attempt to become king in his place.
The adultery is between Arthur's wife Guinevere and his greatest knight and greatest friend, Sir Lancelot du Lac. Arthur and Lancelot become estranged as a result, and the Round Table and Arthur's court are split and disastrously weakened. It is this rift that Mordred takes advantage of.
In the classical stories Arthur's sister Morgan is deeply involved in Arthur's downfall.
Storm Over Camelot is Sophie Keetch's retelling of that tragic story. She begins with this apt epigraph
The story is well done. Morgan remains the hero of her own story. She is not, in this retelling, an evil witch, though witch she may be. She may not always be in the right, but she always has reasons for what she does. My only complaint would be that it is slow at times. There are long periods in which Keetch dwells on Margan's thoughts and feelings, when I would have preferred she reveal them through action.
Still Keetch's Morgan Le Fay trilogy is one of the best, possibly the best, retellings of Arthurian legend I have read.

Let no one deem me a poor weak woman who sits with folded hands, but of another mould, dangerous to foes and well-disposed to friends; for they win the fairest fame who live their life like me.Morgan is Arthur's bitter enemy since he killed Morgan's lover Accolon in battle (in Le Fay, book 2 of the series). She is determined to avenge herself. She is also determined to bring Accolon back to life. (If you're a reader of fantasy, you will recognize that as a red line. In literary fantasy, the attempt to deny or reverse death seldom ends well.)

A truly fantastic finish for one of the best trilogies I’ve ever read.
December 2, 2025
Spoilers if you haven’t read the first 2 books in this trilogy and you don’t know the story of King Arthur and Camelot.
I was a bit disappointed with this one. Le Fay ended with Morgan swearing to resurrect her dead lover and take vengeance on Arthur and Camelot. I expected a bit more action, particularly as this book is twice as long as the first two. Instead Morgan spends 90% of the book in her magic valley receiving news of the outside world via letters and visitors. Her vengeance consists of causing a nuisance with storms and flocks of birds, and later attempting unsuccessfully to expose Guinevere and Lancelot’s adultery. She gets her hands on the magic resurrection shroud but doesn’t attempt to bring Accelon back for several years. Half way through the book I felt like not much had happened.
On the plus side it is beautifully written and Gemma Whelan off of Game of Thrones is an excellent narrator. The ending was really sad but most of it was expected because I know how the Arthurian legend ends and it stays true to that.

I was gutted she didn’t get Accelon back properly. If he was freed from the lake why not have him arrive at Avalon at the end? I choose to believe that’s what happened instead of him disappearing into the rain. And she eventually got both her sons back. That’s all.

so good, such a good ending to such a beautiful story <3 now to do all of my work that i have been procrastinating by reading this trilogy

Really disappointed in this one. 😭

A suitably epic ending making excellent use of the themes of reconciliation and redemption. It was my least favourite of the three books, but still exceptionally well written and brought all threads in the story to a sure end (even if it’s one we are already familiar with and expecting).
Note: For those needing a spoiler filled recap of book 2, Le Fay, I found a reasonably helpful one here:

This book felt way too long. 2/3 of the story was repetitive and dull unfortunately. I wish more of the 1/3 of the good part was fleshed out! The book somehow felt rushed and too lengthy at the same time. Sad because I really liked the first two books!

Beautifully written, with complex characters. The final book is about twice as long as the first two books in this series and dragged at some points. But I will always eat up a feminist retelling.

This was the perfect ending to a series that has, for me, been perfect. I've been waiting for this remaining since I was little and Sophie Keetch has executed it better than I could have imagined. I can't wait to reread and revisit this trilogy in years to come.

This was one of my favourite series... until I read this. Book 2 was one of the best books I read in 2024, so I don't understand what happened here. The female rage gone, the cleverness gone. I'm disappointed.

What?! Where is Morgan’s and Accolon’s child? Why didn’t anyone try to find it?!
How can vengeance ever be more important than your child(ren)?!
Why would you wait years and years to try to resurrect the love of your life?!
There is just too much in this book that makes no sense to me.
I loved Accolon’s character, though. I must admit I cried a little.

I listened to the audiobook for this one and will say I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. Ultimately because Morgan was a great character to read about.

Never have I read such a perfect trilogy.
Morgan is the strong, wild female protagonist I as a female reader have been searching for in my decades of consumming literature. Never have I felt such a powerful kindred with a fictional character. She is flawed, reflective, angry, vengeful, loving and always demanding agency from the world of men that sought to suppress and control her.
What. An. Ending.

The trilogy has concluded and while overall satisfying, and true to the bones of the legend, I couldn’t help feeling that the action was always happening on the periphery. Morgan has very little agency in this final book and leaves her vale and borderlands twice to attend Arthur’s court. I wish her magpies could have told part of the story, or perhaps from the POV of Guinevere.

The final tale of Morgan, what can I say!
My heart broke a hundred times reading these books. Sophie Keetch writes so beautifully that you feel transported to this time and world, from the details of a birds flight to the description of a lake. Every character and their fate is well thought out, and whilst the story is complicated, it can now only make sense to me this way.
I'm so glad to have met Morgan Le Fay through these books and will definitely return to them again. 🏰🌊🔮✨️

Sophie Keetch has written a masterpiece that perfectly captures the messy, exhilarating, beautiful chaos of the human heart, and of Arthurian myth. The relationships between all the characters are incredibly moving, whether in love or in hatred, and the story moves so compellingly that it is a struggle to put this book down.
I can confidently say that I will think of Morgan Le Fay every time it rains.

3.5 rounded up. The series was decent but probably nothing I would recommend to anyone unless they really like Arthurian legends.
Review of advance copy
Such a great conclusion to a beautifully written trilogy. I loved watching the evolution of Morgan's character happen throughout the series. Keetch has such a way with words.
April 6, 2026
Not a bad book, but I found it to be an unsatisfying ending to the trilogy. So much of it was about vengeance, when that could’ve been resolved sooner and we could’ve gotten more of the trilogy’s characters working together instead of as enemies. The romance between Accolon and Morgan was not interesting by this point - he was dead for 15 years and basically a ghost! Also why don’t we ever find out about their child? Seeing more of Mordred’s scheming would have been interesting.

Full of hope, heartbreak, grief and female rage. Ugly tears were shed

This was an ok ending. The prose was stunning, hence the almost 4⭐️s, but I was a bit disappointed with the plot. What was the point of the Morgan x Accalon and Morgan x Lancelot story lines?
Most of the action happens off page. It seems like all Morgan did was wait for news.
Some story lines had such a satisfying conclusion though and I liked the Arthur plot twist. Still, I kind of expected a bit more after loving the first 2 books so much…
