Magic Awakened by Meg CowleyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Synopsis:
Read Meg Cowley’s new Arthurian high fantasy tale, the Morgana Chronicles series. Fans of SJ Maas’ A Court of Thorns and Roses will love it. Legend, as you’ve never read it before.
Who is Morgana?
Morgana Le Fay is a feared legend, but the truth? Well, the truth is a different matter.
Torn from her home after her father’s death, Morgana is thrust into life as a ward of the King of Albion, the respected and ruthless Uther Pendragon.
As court life in Camelot tries to mould her into a simpering courtier, Morgana fights to regain her independence and find her place, but where is that? Her father is dead, she has no home, and she cannot think of anything worse than seeing the insufferably arrogant Prince Arthur every day.
Magic may be the answer, for it may give her the freedom to make her own choices and find a new belonging. However, as Morgana struggles to untangle the truth about magic, the alluring sorceress Morgause, and the very king himself, all three long feared by many in Camelot, she finds herself drowning in questions with no answers.
Can Morgana find the truth, and the key to her powers?
If you enjoy page turning, fast paced fantasy, with characters that could step off the page, then you will love the Morgana Chronicles, which has hints of Marion Zimmer Bradley and the BBC series Merlin.

My Thoughts:
Cover/Title: The cover is beautiful and the title/series name drew me in immediately.Characters: Emrys might be my favorite character, I mean who doesn't like a talking cat? Morgana is definitely not what I expected in this book. Arthur is a bit one dimensional as we do not learn as much about him.
Plot:This is a very different look at Morgana and Arthur. I like that she was a strong character. I also liked that Arthur stood up for her and realized that she didn't mean for any of that to happen.
Overall: I love the note from Morgause & the song that plays at the beginning of chapter 7. The augmented reality really brings this story to life. I would love for it to be longer and a deeper plot.
