Was anyone besides me disappointed with this book? I'm all for strong, independent female characters; and I don't mind being free with legends. But Bradley went too far in making Camelot a feminist story. They're called Arthurian legends, not Morgan le Fey legends!

I don't see this as a femenist book at all, the story is told through Morgan Le Fey's eyes so naturally she's not going to conform with the generally accepted male ideas of the era. Honestly I thought if there was a theme Bradley was going for other than flipping the Authorian Legends of its head, I thought it was more about the intolerance of religions in past and present. The only reason this may look like a femenist book is because Bradley portrays pretty much every single religious figure as an embicile who were all men and the only powerful people in the book are men (it wouldn't make much sense if they weren;t considering the period.)

Try not to see this as a girl power book and re-read it with the idea of religion in mind and the time period of King Arthur rather than sex. It wouldn't be as strong of a book if say Lancelot or had taken over Camelot because in reality any man could have feasably taken over Camelot. Bradley instead put a woman in charge because that was the least likely thing that could have possibly happen in that time period.
