Title: I Am Mordred
Review: I Am Mordred, by Nancy SpringerIn "I Am Mordred," Springer recounts the life of King Arthur's illegitimate son, the son who will kill him. Mordred's typically gotten a bad rap or been ignored in Authurian stories, and Springer takes a different approach and tries to show what led to him killing Arthur.Because Mordred was conceived by Arthur and his half-sister, he was considered morally evil as soon as he was born. Springer examines Mordred through the lens of today, where most people assume children are born innocent. In this book, Mordred is an ordinary teen, struggling to come to terms with learning who his parents are, sibling rivalry, and the feeling that he doesn't quite fit in.I thought the premise was interesting, but the book doesn't stand out much for me. It's a book I read, momentarily enjoyed, and forgot a few days later. I'd recommend this for fans of Aurthruian tales, or anyone interested in Mordred.2/5.
