![]() ![]() ![]() Even more so than The Squire's Tale this book immerses the reader in the time period and helps them feel as though they have experienced the events of the story firsthand. Nancy Springer's writing is very atmospheric, and her prose paints a vivid picture of Mordred's home by the sea as well as of Camelot. The incest and attempted murder would probably be enough for me to avoid sharing it with a child much younger than that, but obviously every parent will have different standards and every kid will have different levels of sensitivity. Issues of parental strife, personal identity, and finding one's place are all common to adolescence, even in a medieval setting, and Mordred's angst, while off-putting to some adults, will ring very true for middle school and high school readers. This book is short, but it has a very teen sensibility. Throughout the book, Mordred struggles with his desire to be loved by his father and the belief of all of Camelot that he is destined to kill Arthur. ![]() Mordred survives this murder attempt, however, and is rescued and reared by a fisherman and his wife, then later retrieved and taken to live with his mother and half-siblings. I Am Mordred opens with King Arthur placing an infant Mordred - the son of Arthur and his own half-sister - into a boat with many other infants, all of whom are to be drowned. ![]()

I have hope for Pachinko because the plan is for four seasons with eight episodes each-longer than a movie but half the episodes of an average Korean drama season. Even though I’m usually disappointed, I will always advocate for reading the book first-and I’m always curious enough to watch the screen version. Very rarely does the screen version live up to the written word but I’m one who still wants to know the details from the book that get left out of screen productions. Reading a book before seeing a televised or film version can be risky. **SPOILER ALERT: If you have not read Pachinko I recommend you wait to read this post if you don’t want to know what happens. I discovered YJ on Youn’s Kitchen 2 and Youn’s Stay and find her to be lovable and endearing. Youn Yuh-Jung, who was just nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in Minari, is also in the cast. K-drama fans will be interested to know Lee Min-ho and Jung Eun-Chae from The King: Eternal Monarch have both been cast as central figures in this story. I am slowly learning more about the country of my birth.įilming is currently underway for the AppleTV+ production. As a Korean adoptee, I know very little history about Korea so I appreciate all the historical references the story is wrapped in.
