I don't think it's necessarily held up well over time, and I don't think I'll reread it because of the new revelations about the author. But I think that for the time it was published, it was a surprisingly rich and woman-centric take on the Arthurian legend and a lot more nuanced than simply "Morgaine is perfect". I can see why people might come away with a skewed perception of the protagonist, though. If you take Morgaine's POV at face value, then yes, she's always right and always justified in her actions.

But I don't think we're supposed to take her POV at face value. Go a little deeper and you realize that she's an example of the type of person who has strong convictions... but those convictions aren't always right.

Perhaps. I'll concede that might've been what the author intended, but neither I nor the professors who taught the class I read it for seemed to pick up on that angle.
