I hesitated to review such a darling of the fantasy genre. I have encountered fanatical devotion to a piece of fiction before, but the affection for this book possesses-- or possessed until two years ago-- a religious pitch that I haven’t seen even in Lord of the Rings fans. Thus it was naturally a ...
I wanted to give this book a fair chance, and I figured I would at least find it okay, but…no. I did read the whole thing, but I didn’t like it all. I’m not sure what book everyone who loved it was reading, but I suspect it was it was in another language or something. Just kidding. It’s just we...
The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley is a wonderfully enchanting tale of the Arthurian legends.The book takes you into another world, and lets you explore the time of Arthur through the eyes of a women.This book is wonderfully intricate and full of fantasy, intrigue and romance.

Ah. I was so looking forward to reading this book as I've been wanting to get my teeth in to some Arthurian Legend for a long time now. It was also quite interesting to see it from Morgan le Fey's P.O.V. (and other women besides) but the writing was just terrible and it was so slow and rather predic...
This wasn’t really what I expected it to be—at all. Being a huge fan of all things Arthurian, I’d heard much about this novel and its legacy in the Arthurian world; it was pretty much a must-read, from what I could gather. However, I found myself mostly…bored. And exasperated. I didn’t end up really...
The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley is an Arthurian tale told from the perspective of women, including King Arthur's mother, aunts, sister, and wife. The story tells about their lives and their struggles, hardships, and romances both before and after the birth of King Arthur and the various...
I'm actually a fan of Marion Zimmer Bradley and of Arthurian stories, but compared to her Darkover books, and Arthurian novels such as those by TH White and Mary Stewart among others, I just didn't find this a compelling read or at all original. I do have a friend who is a Pagan who counts this as a...
A retelling of the Arthur legend for the perspective of the women. This variation has quite a bit of substantial changes to it but some that make complete sense. I like tie in to the Virgin Mary as I believe that there is certainly some truth in this.
