Product Description
Powers of light and darkness vie for supremacy in a world of ancient splendor. A wounded Atlantean prince washed up on a foreign shore becomes the focal point in an epic battle between good and evil when the full extent of his powers becomes known. At one corner are the Priests of the White Robe, guardians of powerful natural forces which could threaten the world if misused; on the other side are the Black Robes, priests who seek to master these forces for their own benefit. Caught in the middle are the sisters Deoris and Domaris, whose lives are drawn into a web of powerful sorcery conjured by the priests -- the same sorcery which will cause THE FALL OF ATLANTIS.

When I first picked up THE FALL OF ATLANTIS I was not able to put it down. Others have said this is not Bradley's finest work, but I wholly disagree. It has an engaging and complicated storyline that captures your attention and characters you can visiualize because they seem so real! Bradley knows what she's doing and this book won't disappoint you. Be sure to read it; you won't regret it!!!! I Loved this book...

I read this book on the recommendation of a neighbor, and while it did not enchant me like The Mists of Avalon, I still loved it. It is in no way light or joy-filled, but its very darkness is what makes The Fall of Atlantis so compelling. Bradley's characters suffer deeply, and the reader suffers along beside them. Even their final triumph is so tinged with sorrow, that it is impossible to say whether this book ends happily or not. The Fall of Atlantis is a novel of depth, of humanity's weaknesses. In reading it, we are shown that light is forever twined with darkness; the one is just a shade of the other.

I loved this book, though it was not as captivating as The Mists of Avalon, it was definatly superb. Filled with characters you could sink your teeth into and plot changes that were truly excellent. I would definatly recomend, but suggest you look at it as a seperate novel, rather than in comparison to some of MZB's other works.

Inspired Characterization/Good Prose Style/Insipid Plot
This book wove fascinating interrelations between the characters, but--oh no--not the whole lame quest for power/devil worship plot again.

Captivating and Well Done!
I think "The Fall of Atlantis" was a very dramatic, emotional book. The first pages seem very good yet not superb, while at the end, you cannot put this book down. Read more

A good book to read if understood...
THE FALL OF ATLANTIS, was a fairly good book. I have read mostly all of MZB's novels, including the Forest House, Lady of Avalon, Mists of Avalon, The Firebrand, Exile's Song, and... Read more

Hmmmmm...
I really enjoyed reading The Fall of Atlantis, but it seemed to lack something that is in Marion Zimmer Bradley's other books. Overall, though, it was a great book.

Um...was I reading the same book?
I personally loved The Fall of Atlantis; I would never hesitate to recommend it. Granted, it's a darker, more subtle novel than either Mists or Firebrand, but in my opinion this... Read more
