Review
"The novel Marion Zimmer Bradley's fans have been yearning for." -- "Publishers Weekly" (starred review)
Product Description
This, the eagerly awaited link between THE FOREST HOUSE and THE MISTS OF AVALON, spans the creation of Avalon itself, right up to the birth of King Arthur.
This enchanting novel of the Holy Isle is told through the successive lives of its three most powerful priestesses: Caillean; Dierna; and finally Viviane, high priestess of Avalon and Lady of the Lake who safeguards the Grail.

Format:Paperback
This book is the second half of Forests of Avalon, as the events that take place in it have a lot to do with those in Forests. It has the usual rich atmosphere that Marion Zimmer Bradley usually imprints her books with. A must for lovers of Arthurian legends.

Format:Hardcover
Though I eagerly awaited this book, I was sorely disappointed! I was bored. I felt like I read the same story 3 times, and none of the characters had any verve. I agree with much of Ms. Olson's review; the stories lacked characterization, and I questioned much of their behavior. However, I DID find the ritual stuff interesting -- in fact, to my mind, that was the best part of the book. In sum, "Mists" was best, "Forest House" was okay, and "Lady" was the worst of the three. (Thank goodness, I read "Mists" first; otherwise, I would have missed the whole Darkover series, being unimpressed with MZB.)

Format:Hardcover
Unlike "The Mist of Avolon" and "The Forest House", I'm having a hard time following this one. I'm typically not a science fiction reader, but I enjoyed "The Mist" so much that I wanted to read everything MZB has ever written. I agree with a previous reviewer who stated that it felt more like reading a series of short stories. The one redeming part? - setting up a link with the preists and allowing us to meet Father Joseph of Aramathia(sp?).

Not as good as Mists of Avalon,Forest House, but worth it
Lady of Avalon jerked me around too much with sudden breaks and leaps in time, not to mention emotional cliff-hangers, but connects Forest House(which was wonderful) to Mists of... Read more
