5.0 out of 5 stars The second half of Forests of Avalon, prequel to Mists., 11 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Lady of Avalon (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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Can't touch Mists!, 8 Jan 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Lady of Avalon (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.)

3.0 out of 5 stars Plodding through . . ., 7 May 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Lady of Avalon (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?).
