Title: disappointing prequel to Mists of Avalon
Product review: I don't know about you, gentle readers, but I loved the MISTS OF AVALON, affectionately known as Ms Magazine goes to Camelot. The pageantry, the mythology of the Goddess, the feminism! Great book no question. However in Ms. Bradley's new prequel, LADY OF AVALON, I was grievously disappointed. The cover shows a Stevie Nicks look a like in a blue smock with a slightly constipated look on her face. That's as good as it gets.Reincarnation, heavy handed New Age philosophy and very sketchy characters (the priestesses of the sacred Isle of Avalon snipe at each other like annoyed girl scouts) add up to a mishmash unworthy of Ms Bradley and her previous works. It left such a bad taste in my mouth that I had to go rent Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
