Title: Not worth my time
Review: I love the Avalon series and never tire of Bradley's beautiful, almost lyric prose. So I really wanted to like this book. I tried to read it several times and was never able to get through more than 40-50 pages. Paxton made an earthquake, a volcano eruption and the death of an entire civilization so boring I kept falling asleep. Dozens and dozens of names are mentioned in the first 50 or so pages. Most of these people are never seen or heard from again. Characters that do make it into the story are so one-sided and shallow that there is no way to get engaged in the story. I kept re-reading sections just to figure out what was going on and remember who was related to whom. I finally gave up, it just wasn't worth the effort.
