Negative Positive
Title: The Mists of Avalon
Review: This is the first book I've read that concentrates on the Arthurian legends from the viewpoint of the women involved. I found the perspectives of Morgaine as the priestess of the old Druid religion and Gwenhyfar as the champion of the new Christian religion fascinating. While neither is presented as all good or all bad, I think Christianity comes out with perhaps a worse name than it deserves. Nevertheless the book was a compelling page-turner and the attention to detail of the period was excellent. I look forward to reading more of Marion Zimmer Bradley's works.
