Title: Don't bother--not worth it!
Review: I have long loved Bradley's 'Darkover' novels, but as an Arthurian scholar I was sorely diappointed in her treatment of my favorite legends. Rather than retelling the legend from a feminine (ie: Morgana/Viviane viewpoint) she has produced a pointless soap-opera of pseudo-Arthuriana and bad paganism. If you are into good Arthurian fiction try Mary Stewart's "Crystal Cave" series or Gillian Bradshaw's "Hawk of May"/"Kingdom of Summer." If you are a budding neo-pagan and you want "real druids" (as so many fans of this book seem to think it has) try a history book or face the fact that this is both bad history and bad fantasy. Try Parke Godwin or Persia Woolley for good fantasy with good historical background. Go back to Darkover, Marion, and try again--this book was not worth the paper it was printed on and the best hope for those who liked it is they may grow up eventually and discover real Arthuriana.
