Review Summary: My Favorite Book Ever
Review: Mists of Avalon is my favorite book hands down. I have read it about 10 or so times and every time I read it, it is just as interesting and ensnaring as the first time I picked it up. I like to think of it as Lord of The Rings meets Harry Potter. I find this book has just the right level of language so that it is not overbearing but it also satisfies an adult. The book is easy to read and there is plenty of it. My favorite part is the constant conflict between man and woman, god and goddess and the different people in the kingdom.

Review Summary: One of my very favorite books
Review: I rarely read books more than once, but have read this multiple times. I love the story. i love the twist of the story and the feminist aspect. it is a very long book but it doesn't seem so when you are reading it. It holds your attention very well and is mesmerizing. It is my favorite in the series. This is definitely a classic book and a must read for young women.

Review Summary: Favorite Book - By Far!
Review: The writing of Marion Zimmer Bradley is beautiful. It stimulates your mind while you're reading and pulls you deep into the story. This is by far my favorite version of the story of King Arther, and it is the best tale I have found regarding Morgaine and the island of Avalon.
I would most definitely recommend this book to anyone who would like a stimulating read that allows you to lose yourself in a story that will inspire you to look into the legend further.

Review Summary: A Masterpiece
Review: This is one of the most beautifully written and crafted books I have ever read. The characters are so real you feel as if you know them, the narrative so well woven that you want to read the whole novel in one sitting. I was sad when I finished it because I didn't want it to end. From start to finish, an incredibly moving, enchanting masterpiece. There is nothing I can say that would praise this book highly enough.

Review Summary: Inspiring & enthralling fantasy
Review: This is one of the books I read many years ago, that inspired me to read more about my Pagan cultural background. It is a gritty tale, in the tradition of the dark & at times disturbing style of our own ancestral myths.
It is well written, and like all good fantasy, draws the reader into a world of intrigue and endless possibility. It also offers a sympathetic view of Pagan spirituality.
As long as you avoid taking this as anything more than inspirational fantasy, it is a darn good read.
