 Equestrienne | Jan 5, 2021 |  I picked this up while on my Arthurian fiction kick, and remember being apathetic towards it overall. (  )1  resoundingjoy | Jan 1, 2021 | I absolutely loved this book. First off, the fact that it is a familiar story, but told from the perspective of the female gender is such a refreshing change of pace for Arthurian tales. I enjoyed the "emotional" aspect brought such a commonly written about time in history. (  ) julieandbeli | Dec 7, 2020 | I was ...really weirdly attached to this book in middle school ibazel | Aug 7, 2020 | I've started and stopped this one multiple times, each time reading further than the last. But inevitably I can't turn off the part of my brain that knows too much about the author's history and it dampens my enthusiasm. Maybe I'll read it start to finish one day. PhasicDA | Aug 3, 2020 |
 In ''The Mists of Avalon,'' Marion Zimmer Bradley's monumental reimagining of the Arthurian legends, the story begins differently, in the slow stages of female desire and of moral, even mythic, choice. Stepping into this world through the Avalon mists, we see the saga from an entirely untraditional perspective: not Arthur's, not Lancelot's, not Merlin's. We see the creation of Camelot from the vantage point of its principal women - Viviane, Gwynyfar, Morgaine and Igraine. This, the untold Arthurian story, is no less tragic, but it has gained a mythic coherence; reading it is a deeply moving and at times uncanny experience.

England i 4-500-tallet. På den hellige ø, Avalon, lægger den synske ypperstepræstinde Viviane og troldmanden Merlin planer for, hvordan de kan bevare den keltiske gudetro og samle landet, som trues af saxernes indtrængen og kristendommens udbredelse. No library descriptions found. |

2) Yes, I am aware of the author's misdeeds.
3) Since I am not a neurotic, narcissistic, delusional, hysterical, shrieking, shrill, judgmental, virtue signalling, butt licking warrior of social justice........I love this book and don't give a flying fuck about anyone else's opinions.
4) People who are bothered by this five star review need to sit down and really evaluate their lives and find some purpose for their existence. (
