A lovely story, really; it just didn’t have the depth and breadth I expected.

Gah, that sucked >.< Well, no, the writing and 90% of the story was good. It was the flippin' ending that got me.

Spoiler

I can't believe Gaius turned into such a bastard! Though I guess I should have seen it coming, with him becoming more and more "Romanized". AND, I can't believe they were both killed!

Ack, I wanted to rate this two stars, but I'll bump it up to three since most of it was good.

Half-baked, badly researched, over-written tripe. My ancestors would have eaten Zimmer Bradley's Celts for breakfast.

Neste livro somos transportados para uma região da Bretanha, em que os habitantes lutam com todas as forças contra a invasão romana.

Eilan e Gaius, dois jovens unidos por grande amor e separados pelos seus povos e pelas suas convicções.

Uma leitura muito descritiva e com um ritmo um pouco lento. Marion Zimmer Bradley tem o sim de construir mundo e de permitir que o leitor viva nele (e sofra).

Gostei mais das Brumas de Avalon, mas gostei de ler o livro que serviu de inspiração.
