Mistress of Magic
by Marion Zimmer Bradley
The Mistress of Magic is book 1 in The Mists of Avalon series by Marion Zimmer Bradley and narrated by Davina Porter. I added this audiobook series to round out my Arthurian Legend Summer Reading List. This series focuses on the women of Arthurian Legend. We are introduced to Igraine, through a series of events becomes wed to Uther Pendragon and has a son named Arthur. However, from her first marriage, she had a daughter named Morgaine. Morgaine is taken to live with her Aunt Viviane, who is the Lady of the Lake and taught about the sight. However, Viviane is plagued by the sight and what the future holds. She must trust the Goddess, even if it means turning on her own kin.
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Guys, why does this keep happening to me?!
I finished the audiobook. I enjoyed the overall storyline and the characters. Davina Porter is a FANTASTIC narrator!! Then while I am researching for this review for some background of the author, I discover that she was accused of molesting her daughter from the ages 3-12. The money from the sales of these books now goes to Save the Children charity.
So I cannot bring myself to listen to the rest of the series. I also had to stop reading TH White’s The Once and Future King series due to the problematic themes and racial slurs. Come on. I just want one decent and unproblematic Arthurian Legend book. So hopefully Mary Stewart and Bernard Cornwell don’t let me down. If the circumstances were different, I would have probably rated this book 4 out of 5 stars. But I just can’t. I am so angry and disgusted. So 1 star it is.
