A review by crabbybarlow
The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley

2.0

Second (technically third) of my summer rereads. Man I got 500+ pages into this and decided I'd had enough. As someone who loves both epic fantasy as well as the musical "Camelot," I truly wanted to like this, but couldn't get past how dull and terrible the writing was. Characters whims and beliefs change from page to page, and the main struggles of faith in the book get dragged on through tedious and repetitive conversations. Also, Bradley had very little idea how to authentically create characters (if I had to read one more time that Morgaine performed this or that task as "befitted a high priestess of Avalon" I thought I was going to hurl my book across the room. At page 500, I should know something like this about a character without it being added on to her every word and action).
Bla
onto something more fulfilling!
