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

4.0

A retelling of the legend of King Arthur, told from the viewpoint of the women around him. It's a novel idea (heh) and it made for a great story. The characters are dynamic and multidimensional. I found myself really caring for them and the situations around them. I also found myself hating quite a few of them too. The book was mostly serious, but had enough quips and one liners to keep the reader entertained. I often found myself chuckling while reading. Despite being based off of a fairly well-known legend, the story was still unpredictable and engaging. It was a good story, and it was good at making me think. It is a long read though, so be prepared. I'm a normally quick reader and this book took months. It was worth every page though, and I highly recommend.
