Rating: - can't touch Mists of Avalon...
...but this was still a better read than I might have expected from some of the reviews. As other people have said, Mists of Avalon really is MZB's masterpiece and is completely unputdownable, but this was a good if uneven read. I loved the first story, got bored with the 2nd and then woke up again when Vivane came on the scene. I did read Forests of Avalon but remember finding it really dull and can't remember anything about it - a huge disappointment after discovering Mists. Having now read Lady ... Read More

Rating: - The second half of Forests of Avalon, prequel to Mists.
This book is the second half of Forests of Avalon, as the events that take place in it have a lot to do with those in Forests. It has the usual rich atmosphere that Marion Zimmer Bradley usually imprints her books with. A must for lovers of Arthurian legends.

Rating: - Not as good as Mists of Avalon,Forest House, but worth it
Lady of Avalon jerked me around too much with sudden breaks and leaps in time, not to mention emotional cliff-hangers, but connects Forest House(which was wonderful) to Mists of Avalon (also great) so it's worth the read. If you're a hopeless romantic like myself, be prepared for gut-wrenchers.

Rating: - Plodding through . . .
Unlike "The Mist of Avolon" and "The Forest House", I'm having a hard time following this one. I'm typically not a science fiction reader, but I enjoyed "The Mist" so much that I wanted to read everything MZB has ever written. I agree with a previous reviewer who stated that it felt more like reading a series of short stories. The one redeming part? - setting up a link with the preists and allowing us to meet Father Joseph of Aramathia(sp?).

Rating: - Can't touch Mists!
Though I eagerly awaited this book, I was sorely disappointed! I was bored. I felt like I read the same story 3 times, and none of the characters had any verve. I agree with much of Ms. Olson's review; the stories lacked characterization, and I questioned much of their behavior. However, I DID find the ritual stuff interesting -- in fact, to my mind, that was the best part of the book. In sum, "Mists" was best, "Forest House" was okay, and "Lady" was the worst of the three. (Thank goodness, I read ... Read More
