  Mystical Journey to Avalon

  This is the story of Arthur. Written through the eyes of Morgaine, the Fey. And probably because it is thus biased, I wished that Lancelot could love her instead of Guinevere.

  I have read and re-read this book 3, 4 times. And I still enjoy it. And I still find something different and compelling that I haven't seen before.

  There is particularly a passage in the book that moves me all the time - when Morgaine's mother, Vivianne realises that King Uther Pendragon is actually her soul mate from another life. But he does not recognise her.

  Goddess Fiction

  This book was awesome! I was so enamored with this book I could not put it down. I'm tempted everyday to pick it up and read it again.

  The story of King Arthur, from the point of view of the women. A huge, epic novel, well worth the effort. This is one that will stay on my bookshelf, to be read again someday.

  Good Read until the last 200 pages

  I enjoyed the first two-thirds of this book immensely. I even went back and picked up an Arthurian Encyclopedia to brush up on all of the characters! But, I have to say, the last section of the book really dragged on. Much of it could have been cut as it was repetitive.
