Merlin. Morgana. Nimue. King Arthur. Yes, of course I loved it. Book focuses on Morgana and and her time in the mystical world of Avalon. Other strong female characters like the dark and mystical Nimue are explored as well. Hits all the fantasy buttons for me with magic and a heavy dose of Druidism. One of my all time favorites. Totally agree with another reviewer that if you like this book you should read Mary Stewart’s Crystal Cave trilogy.

I originally picked up this book because I enjoyed reading the Merlin trilogy by Mary Steward in high school. I wasn't sure how much I would like this book, but I ended up loving it. It's a really fascinating take on the Arthurian Legend and I also loved the complicated characters. It's a long book, but the pages flew by for me.

A tough read at times, but the end is worthwhile.

I could not put this book down. I was so captivated by the world created in the stories. The familiar stories of King Arthur and his knights are rewoven through eyes of the women who guided them: Priestesses, Faeries, Great Queens, and Sorceresses. Oh my! A must read for any fantasy fiction enthusiast! :D

I have never been one to like the Arthurian legends. They just never interested me. Then I read "Mists of Avalon". I loved how Bradley wrote the story from the perspective of the female characters. I liked the conflict between the ancient pagan religions and the "new" Christian religion, and how it was presented. I loved ultimately how human the characters were, in the choices that they made.

The story of Camelot from the perspective of the female characters. I couldn't put it down!

I have read this story 3 times and loved it each time. It is a charming and seemingly well researched retelling of the Merlin & King Arthur story from a different perspective - that of the women in Arthur's life. The views and life and beliefs of Morgan le Fay are particularly intriguing. Bradley is an outstanding storyteller and she does not disappoint here.

I'm not a big fan of the King Arthur stories--or anything about the pagan druids-- as most of them are set during medieval Britain, rather than the historically correct Roman Britain. I did find The Mists of Avalon rather interesting when I read it in 2000, howbeit...too much on the pagan religion.

The classic tale of Camelot and Arthur as told from a feminist perspective. Bradley weaves the story around the lives of Morgan le Faye and all the powerful Ladies of the Lake.

The magic of Arthurian legend, Celtic mythology, and pagan spirituality with a feminist slant. Required reading for all teen girls, right? It will change the way you look at these characters and the perspectives of historical interpretation.
