Review of 'The Mists of Avalon' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I enjoyed this telling of the "Arthurian Legend" more than the others that I have read (Once and Future King, White; and Story of King Arthur and His Knights, Pyle). Boring tales of knights fighting for their king, winning over beautiful maidens, and questing have left me tired of the genre....
This telling is dark, real, and touching. I felt the despair of the characters, especially Morgaine. Refreshing, actually.
