Lady of Avalon. Kindle Customer Pretty much picking up where "The Forest House" left off, this is a three part book. Starting with Eilan's son, Gawen, through to the time of Vivianne. It gives you the back story of how the mists came to be around Avalon, how the line of descendant came to be in Avalon and the roll Avalon took in molding Britannia into what it wouldn't eventually become in "The Mist's of Avalon". I found this to be a very welcome addition to the Avalon series.. Squanders rich material, potential; a disappointment Diane Schirf Lady of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley picks up where The Forest House ended. Avalon has been established under the leadership of high priestess Caillean in the shadow of the holy Tor and close to the Christian brotherhood at Inis Witrin. The first book follows Eilan's son Gawen and his contribution to Avalon, the second establishes Avalon's active role in the politics and future of Britannia, and the third focuses on characters familiar to Arthurians--Vortigern, Vortimer, Viviane, and Taliesin and the Merlin of Britain.Although the mythology and history are rich, the material is squan. Couldn't Get Through It I think I am burned out on Avalon after having read Mists and Forest House one right after the other. I started this one and got halfway through it and could not bring myself to finish it. I'm going to try again soon. I wish there had been some warning about the rape Somehow the one in this book was more graphic and horrible to me than the ones in Forest House. It made it difficult to get past since it's constantly mentioned over and over in the book. Could really be triggering to those who have also suffered from similar violence.
