Young and old alike will enjoy this magical Arthurian reinvention by science fiction and fantasy veteran Marion Zimmer Bradley. --Bonnie Bouman --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
I am so tired of this idea that to be a feminist means that you dislike men. Since when is a "strong woman" a woman who puts down and manipulates men at every turn? I have better words for women like that.
I'll get to the point... I read a lot of fantasy and also some science books. I've read some BORING technical books on subjects as chaos theory, but this was one of the books I had to struggle most to be able to finish.
In one word. DULL. This could have been a good book, but with 40% of the size or less. Hundreds and hundreds of pages where NOTHING happens.
The characters (or some of their aspects) are a insult to the arthurian legends. Little action happens, this book is WAY too long for what it offers.
It's kinda like a slow SOAP OPERA from a female point of view (example: many lines describing women seweing while warriors are at battle but no details about what is going on outside the castle).
Comparisions to Tolkien are a joke. What has this to do with J.R.R? Do not compare the master to a soap opera writer.
Give me a break, I'd give it 4 stars if it were a 200 page book, but it's really too long for such empty, boring characters.
- much too long - bad ending - demonizing one's opponents: the hallmark of the bad writer
