Marion Zimmer Bradley
A posthumous recipient of the World Fantasy Award for Lifetime Achievement, Marion Zimmer Bradley reinvented - and rejuvenated - the King Arthur mythos with her extraordinary Mists of Avalon series. In this epic work, Bradley follows the arc of the timeless tale from the perspective of its previously marginalized female characters: Celtic priestess Morgaine, Gwenhwyfar, and High Priestess Viviane.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
It will make you think about many topics and question your understanding.What did you like best about this story?
The fact that's is such a long story yet the narrative keeps it interesting to the end.Any additional comments?
This story is written from the point of view of the women of the legends, roles are reversed and deserved homage is given to the 'old' religion and it's tolerance of 'new' religions.The best version of the Arthurian legends

The one and only criticism that I have is the narrator is a little emotionless. It's a sweeping saga encompassing anguish, pain, joy and all that. The characters are often portrayed screaming in anger or desperate intensity, in pain, tearful, weeping or excited, but the polite, cultured voice of Davina Porter carries on in the same measured tones throughout. I wouldn't say expressionless, but certainly pretty emotionless. She never screams /cries /weeps/ has a break in her voice, despite very clear directions in the text requiring the narrator to show extreme emotions. She also ignores text cues such as "she said in a shaky little voice", "his voice broke", "she said tearfully" or "spoken in a North country accent" etc - everything is spoken in the same polite level tones, which does detract somewhat from the drama. She also misses cues that would help with the intonation of sentences, so the emphasis falls on the wrong word several times on every page. She barely changes tone between the male and female characters, so often you can't tell who is speaking until we hear their name. The only exception to this is King Lot and his sons, who are from Orkney. Here she attempts a badly mangled Scottish accent.... although Gwydian, who is fostered with this family, ends up with a Yorkshire accent!?? (which is described in the text as north country). I can't figure this out at all, as he would surely have a Scottish accent - he lived until early adolescence in Scotland and then went to Avalon. Possibly this why she doesn't attempt any more ambitious accents! Davina's cultured, gentle voice, while certainly suitable for the subject of the book, could be a little more expressive and she needs to have read through the book more carefully first.
Excellent Arthurian story
