I actually enjoyed this book. At first it's kinda boring, BUT after the fall of Atlantis it starts to get interesting. I love Reidel. Soooo cute and sweet. I'm thankful I did read the book.

Great read! True to the spirit of MZB's Avalon series, and Ms Paxson is wonderful. The imagery, characters, and storyline were all wonderful

A thoroughly enjoyable tale of how the survivors of Atlantis may have created the pagan goddess religion of early Britain.

Unfortunately, I think the story centered too much on the relationship between Tiriki and Micail. I kept waiting to see how the roles of Damisa and Elara would play out, but nothing happened.

In any case, I am looking forward to reading the prequel to this novel, which is titled the Fall of Atlantis and features Tiriki and Micail's mother, Deoris and Domaris.

Highly recommended.

Diana L Paxson's use of MZB's notes create a great perquile to the Mists of Avalon

Good, but not as mesmerizing as Mists of Avalon.
