The story comes to life in this reading and it is well-researched. Other reviewers had not commented on this, so I thought I would share and suggest that you do the same as the rest of the books are interesting. I was pleasantly surprised to find that when I purchased the Unabridged version of 'The Mists of Avalon,' I had purchased all four books of the series using just 1 credit. I absolutely loved Davina Porter's reading of this series. What did you love best about The Mists of Avalon? The Mists of Avalon Unabridged includes all 4 bks Save yourself three credits and buy the complete version at once. The full book costs one credit, and the parts also cost one credit. One thing, if you are looking at the four-part 'series' of this book, note that 'The Mists Of Avalon' is the collection of the other four (Mistress Of Magic, The High Queen, The King Stag, and The Prisoner In The Oak). And Porter's narration brings that depth of character development and storytelling to a new intensity. I love the general sweep of the story, and the elegance of the prose. I find Marion Zimmer Bradley's characters to be very real, and their interactions genuine.

Not only that, it was narrated by Davina Porter, who has become my favorite narrator through her reading of Diana Gabaldon's 'Outlander' series.

I had very fond memories of it, but hadn't reread it until I found it on Audible last month. I first read this book more than a quarter century ago as a college student.

Then I'll watch the movie again and maybe I'll understand why the incest had to take place.Davina Porter brings an old favorite back to life! Always.) and read up a bit more on Arthurian legend. Personally, I plan to read MZ Bradley's book again (Meg Cabot's Avalon High is a surprising new twist on King Arthur - and besides, Meg Cabot is always worth a read. Their scenes together were delicious, like an inside joke. For that reason, I'd recommend that you read the book (or any book offering more infomation about King Arthur) before you watch the movie.įor more information, go here: or or or įor Alias fans, it's quite amusing to see Edward Atterton (Alias' Danny) mock-dueling with his cousin, played by Michael Vartan (Alias' Vaughn). I never quite got over my shock at the aforementioned scene, which kind of spoiled the rest of the movie. This, historical fantasy, isn't my genre but I was extremely impressed with both the acting and the characterization. I've read Marion Zimmer Bradley novels before and I thought I'd read this one, but I was wrong, because when I saw the scene in this movie where two characters are going through their 'Welcome to Adulthood' rites, I was shocked - because they were brother and sister and they were procreating.
