After having read Mists and then the Lady of Avalon, I went next to the Firebrand which I didn't particularly find myself liking though it did strengthen my beliefs in the Goddess. But when I started Priestess I thought, okay, here we go, will this make me happy or just frustrated. The beginning was everything that I had loved of Bradley's other novels, teachings on Avalon and the study/discovery of the ancient mysteries of the Goddess. As it split when Eilan left Avalon with her husband, IThis is book 4 on the series. Beginning with the Mists of Avalon, this book let us see the real struggles of a Priestess of Avalon in historical time. This Priestess comes from her Mother's giving her life in child birth. As she goes, like her Mother, she has a hard life ahead of her. We are given some insight into the spiritual life & training a woman would receive to become a Priestess. Sadly, the High Priestess of Avalon holds a grudge against the lead character. For it was her sister
I'd give this book three and a half stars. I liked it well enough and it was well written but for me, it lacked some of the magic that made The Mists of Avalon such a fantastic book. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this book is bad, it is not. It simply didn't enage and inspire me the same way as Mists did. Here we follow the live story of Eilan, the daughter of one of the tribe's king's daughter, who is send to Avalon but later will become the mother of Constantine, the first Roman Emperor
The second prequel of The Mists Of Avalon I've read in the serie so far. Though it can be clearly seen on the writing style that this book was finished by Diana L. Paxson - her writing style is surely poorer and more simple than Marion's - I still enjoyed Helena's story very much and it was very touching too. It's more of a historical fiction novel that introduces the reader to the life in ancient Rome, and we can also learn more about the Mysteries. I think that all Avalon-lovers should read
I'm giving this 4 stars even though I am completely DONE with this Avalon series. Hello, was Zimmer Bradley milking this one or what? That being said, "Priestess" was one of the more interesting of the seven (seven!) or so in this series. Zimmer Bradley and co writer Paxson provide an intimate peek into domestic life in Britain and Italy during the fall of the Roman Empire. I also appreciate that she includes canine characters in this book. "Priestess" is yet another tale of the displacement of
Truly interesting exploration of the Roman world at the time of Constantine. The main character, a priestess of Avalon, moves into the world of men to be the wife to one emperor and mother of another.At times the text felt somewhat unwieldy; the pace slowed in the second half of the book and at times I wondered what the point of it all was. However, it was a great look through one person's eyes at the world at that time, and piqued my interest in the Late Roman Empire.
Trying to get through some of the books that have been on my bookshelf for years, and I've apparently read this one before. I don't think it really compared to the Mists of Avalon, and the journey through time, following Eilan throughout the entirety of her life, is a little jumpy. The magic is strange too; are you shown what you're supposed to do, what you will do, or is there actually a decision that's under your control?
