Commentary To Books The King Stag (The Mists of Avalon #3)

8 unabridged cassettes, narrated by Davina Porter. Book Three of the Mists of Avalon series inolves the imaginative retelling of the Arthurian legend, centering around the pagan priestesses of Avalon, who compete for the soul of Great Britain against the rising tide of Christianity. "The King Stag" takes the listener deeper into the political/religious rivalry in the years following Arthurs coronation. Gwenhwyfar, in possession of a terrible secret, manipulates her husband to secure his loyalty to the Christian church, while Vivians decision to confront Arthur over his betrayal of Avalon results in tragedy. Behind the scenes, Morgaine arranges the marriage of Lancelet, who has become desperate over the hopeless triangle at Camelot. When Gwenhwyfar hears of his marriage, she vows revenge. Through her own marriage to Uriens of North Wales, Morgaine works to strengthen the cause of Avalon. She returns briefly to the Isle of Mists, only to discover that the time is not yet ripe for her to reign. Book Three concludes with the arrival of young Gwydion (Mordred) on the scene.

Appraise About Books The King Stag (The Mists of Avalon #3)

These books have all ended abruptly which, I know, is in part because I'm listening on CD, and you can't really know when the ending is coming. The reader of the story is wonderful!I didn't enjoy this book as well as the others, but it's still entertaining. I can't stand Gwen's character.



Out of the four books that make up The Mists of Avalon, this one is my least favorite. There was too much of Gwenhwyfar and her whining, and almost nothing of Avalon itself. Morgaine loses her sense of herself in the real world and is tricked into marrying old King Uraines of Wales. There was almost nothing of the strong women that encompasses the rest of The Mists of Avalon.

Again. Potentialy epic. Dismally soap-operatic. But this leads me to my dilemma. Is there ever an epic novel that doesn't have some kind of soap-operatic qualities (SOQ)? And by SOQ, I mean the creation of a world where lives build upon eachother in such a way that the mention of one name, common to the outsider, brings with it a slew of twisted plot turns and possibly forboding. Does Lord of the Rings have the same qualities, but hidden by a shroud of classicism*? Now I need to read other epic

Just finished re-reading this book and I really liked it and even saw it with different eyes. I'm happy that Morgaine finally got some sense into her head and started doing what was right. I still hate Gwenhwyfar so much... I truly hate her character. I loved going back to Avalon and I cried with in the Viviane scene! Can't wait to start the next and I'm going to miss Avalon when it ends.

I still hate Guinevere... but I'm committed

Still a great book series
