SWORD OF AVALON is a great read. This book continues with
the Arthurian theme of the other books. This story tells
of the beginnings or the origins of the famous sword known
as Excalibur and those associated with it. If you have
read the other books in this series you will not be
disappointed. Diana L. Paxton continues the stories that
Marion Zimmer Bradley started many years ago. Although
none will ever be as good as Marion Zimmer Bradley's works
I truly enjoyed this book and hope to read more in this
series.
With characters like Micail and Tirki being reincarnated
as Mikantor and Tirilan and such it was nice to see the
tie ins to the rest of the books. As the Lady of Avalon
flees she must hide and try to keep her unborn child safe
but the traitors suspect that the heir is still alive and
strive to find him. The reader watches the heir grow up
and sees the many things and experiences that turn
Mikantor into the man he becomes. With help he must do as
fate decrees and fulfill his destiny.
With great descriptions of Bronze Age metalworking and
many historical contexts in this story it almost felt as
if you were really there and experiencing what the
characters were. Not many authors have the skills to do
that, as well as this one has done. I was immersed into
the wondrous world of magic and gods and hated leaving it
when the book finished.
This author does a wonderful job of pulling the reader
into the story and feeding our imaginations with beautiful
scenery and an engaging plot. This story is well written
and fast paced and will hopefully have you searching for
the others in this series if you have not already read
them.
