Lady of Avalon

After reading two super depressing books, I was really eager to read Lady of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley.  This is the book that ties together the stories in The Forest House and Mists of Avalon.  I really liked it a lot.  This story is broken up into three parts, each telling of the lives of three different High Priestesses of Avalon.  I think my favorites were the first and third parts.  The first part begins right after The Forest House ends, and the third part is all about Viviane - the Lady in Mists of Avalon - and her upbringing.  The second part was kind of slow for me I think because there were too many battle scenes.  Another thing that was cool about this book was that there was a lot of mystical pagan stuff in it, which helped to explain why certain rituals were performed and some of the history behind them.  I would recommend this book to anyone to has already read any of the Avalon books, or anyone who is way into historical fantasy.  I will definitely be reading the rest of the Avalon books.
