who here has read this book? i want to know what you think. it's a really good cool femenist book, that puts a lot of emphsis on cristan god vs the pagan goddess, and is just a really good book if you like stuff from the time of king arther

I've read the whole series, Mists of Avalon, Prisoner in the Oak, King's Stag. They really put a different spin on the old story of Arthur and its nice to see it done from the prospective of the women, though even though it probably was inevitable, I don't like how the Christian religion pushed the native religion out and basically took over. Oh, I'm missing Lady of Avalon, I think its called, the prequel to the series. The books had good background settings and nice discussions between the characters about magic and religion and the fight to save both points of view. I like to think that the Isle of Avalon is still out there somewhere waiting for those with the power and courage to find it if such can be done in our modern world of electronics and ionic wave interference.
