Judge Containing Books The Forest House (Avalon #2)

Most people don't like Zimmer's books as much as they do Mists of Avalon but after reading the Forest House I realized that all the other books enrich the entire backdrop that is Avalon. You appreciate Mists more because of the others who've played a part in Avalon's story. I liked Eilan and the role she played though it seemed very much slanted that she had very little chance for happiness. I found myself disliking the priests entirely and felt that Lhiannon allowing them so much power was

A beautifully written prequel to the magnificent Mists of Avalon, the story of a doomed star-crossed love between British Priestess, Eilan and a half British half Roman legionnaire Gauis, in first century southern Britain, also takes us to Caledonia (Scotland) , Germany and Rome. Gives us rich insight to and brings to life both the Roman Empire and Celtic Briton society, especially that of Druidic persuasion.At this time the Roman are ruthlessly destroying the Druidic culture and a small b and

A beautiful, but frustrating book. The strength of the women characters in the face of an increasingly patriarchal world made me both proud and upset. Character growth was phenomenal--you could feel the two main characters grow older, from an exuberant and naive youth to experienced adults forced to survive (and shaped by) the consequences of their decisions in a difficult world. I would have like more magic, but what was there was believable and satisfying.

I read these backwards. Read this one before the Lady of Avalon, and then read The Mists of Avalon. That way you have them in order. This book was a bit harder read than the other two, but quite good. My bias may have been a result of reading them out of order.

This book is a prequel to the Mists of Avalon which I haven't read yet and judging by the rest of the reviews, it's probably just as well. The historical content was what interested me most. I love the Roman era and I'm also really interested in the Druid period so it was interesting to see them clash. Originally, I liked the characters of Eilan and Gaius but as the book progressed, their actions continuously annoyed me and I wanted to smack their heads together. It all seemed pointless at some

Pleasantly surprising. Pre-dates "Mists" and King Arthur. All about the war between Romans and Druids - made me want to read the "real" history of this time period! Eilan, grand-daughter of Arch Druid, falls in love with Gauis, son of bigwig Roman.

This book was the weakest of all of Bradley's books I read. She imagines King Arthur as descended from a Celtic Priestess and a Roman soldier. I was not drawn to either of the main characters and, for a book ostensibly about the Druids there was very little detail about them. She breifly mentions the founding of Avalon, but the one detail that stands out is that the head Priestess put the least intelligent woman in charge of the kitchen. Awful! Details of Roman life were interesting but,
