Good for what it was, not for Avalon.

I think that this book was a very good idea, but it is nothing like The Mists of Avalon, the book it was a tribute to. It was, however, a worthy achievement of those authors who contributed to the book. Some of the stories will be forever memorable in my mind. I loved this book, and I hope that all fantasy fans at least give it credit for effort!

A good read with a lot of variety

Overall, this was a great book with many interesting stories. Most of the stories were either great, or very pleasing to read. However, the only downfall of this book is the fact that a few not-so-good stories made it tough to read at times.

Retellings of several Arthurian tales follow such plots as Merlin's defeat of Vortigern and Guinevere's sacrifice to a grail-seeking knight, and include the works of such writers as Melanie Rawn, Judith Tarr, and Katherine Kerr. Original.
