An imaginitive story, this tale questions reality as we know it. As Fenton uses an experimental drug for a psychology study, he finds himself leaving his body to enter another world. But is it real, or is this drug causing him to lose his mind? Detailed arguments about the nature of reality are expressed in this book. The author has certainly done her research in the field of parapsychology, and combines this modern study with her extensive knowledge of celtic mythology. The plot is captivating and the details are rich, but characters can sometimes be shallow and predictable. Overall, a worthy read for any fantasy lover.

This was the first Marion Zimmer Bradley book that I read. I was fascinated with the way she blended the different 'worlds'. It is a very well written book and kept me captivated to the end. I am not a fantasy game player but even though this was part of the story, it didn't put me off. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and went on to read The Mist of Avalon series.

Very reminiscent of Daphne DuMaurier's House On The Strand. But still quite good. I liked the psychology in this book and the conflict any good psychologist goes through while struggling with what is reality vs. fiction.

I got this book in perfect shape. It was the one I'd been looking for since I read it in high school. Thank you.
