2.0 out of 5 stars
Adequate but hardly stirring,
By A Customer
This review is from: Return to Avalon (Paperback)
It's difficult to tell what these stories have to do with Bradley's work, or what most of them have to do with any conception of Avalon. A handful are interesting, but most are simplistic or muddled--and few show real skill with words. They could easily have been collected under a different title, suggesting that the titular link to Bradley is more a marketing ploy than a developmental reality. I really don't recommend it.

It was okay....,
By Heather "Heather" (Gurley, AL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Return to Avalon (Paperback)
A tribute to the influence of Marion Zimmer Bradley, Return to Avalon is a collection of short stories devoted to the fantasy genre. Authors include Melanie Rawn, Diana L. Paxton, Laura Resnick, Dave Wolverton, Katharine Kerr, Adrienne Martine-Barnes and others. I mostly enjoyed the book, but felt the publicity was misleading. It was not any sort of continuation of MZB's Avalon stories, nor were most of them connected to Avalon's legend in any way. The main focus in each story was finding strength within, communicating with the Goddess, and early Christians confronting the Old Religion. I feel that some of the authors did not have signficant talent relaying their creative ideas on paper.

Loved the book,
By Jill V "krystlmoon" (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Return to Avalon (Paperback)
The stories told did an excellent job of capturing the magic found in Marion Zimmer Bradley's Avalon books. It's a wonderful tribute to her writing style, as well as an excellent resource for authors who are capable of MZB's style
