So this book is one of Avalon series, obviously, and historically it fits between The Forest House and Mists of Avalon. The Priestess of Avalon occurs at the same time as the middle part of this book but about different characters. This book has the same writing style and themes as the other books, so if you like those you will like this one and if you don't like those, you probably won't enjoy Lady of Avalon.This book is broken up into three parts, each part following one High Priestess and her time ruling in Avalon. The book was interesting and enjoyable in itself, but I really liked how it ties together the storyline during the The Forest House to the storyline in Mists of Avalon. Marion Zimmer Bradley really worked out a whole history of Avalon that parallels written history perfectly. It is pretty amazing when you think about all of the research that must have gone into these. I loved it, these are some of my favorite books. Read Mists of Avalon and decide if you like that first before you get into the rest of the series.
P.S. I am all caught up on my book journaling. Now I can go read some more books.

I stumbled upon your blog while searching for a picture of the cover of Sara Gruen's "Riding Lessons" which I just started reading. I just finished "Water for Elephants" and LOVED it! So, I thought I would read her other two, as well. Anyway, I'm going to add you to my sidebar as I'm always looking for the "next good read."
