no, non ce la faccio...col fantasy ho definitivamente chiuso!e che non si dica che non ci ho provato

ShanaPat | Sep 10, 2017 |

L’histoire fait suite au 2 nouvelles de The Fall of Atlantis, mais en se situant plus explicitement dans le cycle d’Avalon.

Impossible d’accrocher : l’histoire est trop différente de celles du cycle. Il n’a pas de réels liens comme avec les autres livres, et on patauge avec une flopée de personnages évoluant dans une culture inconnue. Ce n’est pas réellement mauvais ou mal écrit, mais simplement inintéressant.

Je me suis arrêté au quart du livre, pour passer à autre chose. Tant pis pour ce (faux) préquel au cycle d’Avalon, on ne rate rien car il n’y a aucune révélation. (

I loved Marion Zimmer Bradley's "Mists of Avalon". This book is loosely based on her mythology, but since Marion died shortly after "Mists of Avalon" was published, most of the other books attributed to her were written by Diana Paxson. Diana is an OK writer, but it isn't up to the quality of Marion, so that said, this book provides some backstory to "Mists of Avalon". It supposes that the people who founded the mythological Avalon came from world of Atlantis; that they escaped as Atlantis was falling into the sea. It also supposes that the 2 main characters, Micael and Tiriki are the former lives of Merlin and Morgaine in the Camelot era. It describes the creation and fall of Stonehenge and the discovery of the Crystal Caves which are mentioned in the myth of Merlin and Arthur of Camelot. All in all it's an interesting idea and story, but the writing leaves a little to be desired. (

I really enjoyed reading Marion Zimmer Bradley's Ancestors of Avalon by Diana L. Paxson. In this story the combined kingdoms of Atlantis are destroyed by a cataclysm and the survivors must make their way to new lands to preserve their knowledge and traditions. The story kept me engaged despite being slow paced and when it was over it left me craving more. There are more books in the series, but not with the same characters(unless you count reincarnations that aren't even mentioned in the books for the most part). This book is the direct sequel to The Fall of Atlantis and takes place about 30 years later. The Fall of Atlantis was not originally part of the Avalon series, but Ancestors of Avalon connects it to the rest of the series. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical type fantasies with spiritual themes or anyone that is fascinated by the legends of Atlantis and Avalon. (
