Those who enjoyed Marion Zimmer
Bradley's retelling of the Arthurian legend will be quite happy with
this new alternative, which has plenty of well-described love scenes.
It's a shame about the historical inaccuracies in the book, which render Anya a 'Rus from Jutland'. Evidently author confused Viborg in Karelia with Viborg in Denmark. All notes about supposed equivalency of Rus with Vikings are thereby invalidated. However since this is not a history book per se, it is only interfering with our suspension of disbelief. Also the dying visions are rendered in full as if Anya came back to life to write them down. Third mistake: heavy mention of using the herb coneflower, which is exclusive to North America. Scratch the Pulitzer off the wish list, Heirs of Camelot.
That said, it's a pleasant, Goddess-affirmative fantasy of feminine fulfillment. I have a feeling the cursing of Morgaine is going to set up plenty of future adventures.
