8 unabridged cassettes, narrated by Davina Porter. Book Three of the Mists of Avalon series inolves the imaginative retelling of the Arthurian legend, centering around the pagan priestesses of Avalon, who compete for the soul of Great Britain against the rising tide of Christianity. "The King Stag" takes the listener deeper into the political/religious rivalry in the years following Arthurs coronation. Gwenhwyfar, in possession of a terrible secret, manipulates her husband to secure his loyalty to the Christian church, while Vivians decision to confront Arthur over his betrayal of Avalon results in tragedy. Behind the scenes, Morgaine arranges the marriage of Lancelet, who has become desperate over the hopeless triangle at Camelot. When Gwenhwyfar hears of his marriage, she vows revenge. Through her own marriage to Uriens of North Wales, Morgaine works to strengthen the cause of Avalon. She returns briefly to the Isle of Mists, only to discover that the time is not yet ripe for her to reign. Book Three concludes with the arrival of young Gwydion (Mordred) on the scene.Rating Epithetical Books The King Stag (The Mists of Avalon #3)

Again. Potentialy epic. Dismally soap-operatic. But this leads me to my dilemma. Is there ever an epic novel that doesn't have some kind of soap-operatic qualities (SOQ)? And by SOQ, I mean the creation of a world where lives build upon eachother in such a way that the mention of one name, common to the outsider, brings with it a slew of twisted plot turns and possibly forboding. Does Lord of the Rings have the same qualities, but hidden by a shroud of classicism*? Now I need to read other epicI am not reading the audio edition but cannot find the print on GR as of yet, so here it is! At this point, I am still invested in the characters and their drama between each other is heightened, and a testament to celtic legend--their own personal troubles are sure to distract them from the bigger picture. The series is a well-researched part of Arthurian legend. Mordred shows up as an incredibly well-spoken and eloquent child. Morgaine battles with her love affairs, and is quite unsettling to
An enjoyable continuation of the story.

The saga continues~
This book seemed to be mostly filler, a necessary bridge to the final book but not much on its own. So many of the ever growing list of character names have a similar sound, such that it became too easy to confuse them after awhile, but I'm not convinced that it'll matter by the end.
Sometimes I don't really know how I should feel about a book. This is always the case when I read any book from the Mists of Avalon series and it wasn't any different with this one. This book is not exactly boring. I just got to a point in the story where I just can't stand any of the characters. Not even Morgana. In fact, I spent more time trying not to just burn this book rather than enjoying it properly. Gwenhwyfar is possibly the most annoying, stupid, acidic, venomous, rancid, bitter,
I have to say that I am torn between enjoying Morgane's journey thus far and feeling regretfulness for all that has happened, as in opposition to everything that could have been. Despite my dislike for Gwenhwyfar's actions and how extremely short-minded she is... I couldn't help but feeling sorry for what she had to go through in that tower and for everything that her own mind forces her to endure. She has always been trapped by her own self. And, for that, I feel sorry as well.Time feels like
