A Prince Of Cornwall Book

This book is the prequel to The Mists of Avalon and I've read it quite a few times over the years when I would binge read the entire series. There are actually 3 novellas that make up this book. The first is the direct sequel to The Forest House and tells us when, why, and how the secret Avalon was created by the High Priestess. The second novella is the story of a priestess who is made to marry a Britannian Admiral to tie Britannia to Avalon. The 3rd novella gives the back story of Viviane.

The 1st and 3rd stories were my favorites. I was kind of meh about the 2nd story. This is the first time I listened to this book on audio and I would put it aside for a year and then pick it back up and then put it back down for six months, etc. I think it took about 3 or 4 years to actually finish. Mostly because I've read it so many times, I was just using it as a filler book in between my audio books when I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to start next. This last time, I noticed I was at 61% and I was experiencing a major book hangover. I need my comfort books to get me out of the hangover, and this one did the trick. Except now I've picked up The Mists of Avalon on audio book and am reading that one. I'm officially sucked back into Avalon and the Authurian legend... Again...
