Interpretation Supposing Books The Prisoner in the Oak (The Mists of Avalon #4)

11 CDs / 12.75 Hours Book Four finds Morgaine moving closer to the fate that will set her intractably against Arthur--her lover, brother, and now, enemy. Returning to Camelot during the Feast of Pentecost, Morgaine accuses Arthur of compromising the crown, and demands that he return Excalibur to her. When he refuses, Morgaine arranges a confrontation between her lover, Accolon, and Arthur in the kingdom of Fairy, resulting in Accolons death. Grieving and still without Excalibur, Morgaine makes a hasty retreat to Avalon. When she finally returns to Camelot, it is to retrieve Avalons Holy Regalia, now being used in a Christian mass. Enraged at this betrayal, Morgaine calls upon the Ladys magic, which results in the mysterious "disappearance" of the holy chalice, prompting the companions of the Round Table to embark on a 12-month quest to find it. Events spiral out of control when Lancelet returns, resumes his adulterous relationship with Gwenhwyfar, and is finally exposed. The novel closes with the King Stags death and Morgaines long-anticipated return to Avalon.

Evaluation Out Of Books The Prisoner in the Oak (The Mists of Avalon #4)

I use to argue with my old anthropology professor about which was the best modern version of Camelot, the round table, and all thatshe preferred the T. H. White _Once and Future King_ while I argued for Mary Stewarts Merlin trilogy (plus two). And while its true _The Crystal Cave_ and the others, remain my favorite in fact I like the story of Arthur in most any form (Ill even confess to enjoying the television series _Merlin__), the quest for capital T truth, the heros fatal flaw and all that.

Since I had read the rest of the series, this book gave me closure, but not much else.

I think this is the first time I've ever liked the print book more than the audio. Although I love Davina Porter as narrator, because I couldn't skim over parts like I must have done when I read this book, it seemed a chore for me to finish this. I was completely over Gwenhwyfar and her whining. There seemed to be so much repeating and dragged out scenes. Overall, I love the storyline about the tale of King Arthur and his sister Morgaine. And I loved how the quest for the holy grail was

Here, at the end of a journey, I feel conflicted, this was a tale of desire, power, wanting and failing.I felt so much, anger, fear, desire, I did not know what waited in the end of the book, but I felt in peace, it was a fair and plain ending, that tied everything in the book together in a way that nobody really wanted... Destiny bows to no one.

Out of the four Mists of Avalon books, I think that the second and the fourth are the best. In The Prisoner in the Oak, all of the characters have become old, and Arthur's rule is coming to an end, as is Camelot. The companions have split up in the quest for the grail and Arthur and Morgaine have become enemies due to their difference in faith. The overall loneliness of the book is sometimes overwhelming. However, as the book closes, Morgaine realizes that the goddess has not gone from the

The book is good but it was difficult for me to read with so many inner discussions that I had when reviewing the characters actions, therefore it took me a really long time to finish it.

Oh, the sins of pride, and the pain they produce... A few memorable lines from my favorite books come to my mind: "... people do get hypnotized by the hard choices.". And "The will to be stupid is a very powerful force.". And the final answer to it all: "People before principles."
