Summary
She was Eilan, the daughter of a Druidic warleader and gifted with visions. In a land struggling to survive both Roman conquerors and her own people's enemies, surely fate had marked her to become a priestess of the Forest House.
But first Eilan had chosen a different, forbidden path - to love Gaius, a soldier of mixed blood among the legions sent to subdue her country. So she must hide a terrible secret when she is anointed as the new High Priestess. With mighty enemies poised to usurp the wealth of magic the Forest House sheltered, Eilan could only trust in the power of the great Goddess to find her destiny amidst the treacherous labyrinth in which fate had placed her.

Inspiring
I read Mists of Avalon years ago as I have always been interested in the spirituality of the women in my ancestry. I believe in their magic, which is bought to life in this series, and inspires an inherent need to rekindle what was lost when the male dominant thinking took over.. Bradley seems very knowledgeable about all these secret, mystical ways that lost their value along with the value of what women can be at their very best. These stories speak to an empty space within us. I am hoping that the rest of the series is made available to audible soon. In my opinion Bradley is a great writer, and her stories are rich, deep and compelling.

The Forest House
A wonderful novel which gave me some background of The Mists of Avalon. Story is riveting.
Spoiled only by the narration, sounds like it was being narrated by a computer, not pausing between chapters to draw breath, never mind sentences.

Boring
After reading The Mists Of Avalon countless times I thought I was in for a treat. However this book lacks any depth. Characters are shallow. Very simple storyline which seemed to have little point other than to introduce you to the founding of Avalon. Narrator is monotone and every male character sounds like an English Lord!

Great story, poor narration.
The nation for Forest house to be re-recorded. This narrator has no feeling for the tone of the writing, and her attempt at voices,
particularly male ones, are terrible and get in the way of the text. I tried for a third of the book, but am defeated.
The narrator for the Mists of Avalon was superb. Why not use her again?

Prequel to Mists of Avalon
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
I found the narrator's male voices irritating because they all sounded pompous and old. You don't have to try and sound like a man if you're reading a male character's speech.

Shame about the narration
Although this story is not quite As good as the Mists of Avalon it is a great pity that the narrator of the Mists was not used for this as it would have been so much the better for it
