Subject: Zzoo, good point about a Morgaine/Arthur pairing producing a child who could inherit through both matrilineal and patrilineal lines. I hadn't thought of that. I really liked this POV about the Arthurian legends...(r)

I felt the author really had a handle on a number of points in the legend that never really hung together otherwise. Having Morgaine be a priestess in the old religion made a heck of a lot of sense, as did Arthur being a focal point for religious conflicts of the time.

My heritage on my father's side is English, Welsh, (and some Irish), and I have to say that this legend just really speaks to my heart. I've always seen it as part history, part myth, part storytelling. I loved every bit of this retelling, even if some might see it as...er...*unusual*.

A ritual protest though: Why, why, WHY do they always miscast Lancelot? Don't they know that R.D. is just purrr-fect for the role? ;-)
