it was amazing
bookshelves: fantasy

It took me a long time to settle comfortably into this book - to get to know and like the two sisters, Domaris and Deoris- a third of the way into it, I was hooked.
The Fall of Atlantis doesn't actually take place on Atlantis until the very end of the book, and it only prophecies it's downfall.

The book is largely about Domaris and her younger sister Deoris. Their mother died when Deoris was born, and Demoris was like a mother to her younger sister.

Domaris becomes a Priestess of Light, whereas Deoris gets mixed up with Riveda, a Grey Robe Priest and dabbles in black magic, which becomes both Domaris and Deoris' downfall.

A very good storyline - I'd like to have seen some familiarities between this book and the Avalon series, but sadly found nothing remarkably obvious.... However, the storyline was good enough for me to give it a five star rating, and I believe the book was written before the Avalon series was even written!

Marion Zimmer Bradley certainly had a unique imagination - I love her books and the way she wrote with so much description. Truly unique! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
