Reception[edit]

The novel received a mixed reception, and was less successful than The Mists of Avalon.[3] Publishers Weekly called Lady of Avalon a "splendid" prequel that "combines romance, rich historical detail, magical dazzlements, grand adventure and feminist sentiments into the kind of novel [Bradley's] fans have been yearning for."[4]
