Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Lady Mary Stewart, born Mary Florence Elinor Rainbow, was a popular English novelist, and taught at the school of John Norquay elementary for 30 to 35 years.

She was one of the most widely read fiction writers of our time. The author of twenty novels, a volume of poetry, and three books for young readers, she was admired for both her contemporary stories of romantic suspense and her historical novels. Born in England, she lived for many years in Scotland, spending time between Edinburgh and the West Highlands. Mary Stewart's legacy as an author is vast. She is considered by many to be the mother of the modern romantic suspense novel. She was among the first to integrate mystery and love story, seamlessly blending the two elements in such a way that each strengthens the other.

Doesn't quite fit into the Arthurian saga.

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2023

Verified Purchase

I absolutely love Mary Stewart's writing. She is obviously a brilliant writer and I thoroughly enjoyed the first 4 books of the saga. However, the 5th book, The Prince and the Pilgrim, is more of a side story which doesn't have any interaction with King Arthur, Merlin, or Nimue...only references them. The writing was a bit different as it switched perspectives throughout the book, which I found somewhat annoying as it did not read as smoothly as the first 4. I highly recommend the first 4 books, and though this was interesting in sections, it doesn't add to the series.

Gentle Arthurian Romance

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2016

Verified Purchase

I wanted to finish Stewart's Arthurian books, so I broke down and bought the hardback. I'm glad that I did, because I will probably re-read this in the future. It was my "take to appointments" book for several months. That book has to hold my interest over time and be memorable enough that I can set it down and easily resume it a few weeks later.

This is one of the background stories in the Arthurian legends and Mary Stewart has fleshed it out with richly drawn characters. I liked the main characters very much. Alexander grows through his mistakes and Alice proves herself to be quite resourceful. Morgan le Fay plays a major role in the book, Arthur's presence is in the background, and many well-known characters are mentioned while a few appear.

I'd recommend this gentle romance to anyone who enjoys the "less gritty" look at the Arthurian mythos. It is a strong 3.5 stars and a weak 4 stars. I rounded it up because it is well-written and good example of the genre. I think part of the perceived weakness is because it doesn't have the drive of the other Arthurian books she wrote.

Good side story

Another great book on outskirts of her Merlin series. However, borders on romance novel.

A good book, but not as captivating as the Merlin trilogy (called the Arthurian Saga but it's mostly about Merlin).

I love all of Mary Stewart's books. They are always good reading. I miss her a lot. This book was no exception. Right amount of history, and fantasy.

A small quest!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 17, 2022

This was entertaining and good enough on its own but couldn’t compare to The Crystal Cave.

Parallel tale, different style.

Reviewed in Australia on September 9, 2020

Verified Purchase

The previous tetralogy charmed through Merlin's first-person perspective. I was very sad to find that the Legacy version that I bought a couple of years ago is no longer listed, or apparently available.
This tale is set in the same timeframe, but apart from Morgan la Fay, the previously known characters are beyond the horizon. Still decked with the most glorious scenery and charming insights into hopes and fears, the tale is slightly less immediate, having been relegated to the third person.

Pretty disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 31, 2018

Verified Purchase

I am a huge fan of the Merlin trilogy and hoped to have a little more of the same. However I was disappointed, it has not come up to anything like the same standard. The writing doesn't even seem to be the same style at all, to the extent that I wondered if it was really written by Mary Stewart.

... to think this book is a steaming pile of garbage compared to some of Mary Stewart's other books

Reviewed in Canada on November 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

A lot of reviews seem to think this book is a steaming pile of garbage compared to some of Mary Stewart's other books, but I enjoyed it both when I read it as a tween and now. It's not as meaty in terms of history or Arthurian legend as her Merlin trilogy, but it's a good story with good writing, and it's a thoroughly satisfying read, especially if you have a taste for Dark Ages stories.
