Isolde, Queen of the Western Isle by Rosalind Miles is the first of her Tristan and Isolde novels. I love stories based on the Arthurian legends, but was not familiar with Miles works until now. I found the subject matter interesting, but the writing lacking.
Since there are more books to come in this series, we leave our hero and heroine quite alive and well at the end of the novel, and you would have to read the rest of the series to find out how their story ends, if you aren't already familiar with it.
I loved Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley and was hoping to be swept away in a similar fashion by this book, but unfortunately, I was not. A mildly enjoyable read for those who like this subject matter.
