Hoping for the same level of storytelling and "Goddess-ness," I picked up "The Forest House." The quick summary is that "Forest House" does not have the same level of tension and intrigue that I felt "Mists" has. There were some plot points that made me wonder why they were written at all. Some character development was lush, only for those characters not to play a major part in the story. There were events that I wish were expanded greatly but were rather condensed and some events that were explained in great detail, but didn't contribute appreciably to the outcome of the story. Halfway through, I felt disappointed with "Forest House," but certainly intended to read to the end.Having given my criticisms, there were also two parts that captured the intensity that I felt "Mists" possesses and, therefore, make "Forest House" absolutely worth reading. One was an initiation ceremony that was so beautifully done that I still think about the imagery in it. The other part is the ending - the last 30 pages or so. The tension that seemed lacking suddenly ratcheted up and the purpose of the story became clear. There is very little resolution in this story, sort of like "The Empire Strikes Back," which stands on its own as a sort of coming-of-age story, but is best seen in context of the real resolution of "The Return of the Jedi." On a grander scale, however, the ending of "Forest House" also demonstrates how the characters - all of us, really - play roles in the purpose of the Universe. The Goddess doesn't forget about us and let us founder for no reason. What seems trivial could have a far-reaching consequence, even if you don't understand it in this life. I'm currently reading "Lady of Avalon," which is showing the consequences of "Forest House" that ultimately lead into "Mists.""The Forest House" is definitely worth reading. There is beauty in the author's writing that cannot be missed. But expect to need to read the next book for satisfaction. If you've enjoyed "Mists," seeing the story to its conclusion is the right thing to do, anyway. We could all use more Goddess in our lives. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Although not quite as good as MISTS OF AVALON *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 15, 2004* this prequel is still excellent.The story is set in the days of Roman occupation of Britain. Gaius, a young Roman officer and son of the local Roman commandant with his British wife has met and fallen in love with Eilan, the daughter of a powerful Druid family. Neither family approves of the match and forces the two apart. For the rest of their lives they met again and again only to be torn apart. Ultimately their unfulfilled love sets the stage for the events in MISTS OF AVALON.The story is again told, at least in part, from a feminine point of view. As in MISTS there is a greek tragedy feel of unescapable doom. The characters are engaging and 'feel real', the plot is compeling making this a book that is hard to put down. It does not quite live up to MISTS due at least in part, to its more simplistic story line. Unlike MISTS' numerous story lines THE FOREST HOUSE focuses on Eilan and Gaius with Caillean, a priestess of the Forest House filling in gaps. This prequel is also significantly shorter. Still for any fan of MISTS OF AVALON this is a must read and would be enjoyable on its own as well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ good prequel to the mists *by J***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 27, 2019* it's a good start of prequel to the mists. I still believe that the mists of Avalon is the greatest of them all, but the imagery details of the forest house is a match for it. I just wish that some parts of the plot were a bit more developed. it's much less political than the mists, but it still has its aura of complexity and deepness to each character. But again, if I wish there were more to it, that means I liked it well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/4700204-the-forest-house-avalon-book-2](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/4700204-the-forest-house-avalon-book-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
