Night S Daughter a

Night S Daughter a - Marion Zimmer Bradley I'm a huge fan of Mozart and a fan of Marion Zimmer Bradley, so one would think her novelization of Mozart's opera The Magic Flute would truly be a favorite of mine. I did find the novel entertaining and with interesting takes on Mozart's characters, enough to mark this three stars, but I didn't find it completely satisfying. Among MZB's novels, I don't see this as a standout. Note, I'm not a fan of Mists of Avalon, I thought MZB was at her best not in reinterpreting classic tales such as the Arthurian legends, but in creating her own fantastical world in her Darkover series. And as a Mozart fan, her characterizations of Tamino and Pamina don't really convince me, and like another reviewer on LibraryThing, I think there was a lost opportunity here to give the Queen of the Night, well, another voice.
