Read five or six of her novels (besides the Arthurian ones) in college. Had a friend who lent them to me (she was into Mary Stewart, I was into her, what can I say?). Found the blend of romance and darker mystery quite intriguing. Moved on from there to Mary Renault's Alexander series. And then, for some reason, got into William Golding and forgot about the Marys. Maybe I should re-read one, just to see if the old magic lingers. (And just to put all this in context, particularly for Jheem, I was a voracious reader of the worst sort of romances when I was in school - Mills&Boon - and read, when I counted, over 70 of them between the ages of 13 and 14. I am surely destined for death everlasting.)
