Critical Commentary and Awards
Reviews have been very complimentary, with The Times Online saying "This is a wonderful, grown-up fantasy about growing up and moving on, and going home." and The Guardian commenting "Mythago Wood was a seminal expression of British fantasy, and Avilion, though lacking its predecessor's narrative drive and intensity, is an enthralling reworking of myth and a haunting vision of love and loss unmatched in contemporary fantasy."
Avilion was a finalist for a 2010 Mythopoeic Fantasy Award in the Adult Literature Category. It won the 2010 Best Fantasy and Horror Award from the Czech Akademie of Science Fiction.
