User blog comment:Adelina Le Morte March/Merlin: The "family friendly" version of The Mists of Avalon?/@comment-5945113-20130124095809/@comment-5659316-20130125025036

Actually, I didn't find Mists all that violent (compared to other novels of the same/similar genre), and the film version isn't nearly as rough and gritty as it could have been, either -overall, it was done pretty tastefully.

The book itself, though, is a bit explict.
