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 Ar...more
:) uma versão muito própria de Marion Zimmer Bradley, sobre a tão famosa Flauta Mágica de Mozart .
já o li há uns bons anos atrás e tenho a memória de uma historia fantástica, onde a coragem, o amor e a perseverança são sentimentos presentes em cada palavra.

I first discovered this book when I was 11 years old and it's still one of my all-time favorite novels. 'Night's Daughter' is a charming fantasy tale and a delightful read.
A very enjoyable fantasy novel, full of rich culture and memorable characters. A tale of discovering your own true, strong self.
Based on Mozart's "The Magic Flute." The beginnning of my Mozart year.
I was going to give this two stars, but then I loved the Author's Note at the end so much I gave it an extra star.
I don't know what it is about this book that I love so much, but it's one of my favorites. I think it's out of print, at least it was when I tried to buy it, I had to go through Buccaneer Book Search & pay $40 for a used paperback with a creased spine (I hate creased spines), but at least I now own it. Marion Zimmer Bradley is just one of the greats in my mind, & this is one of her better books. It's so different from anything I've ever read. It's worth picking up, if you can find a copy...more
This book is just another reason why Marion Zimmer Bradley is my al time favourite author. Night's Daughter is one of those stories that really appeal to your imagination. To say i loved reading this book is not enough.
A weird little book, based on the Magic Flute, with a liberal hand of Mithraic mysteries, Atlantean mythology and unspoken sexuality. Fun read,if a tad bewildering at times -- it makes more sense if you know the opera.
This book is the libretto of Mozart's "The Magic Flute" written as High Fantasy. I wish it were longer. Hard to find...but worth the effort.
A retelling of Mozart's The Magic Flute as a fantasy novel.
The magic Flute.
