Review Detail

What I loved:
Guinevere has struggled to own who she is and who she was created to be throughout this trilogy. As we go further into the series, we learn from the first one that this Guinevere is not the honest Guinevere, but in reality, she has been created by the lady of the lake and merlin, but for what purpose? Can she continue to be this Guinevere? Guinevere wants to be a girl. Not a creation of her parents made to take someone else identity. Her decision is poorly thought out anyone else cringe when she tries to use the magical sword to set Guinevere free?
The gender-bending idea of Lancelot being a female character made for an exciting take on this character. I feel she should have played a more significant role in the story than the side character she was regulated to being. There is a romance that is barely mentioned. Instead, she struggles between Mordred and Arthur though you are for sure she loves Lancelot.
Final Verdict: This was a rough 3rd book as the setup seemed to fall short of where the first two books were heading. Guinevere struggles with righting a wrong or stopping a war which is true to the first two books. This one fell flat as Guinevere lets her identity crisis consume her to the point where she makes decisions out of the left field. I felt the pacing was off and that the ending left me feeling like it was quickly put together rather than thought out to match with the rest of the story.
Audiobook Review: The narrator is the same one we listened to for the first two books. The narrator keeps the pace moving and is not a distraction from the story. I like how she can quickly put some infliction into each character to distinguish between characters. I do recommend that the series is listened to in order.
