Review Detail

With the Dark Queen awakened, Guinevere will do anything to protect Camelot, including placing a magical barrier around it without her in it. This causes her to be captured by her enemies and Mordred. After everything that's happened, all Guinevere wants is to learn who she really is. She's tired of living someone else's shoes and is ready to write her own story while protecting Camelot at the same time. Even if that means relying on Mordred's mom, Morgana.

While I absolutely loved the first two, this one fell a little flat. I'll be honest in the fact that I thought she was going to fall in love with Mordred. The romance with Lancelet was never built on or addressed properly until the very end which was like a whiplash for me. We don't really see too much of Lancelot in this one because she's trapped behind a magical barrier Guinevere put into place.

So, while the romance confused me, the overall plot was still interesting enough for me to want to keep reading. I love how everything turned out with Guinevere and Arthur and how strong of a character Guinevere is. The magical twist always brings life to the story and dream-walking gives it that added fairytale feel. The diverse representation of characters brings a breath of fresh air to this twist on the classic story of King Arthur. One of my favorite parts is that Lancelot is a girl. However, I adore Mordred's character too and how he will always try to do what's best for Guinevere in the end.


Final Verdict: I would recommend this to fans of Arthurian legend who are looking for something unique with diverse characters. It's also perfect for people who love stories full of magic and adventure.
