3.5 out of 5 stars.

King Arthur's legend retold from the perspective of the oft forgotten Guinevere.

An interesting deception based story line concept that sadly didn't pull me in as much as I had hoped. It was an easy to read book, but I wasnt drawn in to the characters. Unfortunately they were all slightly bland and I kept clutching at the few delicious little nuggets that were thrown down, but they didn't last long enough to satisfy. The last quarter was the most interesting and gained my rating of 3.5 rather than the 3 it was sliding towards.


I had such high hopes for this due to being a fan of not only the legend of King Arthur, but also of the previous work I've read from Kiersten. It just didn't seem to have enough substance to it and the character of Guinevere had the potential to be such a complex interesting character but fell a little short.

I appreciated the concept and wish that the energy and depth to the story that came in the last 60 pages of the book had been present throughout.
