The Guinevere Deception is a retelling of the King Arthur story focusing on Guinevere. However, this is not like the stories we have read before. As the title suggests Guinevere is not as she seems. She is a sorceress sent to defend King Arthur. 

 

The story starts of slow, but picks up pace. I did listen partially via the audiobook and the narrator was a bit difficult to listen to at first. However, after a bit I could tune her out and listen to the actual story. I preferred reading it in print, however. 

 

There were a lot of twists and turns. Most of them were fairly predictable, but enjoyable. Even though I guessed the main plot there were still a lot of side plots that were thrown in to keep you guessing. The overall experience was enjoyable. It does not completely follow the young adult formula while still being completely enjoyable for young adult fans.
