The Guinevere Deception by Kiersten White
4.0

Check out my full video review: https://youtu.be/9M8Kf2N09xk

The Guinevere Deception is the first book in a new trilogy, following Guinevere from the Arthurian legends! We follow her perspective arriving at Camelot, which has its new king: Arthur. She is to be his wife. What is unknown to the people is the Guinevere is actually not Guinevere, but a sorcerer sent there to protect Arthur from an unknown magical threat.

I didn’t even read the synopsis for this book before reading it, so all the reveals and twists and turns were so surprising! I loved how the kingdom was built here, how different workings in the kingdom were explained and exploded. Camelot, in a literal sense, rising. Lol. The characters all had great different traits and were very well written. I loved Guinevere, Arthur, Mordred (my babe) and Lancelot. Also… potential f/f romance for book two? Yes, give me now. I generally love the Arthurian legends, and everything here was therefore so much fun. I loved what Kiersten did here. My biggest issue was probably the plot, which sometimes moved too fast and all around, I just didn’t like the construction of it that much. Buuuuuut I’m so excited for more, I literally want book two this instant! More thoughts in my video review, but I’m going this 4/5 stars and begging for moooooooore.
