I glad I stuck out this trilogy! It's worth it!
I highly recommend! I listened to the audio book and the narrators again did a great job!

DNF only a few chapters in. Couldn’t get over my most hated trope in book two. I also don’t really like the characters POV this is told from. I googled the ending and yuck, glad I didn’t waste my time. Which is a shame because I liked the first book a lot.

The final book in the New Camelot series and it wasn’t for me. I had a hard time getting into the story. Sierra Simone writes beautifully and I’ve enjoyed her other books.

I read this trilogy in a four day span. I had mixed feelings with the previous two books, but needed to finish the story. Well I did, and I'm glad I did. It's not easy retelling a story that has been done numerous times before. Nor is it easy to add elements into the story that had not been there. But in this conclusion I find myself surprised to find that as a trilogy this story worked well. Had I read the stories as they came out I may not have actually read American King. I still think the strongest stotryline in these books is the relationship between Ash and Embry.

Spoiler Free review here, so it's not super long! If you've read the other two books, you know the premise. An American King with a beloved and treasured Queen and his Prince. If you haven't, stop now and go read them. You'll be lost in the series, otherwise!

Getting Ash's (Maxen Colchester, Mr. President) side of things has been my one want in this series. He is my King. And forever will be.

This book, as Sierra is known to do, will leave your mouth hanging open and your tears threatening to fall or spilling over. I couldn't imagine a better ending to this series, even if it almost ripped my heart out. The interwoven literary likeness to King Arthur and Merlin is nothing short of genius on Sierra's part. Putting a modern spin, and it is definitely modern, on a timeless story is something that go really wrong. And Sierra is the only one I know that can get it SOOOOOOO RIGHT!!!

I will read words if she puts them on cheap tp. That's how much I love her work! And this finale for Ash, Greer and Embry just catapulted the series into my top of all indie authors.

I received an ARC for an honest review, however I have this whole series on ebook and once Sierra is at a signing, I'll trample her to get my hands on these beauties live!
