A review by brits_bomb_books
The Camelot Betrayal by Kiersten White
5.0
"I am never in the dark when I am protecting you."
Synopsis
All is well once more in Camelot, but Guinevere isn't at peace. Realizing the anxiety she's feeling has a lot to do with her own inner turmoil, she starts looking for ways to solidify her role as Queen and become comfortable in her own skin.
What I Liked
- This is one of those rare second installments in a trilogy that is better than the first book, but also makes you appreciate the first book more. Guinevere's character takes on a lot more depth, and her relationships with the people around her continue to grow in exciting and sometimes unexpected ways.
- Female friendships are at the forefront in this book, and I'm allllll about a well-formed girl group.
- One of the struggles I found most compelling with Guinevere in this book was her having to make decisions for the good of her kingdom above everything. Several times she was forced into situations with less than ideal choices, and then she had to deal with the consequences of her decisions.
- I never thought I would be so invested in the three potential "ships" we've got going on, but here we are.
Age Rating
Pretty solid Young Adult, maybe 14+
Who I Would Recommend This Book To
Fans of Arthurian legend, but with better female representation!
Content to Watch Out For
Violence, death, reference to domestic abuse, kidnapping
