Who are you?

This is something most people struggle with internally, discovering who they are. For Guinevere this question goes much deeper than defining morals and character. Figuring out who she is may be the only thing that will save Camelot.

The conclusion to the Camelot Series was full of adventure and romance. The series still hung on to those three love interests for Guinevere and we take several ups and downs before the final pages. I was definitely disappointed in the love conclusion or it would have been a 5 star read for me.

The plot took me exactly where I expect a series to take me; through confusion, pain, heartache, hope, love, excitement, suspense and anxiety. I embraced each like a mother cradling a child, for each had purpose and weight and sitting with the emotions allowed me to sit with myself. This third installment urges a self reflection that I couldn't help but take on.

I quite enjoyed being in Camelot and along for the journey of some wonderful characters.

Thank you to Delacorte Press, Kiersten White and NetGalley for the advanced review copy.

Not that good.. felt like Guenivere changed her mind all the time. Yeah, no. Glad it was the final book, but sad that I didn't enjoy it more

Reading this book was so much fun! It was an amazing ending to a series, I'll admit I really enjoyed it. It was a little bit weaker than the previous two books but still worth it. I loved Guinevere in this book and the plot twist with Lancelot was unexpected but what could I expect when it was literally Lancelot and Guinevere. I wish the author would at least foreshadow their relationship earlier in the series. Otherwise, at times it might have been a little boring and it took me a whole week to read it because I was busy with school. At least I got sick and could read the last fifty pages in one sitting while lying in my bed.

Willing to up the review to four stars if there will be another book in which Lancelot and Guinevere find their happy ending

I love these characters so so much and I am sad to see the story end. They have made me cry and worry. All in all this series is so good and so liberating. I love you White.
