I will read near anything relating to Arthurian legend and I will inevitably end up liking it.
3.5 stars
When the main protagonist has memory loss so does the reader. I enjoyed this enough to get the next book because I really want to know what happens to Guinevere-not-Guinevere, Arthur, Mordred and Lancelot.

I'm learning that Kiersten White books are either a hit or miss for me; and this was more of a miss. It just fell flat imo and I was never really invested.
The last 50 pages were what I was waiting for from this whole book! Very slow book but the plot twist at the end was worth it. Can’t wait to see where it goes in book two.
4.5. I would’ve given this a five but it was lacking that je ne sais quoi.
2 stars. This was a far cry from White's last trilogy - The Conqueror's Saga - which featured the epic genderbent Vlad the Impaler. [b:And I Darken|27190613|And I Darken (The Conqueror's Saga, #1)|Kiersten White|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1449153532l/27190613._SY75_.jpg|41682914] kept me on the edge of my seat with every page! The Guinevere Deception was far less exciting on multiple counts: the setting, the characters, and a plot that was largely nonexistent until the final 50 pages.
It's massively disappointing, but I don't think I'll be keeping up with this series.

Super interesting concept but tbh I kept getting f distracted. Was it jumping or was the audionarrator?
I, Uh. Hm uh. Um. Uh. Um.
The epic highs and lows of Arthurian legend retellings. If you have time to kill and read anything that tries to spice up an Arthurian tale it’s definitely….not worthwhile, but entertaining *enough*. I did enjoy some of the character choices and narrative beats.
When I say Guinevere has two hands, this isn’t what I meant. While I assume that’s addressed in the sequels, I just don’t care enough to find out.
Just. Hm.
