3.5 stars. Good but...

... I have questions. It was exciting and the main story arc moved along but I was left with questions and not understanding all that happened. There are a lot of characters and moving parts.

This is hard to write without giving away spoilers!
The Darkest Knight is book three in the Guardians of Camelot series that has an overall series story arc but focuses on a different couple per book. I definitely recommend reading these books in order. This one follows Kay, one of the knights, and Charles, who we met in book two.
My heart broke for Kay in the first part of the story as he just seemed to get hit by one thing after another and came across as very lonely. He knows that Charles is his Tresor, his fated soulmate but Charles doesn't return the sentiment, instead believing that Kay is his light, the next person who he is supposed to keep safe and protect. The group of men really are a family as they all pull together to look out for each other whilst also standing strong to protect each other, even occasionally from themselves.
There is so much going on throughout the book so you have to be sure to pay attention; to the past, present and how everything links together. Across the story we have highs and lows, twists and turns, battles and studies, always something to grab your attention and keep you tethered to the story, invested in the outcome of the relationship between the MC's and the plot of the series.
We're left with a huge event that brings all of the characters together, fighting against their enemies and keeping each other safe. The final chapter is an enticing tease of what is to come in book four.
Cannot recommend this book and series enough. Victoria Sue has created a fantastic world for readers to dive into and it's easy to imagine yourself right there beside the characters, a brilliant twist on the Camelot series.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review. ,

This Arthurian mythology with a twist is very clever

As an Arthurian mythology nerd, this series from Victoria Sue has been an absolute delight as she's taken the common legends and given them new twists.

In this latest entry of her Guardians of Camelot series she gives us Kay's story. No longer the foster brother of Arthur, instead he's an unwanted son discarded by a cruel man.

His Tresor (fated mate and the other half of his soul) is Charles, the Knights Hospitaller we met in book two.

But all is not well as Charles has a calling he's not willing to give up and Kay's heart is broken just as the threat from Morgan intensifies.

I have much love for Charles as he is a character that I have a vested interest in (see the dedication in book two

EXCELLENT continuation of the story. I ached for Kay and Charles.

The mythology is twisting and turning in masterful ways.

Can't wait until the fourth book is up on Audible.
