Just didn't care. Also felt sorta preachy to me, was getting on my nerves.

Camelot has kicked out Merlin, and moved into a magic free zone. It is forbidden to use magic inside the borders. Arthur is under some sort of danger so he must marry a protector (Guinevere) disguised as his bride. This protector is a magical person and King Arthur knows. So what is going on ?
Guinevere who isn’t Guinevere is sent to save the King. She must protect him from what ? she doesn’t know, how would she do this saving ? She doesn’t know. She doesn’t know a lot. Merlin her father but not her father sent her to marry King Arthur with instructions to protect him. Guinevere spends a lot of time wandering around making friends, watching for danger, longing for clarification on her duty in Camelot. She must focus on everything because she doesn’t have a clue what she is supposed to do there. Sure protect Arthur, but how ? She must find the danger without anyone knowing she’s magical, except she’s not very good at being sneaky. I felt sorry for her, she was expected to do this great thing with not a clue of what or how.
Arthur, he’s an odd duck. Rarely there, and when he’s around he’s not very interesting. He’s young, overburdened, and distant. He knows why she is there, and yet he rarely talks to her, leaves for days with no notice and just disappears. I really can’t say much about the character I didn’t get to know him to have much feelings except indifference. he just wasn’t there enough.
The last 25% had some awesome twists, finally Guinevere had a direction. She of the characters started to show their true colors. I never saw that twist coming.
The story was good, I enjoyed it but tired of the wandering girl bit. There was so much unsaid about these characters I never really got to know them. I’m not sure if I’ll continue the series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I really liked this book even though I haven’t read the original story of Camelot.

I enjoyed this, but I wanted more from it. It felt lack-luster in a lot of areas: character development, plot, etc. Seems very slow and then all the action is at the very end.

I think I have a new favourite now.
I wasn't a huge fan of the ending, but I loved the characters and the plot so much that it doesn't matter.

A very enjoyable read, the plot had me on the edge of my seat at times and i can't wait to start the second book.

the first 200 pages of this were a complete bore. the last 100+ were not so bad. I’m frustrated that i’m going to have to read a sequel to figure out how Camelot ends up, because the last 50 pages where (spoiler) ALL OF THE ACTION IS, is clearly setting up another if not more books.
To sum up quickly; our main character does nothing throughout the entire book except tie some knots into things, Arthur is forgettable and not around for 80% of the plot, and your big climax is ten pages from the end. enjoy.
