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.

This is the book in which we finally find out who exactly Guinevere is and who she will choose. She questions everything and everyone in her circle. Unfortunately, this story just dragged on for me. And the ending, I am not really sure about it. Guinevere decides who she wants to be but everyone’s future is left dangling.

My hunger for anything Arthurian sometimes leads me to very meh places.
This was so tiresome to read. I read the first 2 books 3 years ago and I remember feeling disappointed and that the characters and the whole story was very forgettable. This book did not change that. I finished it out of spite more than anything lol.
None of the characters felt real. Way too many things felt too easy and convenient. Guinevere was SO annoying. Sometimes a character is so “good” that it makes them DULL. We have to read their self-deprecation and guilt every other page and it just ends up feeling much more narcissistic than wholesome and kind. The love triangle made it worse. I wasn’t rooting for any “ships” because I just couldn’t care. Lancelot’s blind devotion to Guinevere felt forced and way too intense. Arthur had no personality at all beyond the whole, "I will do whatever is best for Camelot and also I am compassionate and strong and The Chosen One" trope. The whining and waffling from Guinevere was boring. All the ruminating was exhausting. I just wanted it to end so badly. I could see the ending from the beginning and the stakes and danger were way too high for the end to be so happy and tidy.
Sometimes I think maybe I should stop reading about teenagers now that it’s been nearly 10 years since I was one. I mean, I was also whiny and inconstant and self-centered as a teenager. But then I remember that there are so many fictional teenagers that I absolutely love and connect with. This trilogy was just not great and the protagonist was the worst part.
I appreciate the attempt at a feminist spin, but it fell extremely flat for me.
