The Excalibur Curse by Kiersten White

3.0

In this conclusion to Kiersten White’s reimagining of the tale of Camelot, Arthur and Guinevere, a girl with no history or claims to a throne, with just some minor magical ability, has to figure out what is right for those she loves, for the kingdom she wants to protect, and how much she deserves from a life that was stolen. It is definitely a feminist remaking, with female characters of all personalities and abilities playing important roles in making their world not just safe but a better place. The Excalibur Curse in particular is very “girl power” and turns the legend around in various ways to rewrite the story and give recognition and rights to women. It sometimes felt a bit heavy-handed with White’s eagerness to make Camelot more equal between the sexes, but overall I enjoyed the story and how it came together.
