The Guinevere Deception
by Kiersten White
I decided to reread this before reading The Camelot Betrayal and I'm glad that I did. I had forgotten so many little details that I think are going to be important in the sequel. And it was also nice to know that I still really enjoyed it.
White does retellings spectacularly. And it's mostly because she doesn't just retell the same story we all know, she always adds some interesting twist. This is what keeps me interested and excited to continue reading. We all know the story of King Arthur and Excalibur - I mean, I watched the Sword and the Stone many times when I was younger. But we never really heard from Guinevere. And since it's White, it's not the Guinevere you'd exect.
This book was so rich in characters and I loved them all. From sweet Guinevere herself to honorable Arthur even charming Modred and gallant Lancelot. I adored reading about all of them. And they all felt fully formed which is something that often lacks in side characters.
This book set in motion so many plot points that I'm excited to see where White takes it.
