That was not a finite or controlled magic. It was a wild and dark and dangerous magic. It was a violent magic, undoing the record of a life and giving it to someone else.
A couple of earlier books aside, Kiersten White is a fave of mine. I enjoyed her historical fiction that reimagined Vlad the Impaler as a woman - And I Darken; I enjoyed her Frankenstein retelling - The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein; and, against all odds, I enjoyed her Buffy spin-off - Slayer. So I'm surprised that this one didn't work for me. I love Arthurian mythology and White's feminist spins on old tales, so what could go wrong?
Firstly, I think this book kept us in the dark for way too long. So long that it became not interesting for me. All we know is that Guinevere is not the real Guinevere but a changeling witch, sent by Merlin to protect King Arthur. We spend so long not really knowing where the story is going, though. Guinevere's goal of protecting Arthur feels open-ended and not tied to any real conflict. This means that she spends a lot of time wandering around, chatting with familiar characters like Mordred and Brangien, and not doing much of anything.
Even when a touch of drama appears, she is hurried off to safety. If the growing romance was supposed to be the main point of tension, I didn't really get a sense of that. Arthur was so bland and forgettable (though arguably all the characters were).
I also did not feel like this story was taking place in the 5th-6th centuries. There was very little to capture the feeling of the time and place, which is the exact opposite of what I would say about the author's And I Darken trilogy. I guess I also just don't believe that feminism is rewriting history to pretend sexism didn't exist, which it felt like this did. The way women are treated felt untrue to the times.
And it is so jarring when Guinevere, who is supposed to be a 5th century "lady", says “I doubt a bowl of piss will be one of the weapon offerings at the tournament”. Not to mention the fact that this word dates to the 14th century (yes I checked cos it sounded weird), a good 800-900 years too late for the Arthurian legend.
There are a couple of twists that of course I won't give away, but I will say that the first one was so obvious. I guessed it as soon as the (view spoiler)
[knight appeared on page with their face covered. I knew it was a woman. (hide spoiler)] The ending is easily the most dynamic and dramatic part of the book. Lots happens in a short space of time, setting this up for a sequel, but I think it was already too late for me by then. I am always surprised when readers encourage me to read through 400 pages of slog to get to 50 good pages, as if that makes it all worth it. To me, if a book is only 10% good, then it isn't. And I find that especially true of YA fantasy. Perhaps more patient readers will have better luck with this.
Still a big Kiersten White fan, but I think I'll skip the sequels to this and wait for Chosen instead.

I received this complimentary ARC from the publisher, courtesy of NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.
I was
so excited for the release of this book and for the most part...it
didn't disappoint. I'm pretty familiar with Arthurian mythology, so I think that if you are, as well, you might be able to predict some of the plot points! But there are also enough
original twists in the story to also keep you guessing as you read. However, if you're fairly new to the Arthurian myths, everything is explained, so you don't feel like you're missing out on anything important.
Can I just take a moment to appreciate a
Guinevere-centred story for once? Finally, Arthur and Merlin aren't the
sole stars of the show! Girl power for the winnnn! ;)
I will admit that the pacing of this book, for the first two-thirds of the novel, is
slowwww, and then it's really fast-paced for the last third, which is understandable. It definitely reads like a
historical fiction novel as White sets up the backdrop of Camelot, which - due to being part of British folklore - greatly resembles mediaeval Britain. But despite the pacing, I
wasn't bored throughout the book. It has knight tournaments, knot magic, enchanted trees, dangerous dragons, wicked faeries, and all sorts of other interesting elements. I especially enjoyed the original magic system using
knots. I've never encountered that before. Usually depictions of Merlin's magic in other interpretations of Arthurian mythology tend to utilise elemental magic. I liked seeing Guinevere use something else to protect herself, as well as confronting the threats directed at Arthur and Camelot.
White takes great lengths to demonstrate how young and unsure of herself
Guinevere is, with a need to prove herself, and I found her to be an admirable protagonist.
Arthur wasn't as developed, in my opinion. He's merely depicted as a caring king who always puts Camelot before his personal feelings and the people he values.
Mordred was probably the most compelling character and, as usual, I ended up sympathising with him. (But then, he had to be
HIMSELF ugh) I also loved
Lancelot and shan't say anything else about the knight because it was a fun surprise. I wish we got to see more of
Merlin and the other knights though.
Gawain was always my favourite, as well as
Percival, but they were only mentioned in passing a few times, unfortunately. I hope that we'll see more of them and Merlin in the future.
This was a really
good beginning to a fun trilogy and I
can't wait to see what happens next. It's a tad slower than Illusions of Fate and Slayer, but it's still very enjoyable nonetheless. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to experience the wonder and magic of Camelot.

**3.5-stars rounded up**There is a magic within her, a power with limits unknown.
Guinevere arrives in Camelot with heavy trepidation in her heart. She has been sent to marry King Arthur, a man she has never met.
All she knows of him are what the legends say, that he is a great man. He's the one who pulled the legendary sword from the stone.
While this is true, Arthur is a great King, who strives to make the kingdom a better place, there are those outside the kingdom who want him gone.
Unbeknownst to anyone else, Guinevere hasn't actually been sent from a royal family in the South to marry Arthur as the rumors claim, she's actually been sent there to protect him.
You see, there is more to our sweet Guinevere than meets the eye.
She isn't some fragile Princess desiring a life of luxury. Truly, she holds secrets so dark, they are unclear even to herself.
It has been a long time since I have consumed any content focusing on the Arthurian legend. I had fun reading this and thought it was really well done.
I felt connected to Guinevere's character and enjoyed following her on her journey. I think if you have any interest in the story of Arthur and Guinevere, you should definitely give this book a shot.
I think it was a nice twist to hear the story from Guinevere's perspective. It was much darker and more convoluted than I anticipated.
In fact, it was intense at times trying to piece it all together.
She is confused about a lot of things, her past, which she doesn't remember, her purpose and her heart.
I think throughout the course of the story Guinevere shows solid growth. Although not all of her choices were the wisest, I think she was doing the best she could with what information she had.
The supporting cast of characters were also fantastic. I love Arthur and am hoping for a deeper connection between him and Guinevere in the second book.
This left off in an incredible spot and I know the next book is going to take the story up to a whole other level!
Thank you so much to the publisher, Delacorte Press and Random House Children's, for providing me with a copy of this to read and review.
This was a highly anticipated book for me and it did not disappoint. I look forward to continuing with this series.

No! No! No! And for the last time screaming till my throat rips apart: “NOOOOO!!!THIS IS NOT THE RETELLING I’VE DREAMT OF”
I’m die-hard fan of Kiersten White’s retellings. I truly enjoyed “Conqueror saga” (especially third book: Bright We Burn was magnificent. Any fantasy lover should devour this book at one bite!) So as soon as I heard she wrote a retelling about Guinevere and King Arthur, I started doing handsprings but accidentally hit my feet to coffee table but that’s okay, I’m limping like Kaiser Soze which gave me more threatening and charismatic look. (That’s what my neighbors’ kids thoughts who keep screaming when they see me walking in the street!)
After Guy Ritchie’s worst adaption on big screen, I needed to read something fascinating and I truly believed this gifted author could give me the riveting page-turner I wholeheartedly desired.
I didn’t request an Arc copy because if I got rejection, I couldn’t take it easily. (last time I got rejected for a book I wanted to read sooo sooo much, I burned my kitchen! Not my fault! I tried to cook grilled cheese sandwich. As a result we had a grilled kitchen counter!)
So finally I took the book into my hands and excitedly flipped the pages…But…Something was wrong. Correction! Too many things went wrong!
Silver lining part: If you are patient enough to read more than 300 pages, last part of the book is entertaining, fast pacing, exciting, promising.
But… Nearly 350 pages were slow, meaningless, boring and dull. The facts: Guinevere is not the real Guinevere, she is a witch, assigned from Merlin to protect Arthur. But you gotta walk in the dark corners of the book too long to understand the motives, real purposes of the characters. Guinevere seems like hanging in the palace and talking with the people about last week’s soccer fixture or new trendy places of Soho! ( If the character does all those things, I don’t get surprised because I’m not sure the book takes place at the 5th century!)
All those characters looked like being frozen by a powerful spell. Because nobody takes any action or does something crucial to warn us a big danger threatens the kingdom.
I feel like most of the time I think maybe this book can be named as “Much Ado About Nothing!” (alas! Shakespeare already chose the name before the author and his memorable play was full of action and amazing characters, I wish this book can have them, too.)
So after too much bla bla blaa, zzztttttttt (I took several delicious nap breaks!), glugglugg (don’t forget alcohol breaks!) and easily sensible, foreseeable twist ( I didn’t need my spider senses to find it. The neighborhood kids found the twist before it was coming, too because I read aloud this book in front of their houses to punish them!!!), we may reach the ending. Finally we get our fast pacing, exhilarating writing he waited for the beginning of the book because the author needs to leave a great impression for the sequel.
So? I’m gonna read the sequel. I have doubts but I still love this author’s way of story-telling and last pages of the book showed me there is still hope for this series. I was about to give two stars but I raised to three only for the last parts of the story.
I didn’t like it , I was so close to hate it but I loved last 40 pages. But I have to admit I expected more from the author. I hope the sequel will be more promising, twisty, fast pacing and contain more remarkable characterization.

i am the kind of person where, once i find something i really enjoy, i practically obsess over it. and i think my newest obsession is arthurian mythology because, oh my gosh, this story is everything i never knew was missing from my life.
im pretty sure i saw disneys
‘the sword in the stone’ when i was a kid but, beyond that, i know absolutely nothing about merlin, king arthur, camelot, or the knights of the round table. but this story is making me want to drop everything and read anything about them that i can get my hands on.
even though i dont know much about the mythology this story is based on, i can tell that KW truly made this story her own. these characters and their personalities feel original to her/this story and i could really empathise with them and their development throughout. i am very excited to continue this series and i cant wait to see where it goes!
in the meantime, please send all of your king arthur recommendations my way! :P
↠ 4.5 stars

While I do like gender bent stories and seeing Guinevere’s perspective as the main protagonist, I found the story to be too slow for my tastes with not enough drama to excite me throughout.

I have next to nothing to say about this book.
Well, except the fact that my reading it single-handedly doubled the global use of the Audible “back 30 seconds” button. I was so bored while listening to it that even though I was doing other things - playing Sims, cleaning, revising my world domination plans - my mind STILL wandered.
It’s that boring.
There’s no plot to be spoken of, unless you count “girl who we are supposed to think is strong and powerful and cool wandering around doing f*ck-all and being a total idiot, and also said girl has magic but she may as well be cursed into being an oak tree for all the fun we get to have seeing her use it” as a plot.
I don’t, personally.
Here’s the best comparison I can make: the majority of this book feels like when you’re playing a video game and you can’t figure out what your next step is supposed to be, so you just walk around the same places and talk to the same people over and over.
In this retelling, Guinevere is actually a magic-person sent by Merlin for the unbelievably abstract purpose of “protecting Arthur,” and until the very end we have no idea from what. Also, neither does Guinevere.
To be blunt, it is the dumbest thing in the world.
We’re supposed to buy good ol’ Guin as a badass, but considering she spends 99% of the story being scared of water and inexplicably building two sides of a love triangle, it makes no sense.
And all the characters are so charmless and FLAT.
Even thinking about this book is making me mad, so I’m going to wrap things up here.
Bottom line: A hard no from me.
-------
let it be known that i am interested in EVERY fairytale-y retelling that includes magic and darkness and women being the ones who actually got sh*t done.

2 StarsSigh.
I love the Arthurian Legend and snagged this immediately when I saw it as a Book if the Month YA choice. I was really excited at the thought of Guinevere having magical powers and being sent to protect Arthur for once instead of simply being the damsel in a distressful love triangle.
And while I do appreciate the effort made here to make female characters strong and with agency...I felt the Feminist underpinnings and what seems to be the constant need for “representation” in every book these days (while appreciated) overwhelmed everything else. And the story suffered for it.
The characters are all quite bland, especially Arthur. And, we are kept in the dark regarding many details for far too long. I became bored waiting for something to happen. We spend the vast majority of the book watching Guinevere flail aimlessly about, seemingly without any true purpose. When something finally does happen, I found myself not really caring.
I was also kind of disappointed in the magical elements of the story. I guess I just expected...more.

Where’d my socks go, Kiersten? You knocked them the hell off!Have you ever seen
Merlin the British tv series with
Colin Morgan? It’s from 2008 to 2012, an older show but I found it in 2015 on Netflix and all five seasons became my life!
I’ve always been intrigued by Arthurian legend, ever since childhood with
Excalibur. But that level of intrigue went to new depths when I discovered Merlin.
Before this, I had only read one other of Kiersten White’s amazing works: The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein which I was instantly obsessed with. So when I caught wind that she had a freaking MERLIN retelling up her sleeve I was beyond stoked!
AND EVEN BETTER, I WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN THE FREAK AWAY Kiersten White, I could kiss you! But if we ever meet, I’ll ask first, and most likely I just opt for an awkward side-hug, but you get me! New favorite author here!! This lady right here!
I could not put this down! It was pouring rain for days in California which is soooooo rare that it was truly GLORIOUS, and I had a nasty cold, which meant bundles of blankets, heaps of steaming mugs of lemon tea and me in my bed with
The Guinevere Deception for an entire day and despite being so ill, I was in heaven with this book!
Kiersten White writes incredible characters. I’ve only read two of her works so far but I’ve come to the same conclusion with both. Her characters are what I want in YA. Her storytelling is what I want in Ya. Layered and deep and unique and not everyone’s cup of tea.
BUT IT’S MY CUP OF TEA.
I must admit, that while this retelling was fantastic, she did my boi Merlin some wrong. Hahahaha.
But, it’s not a deal breaker. I just can’t not see Merlin as the precious cinnamon-roll boi,
Colin Morgan as Merlin in the tv series!
Honestly I couldn’t help but picture Colin Morgan and Bradley James and Angel Coulby as Merlin, Arthur and
Gwen.
Ugh and I literally squealed when Lancelot graced the pages! Come and stan with me when you read it. I’m shook, yaaaas Kiersten, yaaaasss.
Which reminds me, okay so Merlin was done wrong (only to those who stan the tv series 😆), but holy freaking Excalibur, my new boi,
MORDRED got a freaking spotlight.
I’m in love with Mordred.
With Kiersten White’s Mordred. I knew it upon his initial introduction in the book I was like
ooooooo, Imma be all over you, I know it. *gasp* Omg is he my Cardan rebound?! I’m such a book slut. I need help.
I don’t go over plot. I’m more of hype-style reviewer because I like to go in blind when I read and choose a book over other people’s incoherent reviews full of
squeeee’s and
*gasps but I must warn that this is a
slow moving plot. But it was done just so well, the world building and the character building, while it was slower,
it was still unputdownable!What kind of sorcery is that? The power of a damn good writer that’s what!Another fair mention is that there
may be a bit of a love-triangle thing going on here. But it’s NOT like your typical YA trope love-triangle. It’s not like sappy-pining, the main character doesn’t swoon over handsomeness, features aren’t even brought up, and it’s not insta-love. And it’s NOT a romance-driven plot.
I’d say it’s more like....there’s two potential “love” interests, and the main character—naturally—chooses to explore those options, getting to know the persons and, maybe or maybe not, making a decision to start a relationship or not. Sounds about real life to me.
I had a library copy. But I am high-key going to run out or click my way to procuring my very own copy because I want to personally support Kiersten White by doing so. I think that says a lot.
Update! I got a signed exclusive Owlcrate edition!! Woohoo! August 2019:
Omg omg omg!!!! One of my all time favorites is Arthurian Legend ever since childhood! And I’ve been soooo empty since the ending of my precious Merlin tv series 😭😱. And Kiersten White?!! *faints*

(3.5/5)
I... really liked this?
Okay, don't look at your screen like that. I had practically set myself up for failure, all things considered. I mean, as much as I love
Merthur Arthurian Legend, if there's something I can't stand, it's love triangles. And, well, just about everyone's heard of the whole Guinevere-Arthur-Lancelot thing. You know how it goes, Arthur's wife AKA Guinevere falls for Lancelot, drama ensues, people die, the works.
Not to mention, I probably hyped this book up for myself too much. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did.
As it turns out, this retelling has it that Guinevere isn't Guinevere, but rather, Merlin's daughter, sent to help protect Arthur. And yes, there was a love triangle, but it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would, probably because it wasn't the main focus of the book.
As for why I enjoyed it, the writing is pretty decent. I actually felt transported into the world rather than bombarded with
eye descriptions info-dumps. I think there might've been a ridiculous metaphor thrown in here and there, but apart from that, it was fairly good.
The magic system, on the other hand, was wonderous. I actually enjoyed reading about all the little knot magics and Guinevere's ability, I guess it just added a little bit to the world and general development of the story for me.
Then, there are the characters. I loved the idea of having a female Lancelot, and enjoyed the growing 'something' between Guinevere and Arthur. However, I absolutely adored the spin of Tristan and Isolde's story that was included in the book.
That being said, however, the plot itself is almost nonexistent. Like, seriously. It's all fluff
and feels like one of my mother's soaps until the last 15% of the book, when things actually start to happen. There's a plot twist or two thrown in, but it's all incredibly predictable.
After that ending though?
Overall, this book was good. Okay, I guess. I enjoyed it, and it definitely could have been better, but I've got high expectations for the second one now.

As someone who is not super familiar with the Arthur legend besides what is known in pop culture, I’m not sure how this would be received by fans of the legend. This retelling is a mix of nature magic, elemental beings, and some gender-swapping and other twists on the original characters. This did read a little younger than I was expecting as Guinevere is 16 and acts like it with her naivety. She seems to not follow threads that will probably be obvious to most readers. There is a love triangle (this is the Arthur legend after all) but I didn’t feel particularly drawn to the romance in this either. There are some questions not answered in this book but I don’t know if I’ll be intrigued enough to continue when the next installment in the series comes around.
Rating: really liked it
Whoo boy, do I have some things to say about this one.A lot of my friends on Goodreads lamented over the first 80% of this book and thought it picked up at the end. I had the opposite reaction. Because of course I did. I actually loved the beginning of this. I was drawn into the mystery and the intrigue. I have a long attention span, and so I was HERE for the minor details of the time period and setting.
And then the book ended…
Gather round, friends, and settle in for another Feminist Rant That Nobody Asked For.
First, let me address my lack of a rating. In case you haven’t noticed, I stopped reviewing books I don’t like. For a number of reasons that I really don’t want to get into right now. As a whole, I did not like this book, which is one of the reasons I’m not rating it.
The other is that I still have faith in this series. I adore Kiersten White. Her feminist retellings are fire. That was true for most of this book too.
But, Lord, that ending.
My hope is that there was a point to it. That it’s a setup for the rest of the series and that the main character, Guinevere, is going to pull a 180 sometime during the second installment.
WARNING: UNMARKED SPOILERS AHEADLet’s dive right into the meat of my issue, shall we? This ending is not feminist. At all. In fact, it embodies a devastatingly subversive antifeminist theme in literature that was first popularized in
The Taming of the Shrew.
This book is based on Arthurian legend. Our heroine is Guinevere, but not really, because the real Guinevere died and our nameless female lead is just impersonating her.
Arthur banned magic in Camelot, ousting Merlin, his former adviser. But there’s a darkness on the horizon that threatens the realm, so Merlin sends Guinevere to protect Arthur. They marry.
Arthur is kind and benevolent and everything a king should be. Guinevere immediately worships the ground he walks on. Even though he’s never there for her because he’s so busy running a kingdom. Even though she feels like she can never tell him everything about herself. Regardless of the fact that – SURPRISE – he’s in on her deception.
That’s right. He knows Merlin sent her and is okay with her doing magic even though he regularly banishes or executes others caught practicing magical arts because….well that’s never really fleshed out. Which makes him seem like a massive hypocrite from the get go.
And then there’s Mordred, Arthur’s most trusted knight and nephew (who is actually a year older than Arthur because their family tree is all sorts of fucked up). He tasks Mordred with guarding Guinevere when he isn’t around. Which is almost always.
Mordred and Guinevere grow close. He discovers her magical secret and instead of outing her, he protects her. She can talk to him in a way that she can’t with Arthur. She feels like her real self with him.
A self that she’s confused about. There are massive holes in her memory. Merlin deceived her and she thinks he even went so far as to erase her past from her mind. It turns out he didn’t really send her to protect Arthur, but sent her to be protected from the rising darkness.
And Arthur knew about it. In fact, Arthur knows more about her than she does. Does she poke at that? Ask him why? What he knows? If he can fill in her memory gaps? Nope. She just blindly trusts that he’s not keeping some terrible shit from her, even though there are MANY hints that he’s keeping some terrible shit from her.
The whole premise of this story is nature vs order. Magic is depicted as wild and chaotic. It’s not good or evil, it simply IS. Like a wolf that kills a baby deer. Is that sad and horrible? Yup, but guess what, the wolf’s gotta eat, man. If it doesn’t kill the deer, it dies. We don’t get to choose which one of them lives.
And then there’s order. Man imposing his will on nature. Enacting edicts and laws to curb chaos. Shaping the very landscape around him to better suit his own needs.
Arthur is order. He defeated the Dark Queen, banished magic, and with the help of Merlin, put the land to sleep. When she’s with him, Guinevere is made
lesser. She has to hide her magic. She comes at least second, always, but sometimes even third or fourth or fifth. She’s more of an afterthought for him. And like Petruchio from
The Taming of the Shrew, Arthur endows her with characteristics he prefers, namely voicelessness and usefulness. He only ever goes to her when he needs her to do something for him. Not him, Arthur, the man, but the king.
At one point, he even portrays her as a helpless victim who had to be saved by a brave knight after SHE heroically saved not one, but two people. He did this because she couldn’t tell him the truth of what really happened.
But she told Mordred.
If Arthur is order, then Mordred is chaos. He’s an outrageous, sometimes hilarious flirt. He doesn’t want to impose his will on Guinevere. He likes her just as she is: wild and free and powerful. There’s a spark between them that doesn’t exist between her and her husband.
And in the end, she chooses Arthur over him.
You see, she accidentally awakens the Dark Queen. Mordred is there, and he revels in the queen’s rise. Because it turns out that he is magical too. And he’s been forced to watch others of his kind flee or be killed by men.
If you’re thinking he was secretly evil the whole time and now I’m trying to get you to have sympathy for the “bad guy”, I assure you, he wasn’t, and I’m not. He’s VERY clear that he isn’t on the side of the Dark Queen. He’s not her minion, he just wants to see a balance brought back to nature before the order of man kills what little magic is left in the world.
And really, who could blame him for that? Just look at the havoc that man’s “order” has wreaked on our planet. I’m at the point where I was actually rooting for the rise of the Dark Queen.
Burn everything to the ground. I am with you, Your Majesty.
Mordred, while not as far gone as me, sees to it that the Dark Queen rises. Afterward, he urges Guinevere to run away with him. To stop making herself less than for the sake of a king who has no time for her. Who lies to her. Who doesn’t even love her like Mordred does.
But Guinevere, working against her own self interest, chooses Arthur instead. And I literally wanted to cry.
The antifeminist theme I referred to in the beginning of this review is one in which women in literature, are “tamed” by the men they’re with. Civilized. Molded into a shape more pleasing for the man. They start the books with their own agency, much like Guinevere, and by the end act as nothing so much as a mirror for their husbands.
I’m praying that I’m wrong about this series. That Guinevere chooses Arthur because of her own naivete and the fact that she’s imprinted on him because of Merlin’s manipulations. After all, the wizard shoved his own trust and love for Arthur INTO her brain.
My hope is that she snaps out of it. That Arthur tells her all the terrible shit he and Merlin have kept from her and she realizes she made THE WRONG CHOICE and runs screaming after Mordred.
Because if not, I am going to be beyond disappointed in this. And I will put a star rating to that disappointment.
