I will say though, that I was really satisfied with how everything played out. I think that’s because I really enjoyed the magical bits that we did get when it came to the big bad threat of this series. I felt a little disappointed that so much of the story was focused on “who is Guinevere” rather than the exciting part of the story about defeating the big bad threat that the first two books were leading up to. It took most of this book to finally get those answers. I was honestly a little bit annoyed at how she still hadn’t gotten any answers to the question of who she actually was because she’s been asking and searching for answers for three books at this point.

We’re following Guinevere as we have for the past two books. This is the third and final book in this series, so I won’t say too much about the actual details of the plot because I like to avoid spoilers in my reviews. I was not wrong with that assumption at all. So, I went into this series knowing that I’d probably like it too because White is an amazing writer. But I absolutely loved White’s And I Darken trilogy. I’m not usually one for historical fantasy or retellings like these. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. The gripping conclusion to the acclaimed Arthurian fantasy trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White finds Guinevere questioning everything-friends and enemies, good and evil, and, most of all, herself. Guinevere has been a changeling, a witch, a queen-but what does it mean to be just a girl? To undo the mistakes of the past… even if it means destroying herself.

Guinevere is determined to set things right, whatever the cost. When Guinevere makes an agonizing discovery about who she is and how she came to be, she finds herself with an impossible choice: fix a terrible crime, or help prevent war. Vowing to unravel the truth of her past with or without Merlin’s help, Guinevere joins forces with the sorceress Morgana and her son, Mordred-and faces the confusing, forbidden feelings she still harbors for him. But the greatest danger isn’t what lies ahead of Guinevere-it’s what’s been buried inside her. Behind her are Lancelot, trapped on the other side of the magical barrier they created to protect Camelot, and Arthur, who has been led away from his kingdom, chasing after false promises. While journeying north toward the Dark Queen, Guinevere falls into the hands of her enemies.
