The guinevere deception book 35/12/2023 ![]() ![]() And always, in the green hearts of forests and the black depths of lakes, magic lies in wait to reclaim the land. ![]() ![]() To keep Arthur safe, Guinevere must navigate a court in which the old–including Arthur’s own family–demand things continue as they have been, and the new–those drawn by the dream of Camelot–fight for a better way to live. She is a changeling, a girl who has given up everything to protect Camelot. ![]() The catch? Guinevere’s real name–and her true identity–is a secret. and his protector from those who want to see the young king’s idyllic city fail. With magic clawing at the kingdom’s borders, the great wizard Merlin conjured a solution–send in Guinevere to be Arthur’s wife. Princess Guinevere has come to Camelot to wed a stranger: the charismatic King Arthur. Opening line: There was nothing in the world as magical and terrifying as a girl on the cusp of womanhood. Sadly, pretty much everything about this book ended up being lame and left me feeling very “meh”. The setup – Guinevere is dead and our protagonist is an impostor taking over her place – sounded exciting enough. So I thought why not see what White does with Arthurian legends. I had read one of Kiersten White’s books last year for the Retellings Challenge and, while I thought it missed the point of being about Egyptian myths, it was a nice enough teen romance. ![]()
