Review: The Camelot Betrayal

The Camelot Betrayal by Kiersten White
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Guinevere may be the queen of Camelot, but it doesn’t feel real for her. She is still trying to balance being the wife of Arthur, the queen protected by the Knight Lancelot and a friend to those she holds dear. Part of her problem is she doesn’t remember who she was before she became Guinevere. As she is trying to push herself to accept her role as queen, she always has the voice of Mordred in the back of her mind telling her she isn’t worthy. As if that is not enough, when the real Guinevere’s younger sister turns up at Camelot, Guinevere begins to wonder if the charade is about to fall to pieces.

The Camelot Betrayal is the second book in the Camelot Rising series. This series continues to break the mold of Arthurian tales with a female Lancelot and a changeling Guinevere. Readers will still enjoy having the foundation characters in their places, even if their roles are slightly skewed. White was able to introduce a few more twists in the storyline while also answering a few questions that were left unresolved in the first book. I can’t say it is one of my favorite Camelot retellings, but it was still a fun read.
