6/20/2023 0 Comments The guinevere deception reviewShe is constantly shocked by childhood things like losing baby teeth, and things she would have already gotten like her period. Thanks to Netgalley and Delacorte for the advance copy which I received in exchange for an unbiased review. The Guinevere Deception provides examples of: Amnesiac Hero: Merlin wiped most of Guineveres memories before she left to Camelot. I.liked it? I'll recommend it to younger readers new to the legend. If the next entry gets great reviews, I'll give it a go as my familiarity with the characters and story would render a re-read unnecessary. That said, I do love Arthurian legend, and this version of Guinevere is not without promise. And the end, when it finally came, was predictable enough to be a bit disappointing. It had the promise of the adventure that lies in those tales. It had glimpses of the humor from Mallory, T. Unfortunately, those hints, for the most part, stay hints, and the book ended up being a pretty predictable retelling of sorts that was paradoxically too faithful and not faithful enough to its predecessors. I found the beginning of the book, with its delicious hints of a larger story of evil and darkness, to be captivating. An imposter, Merlin's daughter and Arthur's new protector, is her replacement, and all have been fooled into thinking she's the "real" Guinevere, save Arthur, who she immediately marries and starts to protect. Premise: Guinevere died in the convent where she'd been sent by an her father.
