This book started out as a two for me as it was very slow to get to the meat of the story. It simple and boring i read quite a few of this author book and i was expecting a bang out of the gate. Maybe it cause i know the Arthur stories and read many of them. The one thing that really bumped this story to a four is that it does what many of those do not it centers on Guinevere and other female characters to where you almost forget your reading a Arthur retelling.

The story at the heart of it is a deception story and our king is all in the know about it. Their are small secrets and then their are big ones. Kirsten White is the master of dark materials and this one has hints of it but i have a feeling now that all the ground work has been laid the remaining books in this serious will take that hint of darkness and it going to splash all over the story.

This is one novel that you have to wade into it takes sometime to get the ground work laid and I not usually a big fan of these kind of stories. I want the meat but in this case it paid off to get the ground work. Now that it been laid i really excited to see where the rest of this retelling is going.
