The second book in a new fantasy trilogy from New York Times best-selling author Kiersten White, exploring the nature of self, the inevitable cost of progress, and, of course, magic and romance and betrayal so epic Queen Guinevere remains the most famous queen who never lived.
Everything is as it should be in Camelot: King Arthur is expanding his kingdom's influence with Queen Guinevere at his side. Yet every night, dreams of darkness and unknowable power plague her.
Guinevere might have accepted her role, but she still cannot find a place for herself in all of it. The closer she gets to the people around her - Brangien, pining for her lost love Isolde; Lancelot, fighting to prove her worth as Queen's knight; and Arthur, everything to everyone and thus never quite enough for Guinevere - the more she realizes how empty she is. She has no sense of who she truly was before she was Guinevere. The more she tries to claim herself as queen, the more she wonders if Mordred was right: she doesn't belong. She never will.
When a rescue goes awry and results in the death of something precious, a devastated Guinevere returns to Camelot to find the greatest threat yet has arrived. Not in the form of the Dark Queen or an invading army, but in the form of the real Guinevere's younger sister. Is her deception at an end? And who is she really deceiving - Camelot, or herself?

Guinevere has accepted her role as queen. Her relationship with Arthur is growing, but her feelings for Mordrid leave her confused. Worse still, the decisions she makes for her people leave a trail of casualties behind her. When a girl arrives in Camelot claiming to be her sister, she is convinced that Camelot is under attack from within. Can she get to the bottom of Guinevach’s true identity before Camelot falls to her charms?
The Camelot Betrayal is rich with internal conflict. Guinevere struggles with her true identity, her lack of memory, and the consequences of her decisions. She struggles with blame because of what she did in the previous book. Overall, this story is everything I love from a traditional fantasy. Knights, kings and queens, political intrigue, adventure, quests. But also romance and deception. It checks all the boxes.
“𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔. 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒊𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒆, 𝒊𝒕 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕. 𝑨𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒔—𝒗𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒘𝒊𝒔𝒆—𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒆.”
While magic isn’t heavy in this book, I still really love the magical system and world building. Guinevere’s knot magic is so creative and she finds ways to use it in many different circumstances. Especially when it comes to aiding her in her quests.
Once again, I loved the genderbending qualities of this story. Lancelot is still one of my favorite characters. I appreciated Guinevere’s ability to take matters into her own hands. She doesn’t need her husband to save her, nor does she expect or wait for him to. Sometimes to a fault, as we see with the lasting consequences of her decisions.
I also appreciated that we began to see some flaws from Arthur. He will do anything for Camelot. But he also allows emotions to blind him. This comes full circle at the end of the book when his emotions are used against him.
That being said, the story ended on a cliffhanger. I have mixed feelings about that because it was frustrating but it also hints at the potential to come. The entire book, Guinevere struggles with her identity. She has so many questions. With this ending, she is finally in a place where she’s going to discover who she really is. We are FINALLY going to get answers! But the wait is going to kill me. 𝗠𝗬 𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚: 𝟰/𝟱⭐️

This installment was so much fun and I loved seeing the relationship between Guinevere and Lancelot develop more. I know that a lot of people are hoping for a Guinevere and Lancelot romance, but I love their friendship at the moment. My mind could certainly still be changed, but I'm firmly team Mordred at the moment.
I really enjoyed that there was a quest in this book, which expanded the world and showed us more of Guinevere away from Arthur. I also appreciated getting more of Guinevere's backstory and can't wait to find out even more about who she really is and what her purpose is.
Although I loved this book, I did find myself enjoying it a bit less than the first one. It was a quicker read, but I loved the mystery of The Guinevere Deception a bit more. I was hoping for a bit more development with the main story, but the side quest was still a lot of fun. I will definitely be preordering the third one!
The Camelot Betrayal is the sequel to The Guinevere Deception by Kiersten White. Continuing with the fantasy retelling of King Arthur, I enjoyed this book even better than the first. There were some questions I had after the first book that were answered in this follow-up. I still really love that Lancelot is a woman in White's series, with the same unbeatable reputation we're familiar with from the legends. I feel like I've been immersed in a lot of Camelot-esque stories this year between other books I've read and a popular Netflix series I watched, and this book only added to that immersive fun. I think this is a trilogy so I'm already anxiously awaiting the third book. I can't wait to see what happens with Guinevere next.
I liked that part of the real Guinevere's past came to 'haunt' our Guinevere and watching her deal with that subplot really added to Guinevere's character growth and that made me a happy reader.
We had still about the same amount of Arthur as last time and there was more of a focus on the characters and their relationships (romantic and platonic). I loved getting to see more of everyone and this is what made this a better read than book one for me. Though I love worldbuilding I was really excited to get to know Guinevere and her companions more.
Saying all of that, I do believe this is a slower-paced read than book one, we have not as much action and the plot is taking its time, strolling toward the ending. BUT that ending was such a whopper, I NEED BOOK 3 NOW!

Guinevere have accepted her role, but she still can't find her place in all of this. And Sir Lancelot, who's a woman in this version, is in love with her Queen. A forbidden love of course. But those two really have a chemistry. And with Mordred we have a love triangle. Forget Arthur. He's there but whatever...
With how this book end, can't wait to start reading the last book in this serie.

La suite est pénible, il ne se passe rien, l'héroïne fatigue avec ses changements d'avis toutes les 30 secondes. Elle passe son temps à chouiner. J'ai pris le 3e, mais je sais déjà qu'il va m'ennuyer à mort avec un plot-twist pseudo féministe à deux balles à se frapper la tête contre le mur tant ça ne sort de nulle part.
Je pense qu'on dit cette série "féministe" pour le marketing, parce qu'il n'y a rien de féministe là-dedans et ça me saoule.
