When I closed this third book of the Guinevere trilogy I had conflicted feelings. Sad that it was over, but glad that it was over, if that makes sense. It was full of adventure, courage, betrayal, and humor. I enjoyed the author's portrayal of Guinevere immensely, (which is different from most). If you like Arthurian legends, this trilogy is for you.Author: Persia Woolley

This complimentary review copy was received thankfully from Kay and Sourcebooks Landmark and in no way influenced my review of this book. These are my personal thoughts and reactions to the reading of the book.

This has been my favorite set of books based on Arthurian legend. Definitely looking forward to reading this one!
This isn't normally the type of book I would read, but I have the first one on my Nook. It was a freebie from Barnes & Noble. I hope to eventually get around to reading it.
I always get sad while reading them so not for me, they are just so sad and depressing
I wasn't over the moon with the first one so I passed on further books in this series. I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
I just finished Child of the Northern Spring, and loved it, so I'll have to continue. Thanks Nise. If I were doing a novel study I would have taken note that Lancelot was mentioned with Morgan in the first one, the study of magic? Hmmmmm.
Well, I'm working on Mists of Avalon. When I'm done I bet I'll be more intereted in books like this :)
I like Arthur books but haven't picked up this trilogy yet. When I see that you (and others) had mixed feelings, I'm a bit hesitant to start reading.
This sounds beautiful Nise!
I would have read these but was afraid I am not like the portrayal of Guinevere. She can be polar opposites. If I see the first one at the library I'll pick it up.
