In fact, I even remarked in my review for The Camelot Betrayal that I had no idea why Lancelot had ever been made a female. It just seemed like such an odd narrative choice because the character and her new gender, were completely underutilized. I have been completely perplexed throughout the trilogy, which decided to make Lancelot a woman.
After two other books in the series placing Guinevere in a love triangle with King Arthur and (his nephew, in this retelling) Mordred, Guinevere finally decides she’s in love with Lancelot. I guess what was more shocking to me was why I didn’t like the ending.
I wish I could say I was surprised by how disappointed I was by the ending, but I’ve had a feeling I wouldn’t like the ending since The Camelot Betrayal. The Excalibur Curse is the final entry in The Camelot Rising trilogy.
Guinevere has been a changeling, a witch, a queen-but what does it mean to be just a girl? To undo the mistakes of the past.even if it means destroying herself. Guinevere is determined to set things right, whatever the cost. When Guinevere makes an agonizing discovery about who she is and how she came to be, she finds herself with an impossible choice: fix a terrible crime, or help prevent war. Vowing to unravel the truth of her past with or without Merlin's help, Guinevere joins forces with the sorceress Morgana and her son, Mordred-and faces the confusing, forbidden feelings she still harbors for him. But the greatest danger isn't what lies ahead of Guinevere-it's what's been buried inside her.
Behind her are Lancelot, trapped on the other side of the magical barrier they created to protect Camelot, and Arthur, who has been led away from his kingdom, chasing after false promises. While journeying north toward the Dark Queen, Guinevere falls into the hands of her enemies. The gripping conclusion to the acclaimed Arthurian fantasy trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White finds Guinevere questioning everything-friends and enemies, good and evil, and, most of all, herself.
