This series is to the Arthurian saga what Twilight is to vampires. Cringeworthy, yet I can't look away. ( )

Usually the third in a trilogy is set up to be the most thrilling of all three stories. Theoretically, it has been building up for the two previous books, leaving the third to just get on with the story and move forward with the action. Not so with this book. It seemed to drag right along with the slow expository that the second book lacked.

The characters continued in their downward spirals, lacking the appeal that made the story enjoyable even up through the end of the second novel.

I must also admit that the villification of the church throughout the story made me incredibly uncomfortable, even as a non-theist. It detracted further from the appeal of the story and really bogged down the already convoluted end of the story with more complications.

I expected a lot more from this third novel than I got out of it. It was a truly disappointing end to a promising trilogy. ( )

I started reading this trilogy, hated it, but had to finish it. It seems like the author has a hateful spite towards men, and released these feelings in these books. In this story, King Arthur is a weak, trembling fool, who owes is greatness to the women who surrounded him. ( )

The 3rd book in the series...doesn't disappoint. ( )

I loved this series, probably more than the author's 'Tristan & Isolde' series. Reading the 'Guenevere' series this summer even helped me out in my college classic myth class (involving the triple goddess, female archetypes, and what not). This is definately going to be a reread for me. If you enjoyed it and haven't tried the author's 'Tristan & Isolde' series, get started. I'm digging into her "I, Elizabeth" next. ( )
