However, I have since read the Elizabeth Frankenstein book that she wrote and also the Arthurian legend retelling and I gave both of them two stars. Was not a really big fan.
The Guinevere deception (2019)
A new fantasy series set in the world of Camelot that bestselling author Christina Lauren calls brilliant, reimagining the Arthurian legend . . . where nothing is as magical and terrifying as a girl. Princess Guinevere has come to Camelot to wed a stranger: the charismatic King Arthur. With magic clawing at the kingdom's borders, the great wizard Merlin conjured a solution--send in Guinevere to be Arthur's wife . . . and his protector from those who want to see the young king's idyllic city fail. The catch? Guinevere's real name--and her true identity--is a secret. She is a changeling, a girl who has given up everything to protect Camelot. To keep Arthur safe, Guinevere must navigate a court in which the old--including Arthur's own family--demand things continue as they have been, and the new--those drawn by the dream of Camelot--fight for a better way to live. And always, in the green hearts of forests and the black depths of lakes, magic lies in wait to reclaim the land. Deadly jousts, duplicitous knights, and forbidden romances are nothing compared to the greatest threat of all: the girl with the long black hair, riding on horseback through the dark woods toward Arthur. Because when your whole existence is a lie, how can you trust even yourself? THE FIRST BOOK IN THE CAMELOT RISING TRILOGY
for somereason I started this one and just couldn't get into it so I just put itoff
the one book that i read like that the gwen of your deception i didn't even like that much
i did read the guinevere deception and thought it was mediocre not going to continue with that series
this story does take some interesting twists on the traditional arthurian legends i don't know if i like some of them or the facts that we push this more y a i'm i'm all over the place with the series
I got 49 pages into it, but I'm going to put this down. It's just not the time for a fantasy right now.
