Explanation As Books Queen of Camelot (Queen of Camelot #1-2)

On the night of Guinevere’s birth, a wise woman declares a prophecy of doom for the child: She will be gwenhwyfar, the white shadow, destined to betray her king, and be herself betrayed. Years pass, and Guinevere becomes a great beauty, riding free across Northern Wales on her beloved horse. She is entranced by the tales of the valorous Arthur, a courageous warrior who seems to Guinevere no mere man, but a legend. Then she finds herself betrothed to that same famous king, a hero who commands her willing devotion. Just as his knights and all his subjects, she falls under Arthur’s spell. At the side of King Arthur, Guinevere reigns strong and true. Yet she soon learns how the dark prophecy will reveal itself. She is unable to conceive. Arthur’s only true heir is Mordred, offspring of a cursed encounter with the witch Morgause. Now Guinevere must make a fateful choice: She decides to raise Mordred, teaching him to be a ruler and to honor Camelot. She will love him like a mother. Mordred will be her greatest joy–and the key to her ultimate downfall. Return to a time of legend–the days of Guinevere and Arthur and the glory that was to become Camelot

Critique Based On Books Queen of Camelot (Queen of Camelot #1-2)

Beautiful beautiful telling of the story of Guinevere, Arthur, and Lancelot. I loved Mists of Avalon and The Crystal Cave and the rest of Mary Stewart's series, but this is my favorite of all. The love these three had for each other is so tenderly but powerfully told by Guinevere herself and for the first time I felt I came to know her. This time it was not as a sad victim, an unfaithful wife, or a woman destroyed by her circumstances. This time she was brave against extreme adversity, loyal to

3.5 stars...In this retelling of Camelot by Nancy McKenzie we are thrust into the world of King Arthur, Lancelot and Guinevere. This story follows Gwen growing up and how she finds herself to be married to Arthur. I was wrapped up in this story from the moment I knew it would come from Gwen's point of view. Along the way I was shocked to see the devotion she was given from both Arthur and Lancelot. Never before has a woman been so deeply loved by both these men. In fact Gwen has many admirers

Well, I quite enthusiastically give this book 4 stars. Another Arthurian novel told from the viewpoint of Guinevere (I've read a few this year) and I really liked it. Probably my only complaint is that the characters often come across as too good to be true. It is a little over the top and gets a bit annoying. I would like them a little more flawed I suppose. But otherwise I loved the spin on the story and I loved, LOVED Mordred in this one. You'll recognize all the characters and see much of



Two-and-a-half stars. Nancy McKenzie puts an interesting spin on a well-known legend. This is Guinevere's autobiography and there is no doubt she is the true hero of this tale. McKenzie does a smart job of entwining the mythical and believable to create the story that is the basis for the legend that will evolve. The feminist heart will delight to find that "Gwen" is a woman ahead of her time who has power in her own right to match Arthur's. And then it will fall to find Guinevere subject to

I had a really hard time finishing this book. I lost interest about half-way through but felt guilty for already wasting so much time on it. I wanted to like it a lot more than I did.

Combines the two brilliant works by Nancy McKenzie about Arhur's Queen Guinevere and one of the best reteallings of the Arthurian legend.An extremely engaging book, full of adventure, passion, intrigue and emotion.Engages the reader evey step of the way.It traces the early life of Gunievere , who would be Arthur's bride, from her birth to the king and young queen of the Kingdom of Northgallis, where a witch predicts the night of her birth that she would live to be the greatest lady in Britain,
