I don't know why I thought I would enjoy this sequel because the first book was not my favorite. I've decided this author isn't for me. I was bored most of this book and confused as well.

As a fan of the first book in this series, I was excited to read the sequel, and it did not disappoint! While the plot did at times lag from "middle book syndrome", the strength of the characters and the world building was more than enough to keep me interested. This is primarily a character-driven series, and these characters are strong enough to hold up the book. Both excited for and dreading (that cliffhanger.....) the next installment!

Thank you Netgalley for the E-Arc in exchange of a review.
I started reading this one but didn't hold my interest. I thought the concept was good but I wish I could have connected with the characters and plot more.

I'm a little late to the game here, but overall enjoyed this story. Honestly, I liked the friendship with Lancelot over the relationship with Arthur, but still loved the dynamics and pacing.

Thank you to NetGalley for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love Guinevere and her knight, Sir Lancelot’s, relationship. They have such a strong friendship and I have to keep telling myself Lancelot is a woman as we all know Lancelot was a man. I think this made the friendship even stronger.

I have love/hate feeling about Guinevere and Author’s relationship. I love them both as people of course, but there are just ...things. I happen to like Mordred unless he does something bad in the next book.

I feel that Guinevere is slowly growing into herself in this book. We shall see where the next book takes us. I mean that ending!!!!

Oh, and that cover!!! Gah!! I need an art book full of all the beautiful book covers!!

Like most book series, I was worried that this would have the second book syndrome. But I was pleasantly surprised! The plot was steady and I enjoyed this story as much as the first book!

Okay so I tried the next book and I found that this is just not for me. I really wanted to love these books but I just don't think it was executed very well.

I will be honest, I wasn't too sure about this one in the beginning. It started a little slow for me and the stakes didn't appear to be particularly high.

I did enjoy the character growth Guinevere was displaying and I also really enjoyed the subplot following Isolde and Brangien; give me a rescue mission any day.

I love a new Kiersten White—always complex female characters, unique reimaginings, and page-turning plots. This did not disappoint!

I was worried when I read the blurb for this book that it would have ‘second book syndrome’ but I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually better than the first one! The plot kept me on the edge of my seat and I can honestly say I had no idea where it was headed- in the best way. The world, the magic, and the author’s interpretation of the characters and their relationships was so unique from anything else I’ve read/ heard for a Camelot retelling. I definitely recommend this series and am looking forward to reading the third installment.

I have felt that this series has been getting better and better. While I don’t think this book was very life changing or very progressive in terms of the story, I also don’t think it was worse than the first. There was some development but overall more of a filler of a book. Not bad, but not great.

I really enjoyed book 2 in the Camelot Rising series. The Camelot Betrayal was a little slow at first and it took a little bit to draw me back into Camelot. But once I was back, I was hooked. Absolutely loved the story, characters, and flow.

I got about halfway into this book and realized that I'd lost interest in the characters. This is probably more a me thing than anything, but I just didn't have any will to finish the book. I do look forward to upcoming Kiersten White books though!

This is a good second book. Yes, it is a bit slower and full of information but that helped to move the story along. You get to see Guinevere's relationships and friendships with Arthur and the others grow stronger, plus lots of character growth. I do not think Guinevere should end up with Arthur though, I definitely prefer Mordred!

I can't wait for the final book to see it all come together!

This series is a lot of funny. Maybe I'm biased because I love both Kiersten White and Arthurian legends, but I found this perspective both unique and fascinating.

I didn't realize this was book 2 when I requested it. Guinevere and Sir Lancelot's friendship is one I really admire. Friendship and loyalty go a long way in my book. Guinevere is unsure of who she is but she had some really great character growth. At times, this felt like filler but was still enjoyable.

I have not read the first in this series and am not sure I will. I’ve discovered my tastes in books are rapidly changing. I will update my review if I read this.

Amazing book! Picked up right after book 1 left off. And I loved every second. Kept me just as interest and I didn't want to put it down

I received this free eARC novel from NetGalley. This is my honest review.

This has been on my TBR pile for so long, and I'm glad I finally got around to it. I really enjoyed the storyline and seeing the characters change throughout the story was a great character development. The plot was great and kept my attention. I'm glad I got the chance to read this and will be on the lookout for more in the future!

Just as good as book one, The Camelot Betrayal is full of twists and morally gray characters that you don’t know what to make of them! Also in love with the brilliant cliffhanger ending. I’m rooting so hard for Guinevere and Lancelot, and can’t wait for the big mystery to be revealed! 4/5 stars
