This is one of those sequels where you can easily sort what's setup for the finale.
Some of those encounters don't build on the plot of this particular story either. Other events also happen with too little build-up, like rescue missions and encounters with Mordred and magical foes.
It's too much mystery with too little explanation until much later in the story. It doesn't help that The Camelot Deception starts with a half-formed dream of the Lady of the Lake and the Dark Queen. Even if she leans toward betrayal and spends much of the book hiding things from Arthur, she does everything she can to keep her friends safe and sacrifices much for them and for Camelot.įantasy fans will enjoy this second trip to Camelot as intrigue builds and relationships get more complicated, but sometimes this world seems as hazy as Guinevere's memory. Guinevere continues to battle with her two roles: magical protector and dutiful queen. Just like the first book, expect some drinking at celebrations and dinners and some kissing, both straight and LGBTQ+. A good dragon is also injured and killed. Someone is nearly choked to death and someone else is stripped of all his memories until he is brain dead.
Violence here is mostly of the fantasy variety - people and wolves are killed by magical fire - but there are also skirmishes where people die from arrows and one man is run through with a sword. Readers learned in the first book, The Guinevere Deception, about a reimagined queen of Camelot who wields magic and is sent to protect King Arthur and the kingdom. Parents need to know that The Camelot Betrayal is the second book in the Camelot Rising trilogy by Kiersten White, author of the And I Darken trilogy, Illusions of Fate, and The Chaos of Stars.
