The Excalibur Curse
ByPublisher Description
The gripping conclusion to the acclaimed Arthurian fantasy trilogy from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White finds Guinevere questioning everything—friends and enemies, good and evil, and, most of all, herself.
While journeying north toward the Dark Queen, Guinevere falls into the hands of her enemies. Behind her are Lancelot, trapped on the other side of the magical barrier they created to protect Camelot, and Arthur, who has been led away from his kingdom, chasing after false promises. But the greatest danger isn’t what lies ahead of Guinevere—it’s what’s been buried inside her.
Vowing to unravel the truth of her past with or without Merlin’s help, Guinevere joins forces with the sorceress Morgana and her son, Mordred—and faces the confusing, forbidden feelings she still harbors for him. When Guinevere makes an agonizing discovery about who she is and how she came to be, she finds herself with an impossible choice: fix a terrible crime, or help prevent war.
Guinevere is determined to set things right, whatever the cost. To defeat a rising evil. To remake a kingdom. To undo the mistakes of the past...even if it means destroying herself.
Guinevere has been a changeling, a witch, a queen—but what does it mean to be just a girl?

“The ending ruined it for me. No conclusion on the romance subplot and I am a huge hater of the MC has to lose their magic to win the battle. I loved this trilogy until that ending 😭”
“My feelings on this one are complicated. I want to really like it but I’m unsure. On the plot I think it was okay, it meandered a little sometimes mostly related to the romance but when it was focused it was on par with the rest of the series. It felt sometimes like things happened for no reason or were immediately undone. I liked the conclusion and Guinevere’s conflict over who she is was interesting. The other characters reactions were realistic though, none of them knew the old Guinevere it makes sense that they don’t want to lose her to a stranger. The Merlin twist was good, I think there was enough even from the first book to establish him as nefarious, him wanting to be a hero works on what we know.
On the romance idk, I saw the Lancelot twist coming pretty much from the moment she was revealed to be a girl. And I had written in my notes multiple times that I was getting romantic vibes from them but I wasn’t store if they were intentional. That being said I feel like their relationship romantically wasn’t as fleshed out as the others. Even after Guinivere realises her feelings for Lancelot they are apart for several more chapters. Most of the story really. When you’ve focused the series on a love triangle between two other options, I think the last book should have a lot more focus on the third option if that’s who ends up being endgame. About half the book is focused on her relationship with Mordred and then it does a 180 of her realising feelings for Lancelot and then they don’t really spend time together after or even talk about it. Like does Lancelot know how Guinevere feels? The romantic writing in these books are pretty good so I’m kind of bummed we didn’t get equivalent scenes of them.”
“no entendí nada pero lo leí porque el libro salió caro
nunca ví una protagonista tan puta e insoportable y puta
en ningún momento caí que era lésbico asi que solo me imaginaba a Lancelot como hombre
le faltó sexo”
