Thank you BookSprout and Laura Greenwood for the ARC copy of this in exchange for an honest review! WHAT I LIKED: While this was a short book, I enjoyed the magical aspect of it. I am a fan of this fairytale and have been for years. Reading the different spins that people can put on it is always fun for me. This was an easy book to follow even when switching views from each character. WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: This book was too short.. too easy.. their prophecy that they had to break was so minimal compared to what it could have been that there was a lack of excitement in this book for me. There were loose ends throughout the book and even though they were at a royalty school, there was very little mention of classes or teachers or even the high school drama that we all know occurs.. OVERALL / RECOMMENDATION: It is a short quick read that is guaranteed a happy ending without too much drama occurring. If you need a book to just reset and clear your mind, this is that book. It is easy to follow and doesn't contain piles and piles of information you are trying to keep in order. Overall, I recommend this book to anyone your enjoys an easy read.

Gwen is in love with Lancelot but engaged to Prince Arthur. Unless they can stop her prophecy she knew that she would betray Arthur start a war and die. They just have to find a way to stop the prophecy and have their happily ever after. This was a good story with fairies and wonderful characters. I enjoyed the story and would recommend it.. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Gwen and Lancelot are aware of the prophecy between Gwen and Arthur but at the same time they can't help to fall in love with each other. I really liked how this prophecy ended and no harm came to Arthur, Gwen, Lancelot or their friend Dindrane. I eagerly want to read the next book to find out what happens next with the hints given at the end of the book.
