![]() ![]() While I loved almost everything about it, I must admit that there was one twist to this otherwise modern tale that had me tilting my head, raising an eyebrow, and contemplating whether I liked it or not. The first two felt like modern takes on the Arthurian legend this third one, however, came off as more of a modern retelling of sorts, but with enough liberties taken that it's able to stand on its own. Without giving too much away, this trilogy, which was formerly titled American Queen but changed to New Camelot (not sure if it was officially called the former by the author or if it was something that librarians over at Goodreads decided to come up with), went in a direction I wasn't expecting. So, did this highly awaited third book in a much-touted trilogy finally live up to what I had expected of it? Yes.and no. They say that "heavy is the head that wears the crown" and never was it truer than it the case of an American president who was at the cusp of losing the two people he loved above all else. I was so excited and anxious to find out how Maxen Ashley Colchester, Greer Galloway, Colchester, and Embry Moore would fare after the tumultuous end of the second book. ![]() ![]() American King was, hands down, one of my most anticipated reads of 2017, and expectations for this conclusion to Sierra Simone's New Camelot series were astronomic to say the least, but feel free to pin the blame on the impeccable storytelling in the first two novels, American Queen and American Prince. ![]()
