They say that every tragic hero has a fatal flaw, a secret sin, a tiny stitch sewn into his future since birth. And here I am. My sins are no longer secret. My flaws have never been more fatal. And I’ve never been closer to tragedy than I am now.
I am a man who loves, a man whose love demands much in return. I am a king, a king who was foolish enough to build a kingdom on the bones of the past. I am a husband and a lover and a soldier and a father and a president.
And I will survive this.Long live the king.
The New Camelot Trilogy is hot, it’s filled with intrigue, taboo, politics and suspense, and it’s not certain that all the players will still be there in the end…
Story:
The New Camelot Trilogy is my Can You Read a Series in a Month Challenge – and I totally nailed it. As soon as I started reading, I was drawn in – to the mystery, the steam, the friendships, and the war. The main characters were introduced in a great way, and I felt a connection to them even if they were all very different from me.
There is a political intrigue going on, but there’s also something that appears to be slightly supernatural happening. Especially because both Greer and Maxen have this feeling of deja vu more than once. And as you can probably get from the title The New Camelot Trilogy has something to do with an old tale of a king.
I loved how Simone was able to weave the tales of Arthur into her New Camelot series, because it’s a tale I’ve studied quite a bit during my years at University. And the way she brought this to a modern time, including Merlin made things seem a little less contemporary at times, and I enjoyed that!
Characters:
Greer Galloway is young at the beginning of the trilogy, but she is still seen as a political princess. She’s the granddaughter of a former vice president, and she is extremely good at reading people.
Embry has so many different parts of his personality it was a bit difficult to get to know him. Keeping himself slightly apart, he was the character who intrigued me the most in The New Camelot series.
Maxen is the president – in the present. He is also an adopted child who didn’t know his parents, an army captain, and mostly a decent human being.
Merlin wields a lot of power, and he doesn’t always appear to use that power for good!
Writing style :
Each book follows one of the main characters, and the narration flows very easily.
Feels :
In the first book of the New Camelot series, I felt so much excitement, and also quite a bit of hot! But there was more than that – the suspense was well done, and I enjoyed understanding some things thangs to my knowledge of Arthurian legends.

You just got me excited for this trilogy. I would totally start reading it right now if I had the books. I’ll definitely gonna look into buying the first book soon I think. And I love that it’s a retelling of the tale of King Arthur. Also gives it that something extra.
It’s still dark, though, Stephanie – and it’s a menage… I really enjoyed it 🙂
I’ve heard such good things about this series and Sierra Simone. It sounds very out of my comfort zone, but I want to give them a try since it’s so beloved. It definitely sounds very hot. I didn’t realize this had some suspense threads to it as well.
Glad you enjoyed it, Lexxie!
A few years ago, I’m not sure if I would have dared to read this series, Nick. But while some stuff was out of my comfort zone, I enjoyed myself, too!
This cover looks hot! Great review thanks for sharing, although I do not read this genre, I love the cover and you write an awesome review!
Thanks, Cynthia! 🙂
I actually don’t care for the original Arthurian legends but I do often enjoy the retellings… so I think this one might make my tbr! 🙂
I love the original Arthurian legends, because depending on if they were written in French or in English, they are very different 🙂
